Puzzles and chocolate

I finally got around to downloading Across Lite. (Yes, I've been doing crosswords solely on paper and in crappy internet applets for a year and a half now.) So where can I find puzzles online? I downloaded some from Triple Play Puzzles, [livejournal.com profile] qaqaq's project, but I'll need more soon. On the easier side is best- I may be an NPLer, but I'm not a very good one.

I discovered a couple of weeks ago that [livejournal.com profile] jelliclekat, who claimed to like dark chocolate, was referring to Hershey's and had never tried Real Chocolate. So I sent her a sampler of nine types of dark chocolate from my private stash, and I just got this in an e-mail (posted with permission): So far I have devoured the Chocolove ginger, Mon Cherri, Eclipse, hazelnut, Rapunzel hazelnut, Hachez Chocolatier, and mint leaves. (Who needs moderation where chocolate is concerned?) This stuff is amazing, holy shit. I can never eat Hershey's again. 87% cacao is delicious. *happy squirm*

By the way, I'm not sending out Christmas cards this year. I figure last year's were awesome enough to last me two years at least. I'll try to think of something else fun and original next year.

I usually do the puzzles from the NY Sun and the Chronicle of Higher Education. There are links to these and others on the right hand side of the homepage at www.cruciverb.com

Will Johnston's Puzzle Pointers points to everything you could want in an online puzzle. http://www.fleetingimage.com/wij/xyzzy/nyt-links.html

[livejournal.com profile] gerald_duck tells me that Hotel Chocolat's 100% chocolatey stuff is rather good, I think. I may be misrepresenting his views.

When I was in Canada my cousin refused to let me even try Hershey's, not even as a Cultural Experience, and insisted on buying me some nice chocolate instead!

If it makes you feel any better, a certain puzzle editor has never installed Across Lite...
