Fresh food is delicious. We can’t deny the benefits of fresh meat, fruits or vegetables. However, we’re a busy generation that loves to shove frozen junk out of a box and shove it into a warm pot, oven or microwave. They’re many frozen foods out on the market that will give you the equivalent of a home cooked meal. We prefer frozen foods that are quick to make, easy to eat (and a bonus if no utensils are involved) and are just as enjoyable to eat compared to a fresh hot meal. Here’s a rundown of some of our favorite frozen foods in your freezer aisle at the local grocery store.

-A taquito is a Mexican food dish most often consisting of a small rolled-up tortilla and some type of filling, including beef, cheese or chicken. We like these because you have the choice of either nuking them in the microwave or waiting longer for a crisp fried texture if you put them in the oven. They go great with ranch dip, salsa or sour cream. We’re happy to announce that the USA government requires all taquito manufacturers to sell taquitos that contain at least 15% meat. So, if you’re worried about your meat intake or simply worried about what’s inside these things – we’re happy to announce that at least you’re getting some form of meat inside these puppies at all times.

-We don’t need to produce a film about trying to locate the nearest White Castle fast food franchise when we can simply pick up a few of their sliders in the frozen foods aisle of our local grocery store. These burgers only require a warm napkin to wrap around them and can be put in the microwave for two minutes. The bun tastes a bit soggy but the meat is nice ans steamed and comes topped with caramelized onions. They come packaged as two in a pair but we can’t comment on how well your stomach will adjust to them after eating a few if you get the late night munchies.

We searched the internet far and wide to try and find some new and interesting food gadgets that will make it even lazier to cook food or simply make it taste better. Here’s a selection of some of the new and unique products that we were able to find on the net.

-Did you ever feel like less of a man when you had to shake that ketchup bottle for over 15 minutes until a tiny bit of ketchup came out and covered only a portion of your fries? Do you like guns? Do you feel lonely and naked without the feeling of a gun in your hand every couple of seconds? Well, do we ever have a product for you! This device comes with two reusable cartridges and you can get perfect ketchup and mustard lines on your hot dogs every single time. It’s also perfect for writing your name into your burgers or to simply shoot and keep predators away from your BBQ.

-We as a human species like to mark our territory. Some people like to own a large lot of land and build a huge fence to protect it while others will start a fist fight if you simply look at their girlfriend the wrong way. It’s not enough to simply put food on the grill and have your friends and family enjoy your gift of a meal. You need to send them a reminder of just who spent the time to cook this feast for them and let them know about it every time that they lift their forks to their mouths and take a bite of it. This unique branding iron can be customized with a variety of letters so the grill master can write just about anything on his delicious work of art.

-It can be annoying having to constantly get up from the couch to go and fetch yourself another beer. That’s why the beer belt was invented. Now, you can hold six, twelve or fourteen ounce cans around your waist. Each belt is constructed with waterproof ballistic nylon and will fit up to a 58 inch waist. Perfect for NASCAR events, family reunions, school musicals and baby showers.

December is holiday season and we’re bringing another Christmas quote to you from famous child actress Shirley Temple. Temple is an American film and television actress, singer and dancer who began her career in 1932 at the age of three. In April 1934, ‘Stand Up and Cheer!’ became Temple’s breakthrough film. She would appear in several films for Fox Films Corporation and later with Twentieth Century Fox after the successful merger of Fox Films and Twentieth Century Pictures. Temple’s films were produced during the great depression and many of the themes of her films included optimism, hope and generosity which helped to liven up the spirits of the American public. A succession of films followed: ‘The Little Colonel’ , ‘Our Little Girl’, ‘Curly Top’ (with the signature song ‘Animal Crackers in My Soup’), and ‘The Littlest Rebel’ in 1935.Temple was very successful at licensing merchandise with her likeness for products such as dolls, sheet music, mirrors, girls dresses and other accessories. Before 1935 ended, Temple’s income from licensed merchandise royalties would exceed $100,000, doubling her income from her movies. As Temple grew older and matured as an actress, she became typecast by Hollywood and had a hard time adapting to different roles where she could no longer rely on her childish good looks and smile to win film roles. In 1950, she officially retired from film acting but would return to host a television anthology series and would make sporadic guest appearances on sitcoms. In her later years, Temple turned to politics and became a member of the Republican party where she was appointed United States Ambassador to Ghana in the 1970s and was later appointed United States Ambassador to Czechoslovakia in the 1990s by former president George H. W. Bush. It didn’t take long for Shirley Temple to understand that she was famous at such an early age. In this month’s quote, Shirley Temple describes why she no longer believes in Santa Claus…
