Birdseye View

In 1925 his General Seafood Corporation moved to Gloucester, Massachusetts. There it employed Birdseye's newest invention, the double belt freezer, in which cold brine chilled a pair of stainless steel belts carrying packaged fish, freezing the fish quickly. His invention was subsequently issued as US Patent #1,773,079, marking the beginning of today's frozen foods industry. Birdseye took out patents on other machinery, which cooled even more quickly, so that only small ice crystals could form and cell membranes were not damaged. In 1927 he began to extend the process beyond fish to quick-freezing of meat, poultry, fruit, and vegetables.

In 1929, Birdseye sold his company and patents for $22 million to Goldman Sachs and the Postum Company, which eventually became General Foods Corporation, and which founded the Birds Eye Frozen Food Company.

 Birdseye continued to work with the company, further developing frozen food technology. In 1930 the company began sales experiments in 18 retail stores around Springfield, Massachusetts, to test consumer acceptance of quick-frozen foods. The initial product line featured 26 items, including 18 cuts of frozen meat, spinach and peas, a variety of fruits and berries, blue point oysters, and fish fillets. Consumers liked the new products and today this is considered the birth of retail frozen foods. The "Birds Eye" name remains a leading frozen-food brand. [source: wikipedia]

The Food Holidays of January 2013

2013 looks to be “that year” for many people. The time has come for the public to take back their lives and return to what the true meaning of life is all about, helping those that are in need. 2012 saw many just as many tragedies as it did triumphs. The cold fact that people need to support each other and have each other’s backs, rings true now more than ever. Diet trends may come and go, but eating healthy should always be a high priority for us all. 

We want to thank everyone who graced us with a visit to the site, whether it be for a recipe or to point at laugh at the foolishness that is taking place over here, we appreciate your love. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions from our readers as well who let us know in 2012, they want even more recipes, more reviews and even more ideas on how to make the most out of a vacation even when the budget doesn’t want you to try.

Light & Easy, Lobster Po' Boy Sandwich

The taste of fresh seafood awakens my senses, almost to the point that I can never really get enough of it. Of course I won’t sit here and say I am the biggest seafood eating monster on the planet, because there are still a few things that I just wont or cant bring myself to consume (at least not without a bunch of strong drinks.) But Lobster, the lovable little non huggable creatures they are, well to me they can do no wrong. From serving them broiled with lemon and drawn butter to frying them up for a po’ boy sandwich it can be said, these babies are versatile.

Enough with the talking though and let us get down to the nitty gritty. Today we are showing you how to make a delicious Lobster Po’ Boy w/o frying it, so you don’t have to feel guilty or clean up an extra mess. 

Get to cooking those lobsters so you can enjoy these sandwiches ASAP.
