Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Mojo, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

I was going to put down brownies with walnuts, but since I don't consider that "junk food" I had to reconsider. I have a number of favorites in different categories, but at the top of the list is no surprise to those who visit the Canteen on Thursday nights and Fridays. POPCORN!

Now for the DC Metroland weather report. Today, nice and sunny. Tomorrow, rainy and cooler!

Now, in honor of junk food day, here's some Tantalizing Trivia to go with it.........

Which U.S. sandwich shop was originally named "Pete's Super Submarines"?

Subway. Subway was born in Bridgeport, CT and was the brainchild of 17 year old Fred DeLuca & his friend Dr. Peter Buck.

Which U.S. midwestern fast food chain, known for their famous burgers, celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1996?

White Castle. White Castle burgers are undoubtedly known for their square steamed ground beef patty, grilled minced onions, and no flip method of cooking.

Zteca Mexican Grill is now known by what name?

Qdoba Mexican Grill. The Jack in the Box company owns Qdoba Mexican Grill.

Which U.S. fast food chain was developed based on McDonald's assembly-line system?

Taco Bell. Glen Bell, founder of Taco Bell copied McDonald's systematic idea. He substituted his "Mexican food" instead of "American food". The company was founded on March 21, 1962.

To all newbies and lurkers

Egads! Look at the time. I've got to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is OPEN

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and

our allied military and the family members of the above.

Honoring those who have served before.
