Yesterday's Answer:

The March of Dimes Foundation is a United States nonprofit organization that works to improve the health of mothers and babies. It was founded by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1938 to combat polio. It has since taken up promoting general health for pregnant women and babies. The mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Because Franklin D.

Battle of Yorktown

Battle of Waterloo

Battle of Gettysburg

Battle of the Little Bighorn

[JoGee]

Yesterday's Answer:

George Armstrong Custer was a United States Army officer and cavalry commander in the American Civil War and the American Indian Wars. After the Civil War, Custer was dispatched to the west to fight in the American Indian Wars and appointed lieutenant colonel of the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment where he and all his men were killed at the BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN in 1876 fighting against a coalition of Native American tribes. The battle is popularly known in American history as "Custer's Last Stand." Custer and his men were defeated so decisively in this battle that the Battle of the Little Bighorn has overshadowed all his prior achievements.

Today's Question:

Brazil

Colombia

Venezuela

Argentina


☕️☕️☕️

[JoGee]

Yesterday's Answer:

Juan Valdez is a fictional character who has appeared in advertisements for the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia since 1958, representing a Colombian coffee farmer. The adverts were designed by the Doyle Dane Bernbach ad agency, with the goal of distinguishing 100%-Colombian coffee from coffee blended with beans from other countries. He typically appears with his mule Conchita, carrying sacks of harvested coffee beans. He has become an icon for Colombia as well as coffee in general, and Juan Valdez's iconic appearance is frequently mimicked or parodied in television and other media.

Last Answer:

Escargot, a French dish, uses snails as a main ingredient. In French culture, the snails are typically purged, killed, removed from their shells, and cooked (usually with garlic butter, chicken stock or wine), and then placed back into the shells with the butter and sauce for serving. Additional ingredients may be added, such as garlic, thyme, parsley and pine nuts. Special snail tongs (for holding the shell) and snail forks (for extracting the meat) are also normally provided, and they are served on indented metal trays with places for six or 12 snails.
