Yeah, just use the low-level caching framework.
from django.core.cache import cache
def get_common_thing():
cache_key = 'common_thing'
t = cache.get(cache_key)
if not t:
qs = YourModel.objects.filter(whatever =
something).select_related()[:20]
cache.set(cache_key, list(qs),
settings.CACHE_TIME_COMMON_THING)
return t
