Synopsis: Ever wanted to know what the astronauts eat when they're in space? Now, you can do better than that! You can actually make what they eat in your own kitchen! And while you're waiting for your delicious (hah!) space food to cook, you can read about the history of the space program, space food preparation methods, and even get to know many of the astronauts that have dined in space. Did they find the food appetizing? What did they miss most when they were in space? How has NASA try to improve the food over the years? Charles Bourland is a retired long-time director of the NASA space food program, and Gregory Vogt, also a former NASA education specialist, helped train the astronauts. Both veterans of the U.S. space program have combined here to provide authentic recipes not only of foods that were actually served during various space missions (including Skylab, Apollo, the space shuttle, and the International Space Station) but also some of the astronauts' favorite recipes and even space recipes from famous TV chefs Rachael Ray and Emeril Lagasse! You will be amused and amazed at the information you find here. And you will be ready to impress your friends and family with your new culinary skills. Finally, you will have a much better understanding of what it really is to live in space, for weeks or even months at a time. Any volunteers for a trip to Mars? If you are a food lover, maybe not after you read this book and serve up some of its culinary treat. --

A New Way to Garden in Less Space with Less Work <h3>What is square foot gardening?</h3> It's a new system of laying out, planting, and maintaining a productive, attractive garden in any amount of space. The garden is based on a grid of 1-foot by 1-foot squares, with single seeds or plants placed in carefully determined spacings. Climbing and sprawling crops like cucumbers, pole beans, squash, and tomatoes are grown vertically to save space. The square foot system lets you make the most of your garden space to conserve the amounts of water, soil conditioners, and labor needed to produce a maximum amount of food in that space. A square foot garden takes only one-fifth the space and work of a conventional single-row garden to produce the same harvest and is easy to maintain so the garden stays neat, weedless, and uncluttered all season. <h3>Does it really work?</h3> Here's how much you can grow in two months in just one garden block (a 4-foot by 4-foot area): 32 carrots 12 bunches of leaf lettuce 18 bunches of spinach 16 radishes 16 scallions 16 beets 9 Japanese turnips 5 pounds of peas 1 head of cabbage 4 heads of romaine lettuce 1 head of cauliflower 1 head of broccoli <h3>Who can use the square foot method?</h3> Beginning gardeners; suburban gardeners with small lots; homesteaders and large-scale gardeners who want to save space, time, and work; older folks who need to streamline their gardening activities; and busy people of all ages who don't have much time to spend on gardening chores.
