National Puzzle Day Whether it’s a crossword, jigsaw, word searches, brain teasers or Soduku, puzzles put our brains to work. http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/2016/01/28/january-29-2016-national-puzzle-day-national-corn-chip-day/

Corn Chip Day January 29th is a great day to enjoy a corn chip topped with salsa or a little cheese. It is National Corn Chip Day.

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. http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/2016/01/28/january-29-2016-national-puzzle-day-national-corn-chip-day/

I never learned how to do Sudoku. And "brain teaser" puzzles are way too much for my brain! Have a great day!
