National Puzzle Day

January 29 is National Puzzle Day, the perfect day to do a little brain exercise. Whether it’s a crossword, jigsaw, or Sudoku, puzzles engage our brain in more ways than one. Scientists have discovered that when we work on a jigsaw puzzle, we utilize both sides of the brain, improving memory, cognitive function and problem solving skills in the process. By utilizing puzzles, people can stimulate the brain improve a number of skills.

National Puzzle Day Activities

Spend time putting together a jigsaw puzzle
Have an old uncompleted puzzle laying around? Call up a friend and spend time piecing together a puzzle. Extra points for completing your puzzle!

Complete a Sudoku or crossword puzzle
Taking a coffee break? Bust out that handy crossword puzzle or Sudoku booklet.

Use #NationalPuzzleDay on social media
Feeling accomplished after completing your jigsaw, Sudoku, or crossword puzzle? Share it with your online community using #NationalPuzzleDay to encourage people to join in the fun!

Why We Love National Puzzle Day

Happiness
Recent studies have shown that people who participate in collaborative games, such as puzzles have higher levels of happiness, and in some cases relaxation, as a result of their good ol’ fashion fun. A challenging jigsaw puzzle undoubtedly brings out that sense of joy.

Puzzles serve as a sense of accomplishment
Not just in a personal sense, but in a group sense. That feeling of completing the final few pieces of the puzzle with your best friends = priceless.

It’s a way of stimulating the mind.
Puzzles stimulate the brain, improving number and problem solving kills while keeping it active.

National Corn Chip Day

On January 29th, grab the queso or salsa and celebrate National Corn Chip Day. Recognized each year across the country, the day encourages corn chip lovers to whip up their favorite dips and toppings.

The corn chip or friotes are not to be confused with the tortilla chip. Both are made from cornmeal which is baked or fried in oil.

Differing steps for processing the corn separate the tortilla from the corn chip. The corn for a tortilla chip is soaked in a lime-water solution that breaks down the hulls. This process creates a crisper, milder chip. A corn chip is sturdier with a stronger corn flavor. Both were popular snacks originating in Mexico.

There are two men credited with patenting and marketing the corn chip in the United States. First, Isador J. Filler often ate a tostada (a hard corn tortilla with toppings) while traveling in San Antonio, Texas as a salesman. He struck on the idea of making them in rectangles and marketing them as a chip. In 1932 he patented his concept.

Around the same time, Elmer Doolin was also traveling in San Antonio and was enjoying friotes. According to the story, he paid $100 for the recipe. Experimenting in his home until he created the ideal chip, Doolin then started selling them from the back of his Model T Ford. When he began mass-producing them under the name of Frito Corn Chips, they were a hit.

In 1945, Doolin came to an agreement with Herman Lay (of potato chip fame) to distribute Doolin’s Fritos across the country. The two companies merged in 1959 after Doolin’s death.

HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalCornChipDay
Grab your favorite corn chips. Add some dips or topping. Be sure to share with friends or family, too. It’s the best way to #CelebrateEveryDay. They’re great additions to just about any gathering. And be sure to use #NationalCornChipDay to post on social media.

NATIONAL CORN CHIP DAY HISTORY
National Corn Chip Day has been observed since at least 2002. However, we’ve not been able to identify the organizer of the celebration.

Congratulations for winning the second Bingo round Buddy! :)

Winners do not go away empty handed - They must win a prize and for winning a Double Bingo, your prize will be TWO cards from my deck of Trading Cards on my nations: Fort Verden, Elven King Thranduil and Little Thranduil. Except the cards in the Cards Gifted To Me By My Sons collection. Choose your prizes and I will send them to you Buddy!

Edit: The Randomness of Trecdom2 Buddy, please post your Bingo card too. Since you were working on getting a Double Bingo and might already have a Bingo, perhaps we have a runner up or second place winner this time. If that is the case, you will win a prize too Buddy.
