This is my first published puzzle, and I think the moderators have picked the most unusual one of the lot (and the hardest since it's the most unusual), but I hope those who get the joke get a good laugh out of it. :)
I'll be around to give salt.

Hmm, no solves in 20 minutes. I guess everybody is finding this as enigmatic as I am.

[2] You guess correctly.

[1] OK, where's the salt?

No solves and I have no clue

[2] Initial salt:
* Your ordinary methods won't work as there are no anagram or substitution cipher involved, nor tanga numbers (except see [11]).
* I've been told the background is a little hard to see. It's from Romeo and Juliet. The play, not the phonetic alphabet.
* I like hiding salt in the file name: Act2_scene2.PNG

20 minutes is long enough for me. I guess I'll have to look for more salt later.

Wow, do I like running late and getting here just after salt! (not salt)
edit: Ah, [11]'s salt is better!

[7] Philana and 2 others.
Edit: runart and epaz too. Geez, Recent Tanganite Activities is tantamount to stalking. :p

There is a helpful acrostic in the puzzle.

[1] I did laugh, after I hit myself upside the head!

[11] is good salt. As [1] and [6] imply, this is not your usual tanga puzzle revolving around pushing letters around. Think more holistically: what's in common between what the 4 clues describe?

I thought I wasn't going to like this one, even as I was solving.
But on reflection, I found it very satisfying, and I must applaud the originality.

[12] [14] Glad you liked it. :)
One more pinch of salt: How would the clues make your kids feel?

Still clueless on this one. I learned that there's a Romeo & Juliet's Bakery in Buffalo, NY, though....

[11] The acrostic is pretty obvious, so no salt needed for that, but the "helpfulness" of it is debatable. (Or at least the helpfulness of it is entirely escaping me at the moment...)

[15] Sad?

[16] - [18] You have all the pieces now. Did you check out the last salt in [6]?
