My youngest boy would be overjoyed - he really likes tortilla bread for sandwiches.<BR/><BR/>Listening to your conversation today I had a further thought - they don't cook aboard ISS because they don't have the time.<BR/><BR/>With a crew of three and a full slate of experiments, PR and maintenance it's simply more cost effective to ship them food mostly prepared ahead of time. If they took turns cooking that's 1/3 of their manpower devoted to just fixing food for several hours a day.<BR/><BR/>I am convinced that someday tens of thousands .. then millions .. of people will live off planet. They'll raise food locally, have good restaurants (and poor ones). Back here on Earth we'll have specialty places that serve food 'Lunar style'.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait.Brian Dunbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952894032434503816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29819996.post-3953105889297764942007-11-30T15:38:00.000-08:002007-11-30T15:38:00.000-08:00yes, that was me, back in 1987 or 88, I believe. E...yes, that was me, back in 1987 or 88, I believe. Emma Pitcher was there as well--the lady who writes so beautifully about saving the Lake Michigan dunes..<BR/>XM Radio--they have something like 200 channels and you can pick them up all over the country via satellite.

I wish I had thought to use it on the air. Keep them coming! Next time I will. <BR/><BR/>And Sharon, if I'm not mistaken, I think we once shared smoked fish at The Clearing. Thanks so much for such a hearty endorsement, but what is XM?Here On Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598550723199590754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29819996.post-43430612639524244002007-11-27T08:49:00.000-08:002007-11-27T08:49:00.000-08:00Jean, there is no doubt you are a "contendah!"

God forbid.</I><BR/><BR/>Hey! I like Tang. Well, I liked it when I was younger, probably because it was the drink the astronauts used.<BR/><BR/>When we move into space in a big way we can expect that the food is going to improve as well - as it should when you get your food locally and don't have it shipped up from earth.Brian Dunbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952894032434503816noreply@blogger.com
