LIMRIDDLE ANSWER AND WINNERS

The Answer to this week’s Limriddle is: Scratch

The first 5 to answer correctly were:

1. Yael Zaretsky, Toronto, Ontario

2. Thomas LeBaron, Haliburton, Ontario

3. Lisa Vanderweil, Keremeos, British Columbia

4. Bill Heller, Edinburg, Texas

5. Richard Smart, Ancaster, Ontario

Mom crafting cake from ingredient bins.

When you make a cake from scratch, use start with the natural, individual ingredients – no prepared mixes or shortcuts!

Exit the bike race before it begins.

Untimely injuries can force you to drop out of an athletic event just before it starts. When you do so voluntarily, it’s a scratch, as opposed to a disqualification.

Not up to snuff If the standards are tough.

When something isn’t up to scratch, it means in doesn’t meet standard.

Itch unattended for fishes with fins.

Ever wonder how fishes get at those nagging itches when they can’t scratch? Must be torture.
