CHIPOTLE TO DROP FREE ENTRÉES FOR EVERY GOAL SCORED BY THE U.S. MEN'S NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM

Real Food For Real Athletes !!!

Christian Pulisic of the U.S. Men's National Team has been a longtime fan of Chipotle's real food. When he played professionally in Dortmund, Germany, Christian would drive three hours to visit the nearest Chipotle restaurant in Frankfurt for a taste of home. Rising star Weston McKennie's first meal when he returns home from Italy is always Chipotle and he regularly meets up with USMNT teammates at a Chipotle restaurant when they're in the U.S. together. 

Both athletes will be featured in Chipotle's "Constant Ingredient" series that will showcase their highlights, setbacks, and comebacks and how Chipotle's real food has been fueling them throughout their careers. Christian and Weston's "Constant Ingredient" content will air as Chipotle's first national television ads during soccer's biggest international tournament.

Sam is informed that she has a rare gift to notice others in the past or future who need a helping hand—whether they realize it or not.  

"Christmas and the holiday season is an incredibly busy time of year, and often the importance of slowing down to notice the needs of others and showing kindness to those around us can get lost," said Dustin Britt, Senior Director of Entertainment at Chick-fil-A, Inc. "Our hope is that The Stories of Evergreen Hills™ films will inspire others to spend meaningful time together, reconnecting with loved ones. We want to celebrate the power of the little things that can make a big difference." 

The seven-minute film launches digitally on Nov. 17 on YouTube and EvergreenHills.com. A short version of the film will make its television debut on Thanksgiving Day, and it will continue to run on air through Christmas Eve. Guests at Chick-fil-A® restaurants will also be able to experience the wonder of Evergreen Hills through exclusive restaurant packaging, new holiday Kid's Meal books and festive social media activations for the whole family to enjoy. 

"In year four we feel like we are just getting started exploring the world of Evergreen Hills. We have plans to grow this tradition with things like holiday specials and even an episodic series in the future," said Britt. "We are humbled that this message has resonated with our guests these past three years and hope our films continue to spark joy and bring people together in the years to come."

Inspired to pursue his crush, Claire (Shelby Simmons, Bunk'd), Hal enlists the help of his best friend, Lane (Fabi Aguirre, Les Misérables on Broadway), to help him express his feelings, and Natalie decides she must challenge the town's cranky snowplow man if she wants to pull off the task of creating a second snow day. Jerry Trainor (iCarly) assumes the iconic role of the Snowplowman

The original Snow Day, from Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures, premiered in theaters in 2000.

It starred Chris Elliott, Mark Webber, Jean Smart, Chevy Chase, Josh Peck and Emmanuelle Chriqui, among others.

Lexi On Amazon Prime

 

Lexi, a film shot over the pandemic, has been recognized as a perfect blend of horror and thriller that keeps its audience glued to see what happens next. The Blame the Dog Productions film starring Victoria Vertuga (Dexter), Thomas Hobson (That Girl Lay Lay, Ghosts of the Ozarks), and Susan Louise O'Connor (Euphoria, Orange is the New Black) is a story of a 29-year-old motivational influencer 'Laughing Lexi' who goes missing from her new home.

Many viewers have described the movie as captivating, intriguing, thrilling, and edgy – a highly recommended watch. Victoria Vertuga breathes life into the lead character as she journeys into this independent feature film. Victoria is also the director and the writer of the film.

"It was such a unique process to bring this film to life, both the writing and shooting of it. It's very special to me because it allowed me to still create and do what I love during a really challenging time for all of us. I'm so excited it's finally out there for everyone to see," said Victoria.

The movie is available for viewers on Amazon Prime and Tubi. Lexi, a popular vlogger known to share her life's details with her followers, had built a solid social media following. She was inspirational to a few because of her positive and happy demeanour. Her life takes a turn when she moves into her house and feels someone stalking her.

As days go by, she is seen looking for answers to strange things happening to her in her home and finding her all; Lexi can be seen becoming more frantic. Viewers are left asking some tough questions – what happened to Lexi? What made her disappear?

"We understand the horror audience. As horror movie fans ourselves we wanted to reach them where their attention is. With a well rounded digital marketing campaign including TikTok and Instagram Reels, we are overwhelmed with the response we see for Lexi," said Louie La Vella, Marketing Director for Lexi.

Some of the recent reviews from the viewers,

"A movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat; you can feel the love Victoria puts into Lexi and the crafting of the character. Strongly Recommend." 10/10

"I don't usually care for found footage films, but this one quickly deviates from the typically recorded footage and into interviews and other types of coverage that, for me, make it a lot more entertaining. I really enjoyed watching it.' 8/10

"What is Thanksgiving without corn?" exclaimed Tariq. "Thanksgiving is practically a holiday about corn. I mean, every day could be a holiday if you get to eat corn at some point - but this is the one day that we get to stay home with family, watch a big parade, and then eat corn. Lots and lots of corn. It's my favorite day of the year!"

The week-long partnership will see Corn Kid joining Green Giant® at pivotal Thanksgiving moments: creating delicious corn-filled Green Giant side dishes, donating canned Green Giant® veggies at the local food bank, and at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Beginning today through November 21, consumers can enter to win an exclusive Thanksgiving apron from the Green Giant brand by visiting greengiant.com/sweepstakes.

Two new recipes, Corn Kid's Corniest Mac 'n' Cheese and Corn Kid's Corn Casserole, developed in partnership with the Green Giant team were also released today to help infuse extra corn into traditional side dishes this Thanksgiving.

On Monday, November 21st, Corn Kid will join the Jolly Green Giant himself to provide a large-scale canned veggie donation at City Harvest, New York's first and largest food rescue organization, in his hometown of Brooklyn, NY. The donation of 90,000 cans of Green Giant® veggies, including 50,000 cans of corn, is enough for more than 270,000 of Corn Kid's fellow New Yorkers to enjoy a serving of veggies this holiday season.

This fun partnership will culminate on Thanksgiving Day, when Corn Kid will appear as a special guest on the Green Giant® Harvest in the Valley float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, to remind families across America to enjoy corn this Thanksgiving, and every day!

Franken Chicken

 

So we are clear, 'cultivated food' is meat , poultry and sea food that is grown from cells. Yes brown in a lab. The manufacturing process begins with acquiring and banking stem cells from an animal. These cells are then grown in bioreactors (Industry word Not making that up) at high densities and volumes. Similar to what happens inside an animal’s body, the cells are fed an oxygen-rich cell culture medium made up of basic nutrients such as amino acids, glucose, vitamins, and inorganic salts, and supplemented with proteins and other growth factors. 

Changes in the medium composition, often in tandem with cues from a scaffolding structure, trigger immature cells to differentiate into the skeletal muscle, fat, and connective tissues that make up meat. The differentiated cells are then harvested, prepared, and packaged into final products. This process is expected to take between 2-8 weeks, depending on what kind of meat is being cultivated.

Now we have Upside Foods. 

From the Food & Drug administration today:

• After a rigorous evaluation, UPSIDE Foods became the first company in the world to receive a "No Questions" letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for cultivated meat, poultry, or seafood
• This letter indicates that the FDA accepts UPSIDE's conclusion that its cultivated chicken is safe to eat

I can't make this up.

Thanksgiving Flavored Ice Cream

Ever heard of  Salt&Straw ? Me neither. It's a boutique ice cream store on the West Coast. I'm down for these Thanksgiving flavored ice cream. $85 bucks free shipping !! 

From Their website:

"This is our five-course Thanksgiving menu as told through ice cream. Traditional holiday staples you wait all year for—roasted turkey with crispy golden skin, warm rolls slathered in butter, silky pumpkin pie—deconstructed and churned into a collection of flavors you have to taste to believe. Gather your loved ones and join in our feast."

The Thanksgiving Menu features:

• Parker House Rolls w/ Salted Buttercream
• What's a holiday feast without warm, fluffy rolls? We carb-load by gently folding buttered rolls topped with flaky sea salt into a salted butter ice cream to double down on the savory, making this simple side the most coveted. It’s rich, it’s decadent, and it’s as classic as it gets.
• 
  
  
  
• Roasted Peach & Sage Cornbread Stuffing
•  In this classic twist on stuffing, we ditch bread cubes for molasses-y, crumbly cornbread cookies and bring that classic herbiness by steeping sweet cream with fresh sage. Dollops of tart peach jam simmered with warm spices and honey balsamic vinegar brighten it all up for a balanced, woodsy ice cream.
• 
  
  
  
  
• Caramelized Turkey & Cranberry Sauce
• The main dish has met its match. Crispy turkey bacon folded into a caramelized brittle with thyme and freshly ground cubeb pepper is swirled with a sweet and jammy housemade cranberry sauce. The tartness from the cranberry cuts through the smoky turkey bacon from our friends at Diestel Farms for the transcendent trifecta of sweet, savory, and bitter.
• 
  
  
  
  
• Mom’s Mango Pie
• This ice cream represents the diversity of Thanksgiving traditions with the help of musician Hrishikesh Hirway, and his mom. Realizing her secret recipe translated perfectly to ice cream, we didn’t change much. Mango pureé blended with tangy cream cheese and fluffy whipped cream creates a silky sweet curd reminiscent of her pie filling. Crumbles of salty graham cracker crust are layered throughout a rich, caramelized ice cream for a cultural mash-up that’ll be the standout star of your next Thanksgiving spread.
• 
  
  
  
  
• Pumpkin & Gingersnap Pie (v)
• Our secret to pumpkin spice? A heavy pinch of sea salt and allspice added to a classic blend for a warmer, more complex flavor. We spike ultra-luscious coconut cream with our special blend and Vermont maple syrup to achieve the silkiest, custardiest pumpkin pie ice cream. Bits of molasses-infused gingersnap pie crust is tossed in for a delectable crunch
