  • Reposting one of my top lemmy comments:

    NASA is a very safety conscious organization. So they want to overestimate everything and include way more than they need. So when she said a couple per day you can round that to 5 for safety, then considering it’s a 6 day mission they want to include triple the amount of needed supplies which means 18 days worth. 18*5=90 which is pretty close to 100 so let’s round up again. Plus tampons are a useful first aid tool, especially in zero gravity. You shove some into an open wound and it’ll prevent blood from spilling all over the very sensitive equipment. Does a woman need 100 tampons for 6 days? Of course not, but she wasn’t going to spend a week in the mountains, she was going to space, so the safety precautions were much more stringent



  • I’m at a little bit of a loss if you want something easy, but also high quality. You can always go to the butcher counter or butcher shop and get their italian sausage, it usually has less fillers and preservatives than the mass market tube stuff. You can go vegetarian and fry up some tofu cubes in olive oil, oregono, parsley, thyme, garlic and maybe a little panko for a crunch. You could also do some large mushroom like a portebella and score it. Then more olive oil and salt. You might be able to find decent quality frozen meatballs in the freezer section or at a local farmers market. I suppose seafood wise shrimp or clams could work too here





  • I find it interesting you think MSG was the problem here. By all accounts this should be a really great MSG dish. Are you sure it wasn’t the apple cider vinegar? It seems oddly sweet while also maybe interacting poorly with the mayo

    Was the texture noticeably different to just using a hand blender on low and mixing ingredient+yolk? I’ve never had an issue with lumpy deviled eggs which is what I assume the sieve was intended to do
