A win is a win – you say this when you overcome errors and turnovers to win a game

Today’s Who Knew? tidbits include a famous (or infamous depending on your feelings) food combination and the birthday of one of baseball’s greatest sluggers.
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES
(from TheNationalDailyShow.com)
One of the South’s most famous food creations is chicken and waffles. But this delicious combination of flavors was actually born in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. During the 1940s, the Wells Supper Club was a popular late-night spot and attracted Jazz musicians after their gigs. They’d come in hungry, but found that they’d arrived too late for dinner, but too early for breakfast. In order to accommodate the musicians, the restaurant came up with the genius idea of serving a bit of both meals. Hence, fried chicken for dinner and waffles for breakfast.
Roscoe’s House of Chicken N’ Waffles in Southern California founded National Chicken and Waffles Day this year to highlight this delicious cuisine pairing and to dedicate the day as one of service and volunteerism. Check out Roscoe’s foundation website to see more ways to get involved and celebrate National Chicken and Waffles Day.
