Yes, I know. I’ve been spacing out on you guys lately, but believe it or not, I’ve been sick yet again! However, that doesn’t mean I’m totally out to space when it comes to foodie news. And speaking of space, along with fixing the International Space Station up, NASA astronauts have also been sampling some major muchies in orbit. From Space.com:
Tucked away among the 750 pounds (340 kilograms) of cargo in Atlantis’ middeck lockers are some fresh fruit and vegetables, but no gourmet meals akin to those designed by celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse and launched to the ISS aboard Discovery in July, NASA spokesperson William Jeffs told SPACE.com.
According to the article, part of the menu included ” mashed potatoes with bacon, green beans and garlic, rice pudding, mixed fruit and spicy Mardi Gras jambalaya, the latter of which scored high marks with the Expedition 13 crew.”
