Bue Apron vs Hello Fresh

Are we lazy? No? Do we work a lot? maybe, maybe not. But eventually, we've seen these "do it yourself" dinners pop up out of no where.

    First it was:

Hello Fresh- starting out with meal ideas for families that are busy and can't cook after work. For me, I usually am in differ with these, however, I don't mind trying a meal or two. 

    

   The starting trend of food deliveries starting a long time ago and not just with pizza deliveries. Now almost complete meals are in the palm of your hand with a click of a mouse button, or even your phone.

  I feel Hello Fresh might be the upgrade to another pop up dinner called

   Blue Apron- Which started out in 2012, and could have been the first one to start the craze of dinners in a box concept. You purchased the food on line and get it either in a few days or in a week,.

  Pre-prepared meals served do you with in a few days. You cook the proteins, but they also give you a recipe and steps on preparing them. They even give you vegetables as well.

There are other companies doing what both Hello Fresh and Blue Apron are doing. Like: Chef'd, Purple Carrot and even Veestro, which prepares meals right at your doorstep so the preparing is already done. It's as if they were a pizza delivery service, but a healthy alternative.

Pizza deliveries is like the fast food versions of Blue Apron and Hello Fresh, Chinese take out as well. Pizza Delivery started around the time Dominos went into business.

Yeah I know I talked about Pizza before but, this is more what got other companies to make their own delivery markets. Even some pizzerias are getting the ideas of a make it yourself delivery, and I don't mean frozen pizza.

They would deliver the pizza shell, sauce and even cheese with toppings at your doorstep. Interesting but, you can also shop for these things.

I wonder what would happen if someone didn't know that their Blue Apron or Hello Fresh boxes were at their doorstep, wouldn't animals surround it and devour the food inside?

   With this new technology like GrubHub, which brings the food to you by your phone, it could get pizza delivery guys losing their jobs. Even small pizzerias are starting to go out of business because of these pop up make yourself foods in a box.

Are we starting to get too comfortable with food delivered over the internet?

  Maybe, but some people are thinking of grocery shopping could go extinct by 2028. Ten years from now!  

   If it's true and we rely on internet deliveries like: GrubHub, Uber Eats and even food deliveries in a box, maybe we are lazy, or just want food coming to our doorsteps. Even some grocery stores are doing delivery services for people that are injured and can't get to the store, or even they delivery to the elderly and people who don't drive.

  I can tell deliveries are going hi-tech, and it all starts with a click of a mouse button.

Be aware people, it's only the beginning before the internet feeds you food through a tube.

Till then, enjoy what you devour, even if it came from the internet, or a box of food ready for you to prepare and eat. 

 If I had to choose between Hello Fresh and Blue Apron, they both are equally great competitors, and it is up to the consumer to choose the real winner. Ciao Bloggers!

What's with Taco Bell?

First off, we know what Taco Bell is. A Mexican fast food restaurant started by Glenn Bell in early 1952. They were getting sick of burger fast food chains and he wanted to do something bold.

   He's no longer with us, but if he saw what they are doing now, he'd be rolling over in his graves so many times he'd be hitting China.

Tacos were famous at the Taco Bell, but it seemed they've been getting more veracity over the years with not only tacos but, fries????

Let me get this straight, over the years they have done stupid things for fast food chains, but I've never heard of fries at Taco Bell. 

They used to have a taco pizza in the 90's but that didn't last, they even used a Chihuahua to promote their tacos, burritos and other things they sold. He would always come up to someone eating a Taco Bell taco and he would say, "¡Yo quiero Taco Belll"

Which was Española for I want Taco Bell. The man who voiced that Chihuahua, hated doing the voice. He always had people coming up to him and screaming for him to do that voice.

  Now, they added fries? I mean I understand with the Taco Pizza, but these fries are flavored with some sort of Nacho cheese, and it seems to be enticing everyone to buy it. I, on the other hand, think Taco bell is gross. 

I prefer something that won't go through my system so quick, or having tacos unless I make them. A lot of people think with Taco Bell, being the odd dog out, they're trying to become what they didn't want to be back in the 70's. 

They've changed their slogan a lot, using people eating tacos, to a Chihuahua and now, going dark. What I mean by that is selling to night owls, tweens and the millennials. 

For me, I never cared for Taco Bell, and now adding Nacho flavored fries, doesn't seem to be a fast food that just sells Tacos anymore. If it makes the consumer happy, that's what matters to them, along with other fast food establishments.

Tacos became popular mostly in the west coast, and parts of California embellishments are mostly Mexican food. For me, and other people, I don't know if I consider Taco Bell true Mexican Food. Those commercials I remember when I was little would always be in my mind, but the sad truth was, I never ate at Taco Bell. I was never a big fan of Mexican food, unless it's a Turkey taco. Adding Fries, does not mean Taco Bell is still a fast food Taco Stand. 

Glenn Bell was trying to do something different, trying not become one of the burger chains, and seeing this...What is with Taco Bell now? 

  If you like Taco Bell, that's good, for me, I'll stick to pizzas (and I don't mean Dominos and Pizza Hut) If it's not real food, then to me, it's not edible.

Ciao Bloggers, enjoy your Tacos

Stephen Hawking

  Just found out about the death of Stephen Hawking. Some people don't know who he was, but he was intelligent.

"Theory of Everything" was a movie that started Eddie Redmayne as Hawking, going though his life when he ended up getting ALS. That didn't stop him at all from being both a genius and a romantic lover.
  Stricken at the age of almost thirty, he ended up in a wheelchair forever, as well as not being able to talk unless it's with a computer voice in the box. Although, his love life gave him three children and a wife named Jane.

Studying in the university of Cambridge, he studied the theory of Black Holes with a professor named Dennis Scimana. He has written many books about the Universe and how it started with a Big Bang and could end with a black hole, years to come.
He has studied on the theory for so long, he even was a guest speaker at many colleges, wrote so many books and also guest starred in many tv shows. Especially The Simpsons and even Big Bang Theory.

With Big Bang Theory, he would guest star as himself, being Sheldon's biggest fan, and wanting to see him.
 He guest starred in a few episodes.
Everyone loved him, even people that don't read his books, he considered a celebrity in their eyes.

For me, I loved him, although I never read any of his books, but have seen him in TV show appearances and the movie, "The Theory of Everything" I thought it was a great movie about his life and how it almost ended with ALS, which never stopped him.

He was a believer in the universe, big bang theory and also black holes. We can believe his theories, or not, but we will always remember Stephen Hawking. We will miss him, and  he lived a wonderful life as a genius. GOODBYE STEPEHN HAWKING, You're one with the universe now.
