Houston, we have a problem!

Remember when you were a kid, there would either be Disney movies or cartoon which revolved around the story of astronauts inside their space shuttles. I found it really amusing when the astronauts would eat their food and how their burger and water looked exactly how it would have if you would eat it here on earth. The only difference was that they would all float seperately and the astronauts would just take a bite while the food was afloat.

Of course, that's not how it really happens with food in space.

When Ranscee came back from the States, he brought home for us astronuat food which he bought in the Smithsonian museum. The packaged goodies looked exactly like how they would look when in space...which was...dehydrated. So among the goodies that we got we're two different flavors of ice cream sandwiches.


A Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla bar



and Cookies and cream





The Packets
clearly stating that their freeze-dried hahahahhaa!


Although they tasted pretty good, it just feels a bit weird eating ice cream that's not cold hahahahahaha! The flavors of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry were very prominent and tasteful, but the texture was very dry and course. It definitely took a while getting used to. That definitely was a different kind of experience. A very interesting one I might add..
