It's Saturday! And that means I get to cook a tasty meal to share with my folks (and Scott, who will complain about the spinach.... toddler).
Tonight's menu included stuffed pasta shells. I don't make them too often since the actual stuffing part of the prep is kind of a pain but they're a favourite of Mom & Dad and it has been a very long while since these have hit the dinner table.
Recipe for those who want to stuff shells. I don't really have a solid recipe.... this is more of a ... yeah, let's add that sort of thing for me so here's my best guess.
Ingredients:
Ricotta Cheese (1 container)
Mozzarella Cheese (maybe 1 cup in the mix, 1/2 of a cup to top)
Parmesan Cheese (maybe 1/3 of a cup)
Egg
Spinach (three handfuls...ish)
Dried Oregano (maybe 1/2 tbsp... I don't know, I just pour)
Dried Basil (maybe 1/2 tbsp... I don't know, I just pour)
Dried Parsley (maybe 1/2 tbsp... I don't know, I just pour)
Jumbo Pasta Shells (cooked, but still a bit firm)
Pasta sauce of your choice
How-to
1. Cook shells and strain, immediately rinse with cold water.
2. Heat up a frying pan and wilt the spinach. Cut in tiny pieces after cooking if you live with Scott or someone just as fickle. Tell him it's parsley (a family secret handed down by my Mother)
3. Mix dried spices, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and spinach together.
4. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray and pour some pasta sauce in to coat the bottom of the dish
5. Stuff those shells! (I use a spoon, some people have recommended a piping bag... no matter what, I make a mess and end up using my hands) and place the stuffed shells in the casserole dish.
6. Top shells with more tasty sauce and sprinkle with extra cheese.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
8. Enjoy!
The shells keep well for a couple days in the fridge, but if you're going to want to keep them around a little longer, throw those leftovers in the freezer!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

We have had a glorious summer this year in S. California. The days have been bright and sunny. Beautiful for boating and dunking in the Pacific.
I saw this Osprey earlier and took shots of him when he was perched high. It was as though he wanted to be photographed and came down to eye level. He allowed us to get quite close in our dory.

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...
i've created a new group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...

Prepping for a spacewalk typically means diving underwater to rehearse and fine-tune operations.
In 2016, ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst performed such an underwater rehearsal for the Colka high speed radio, the brown box imaged above, that will be installed this month on the International Space Station.
NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins and Victor Glover will integrate the small fridge-sized device outside the European Columbus module during a spacewalk scheduled this year. ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen will be at NASA’s mission control directing the spacewalkers as Capcom. The Columbus Ka-band terminal, nicknamed ‘Colka’, will enable faster communication with Europe.
Orbiting the planet every 90 minutes means the Space Station is constantly making and breaking short links with ground stations on Earth as it passes over them at a height of 400 km.
With Colka, a European telecommunications satellite in geostationary orbit can pick up data sent from the Columbus module. This satellite is part of the European Data Relay System and will be able to directly relay the signals from Columbus to European soil via a ground station in Harwell, in the UK.
The current data relay system routes via USA, which results in longer data transfer times. The Colka upgrade will ensure faster communications between Columbus and Europe, speeds of up to 50 Mbit/s for downlink and up to 2 Mbit/s for uplink. This will allow astronauts and researchers to benefit from a direct link with Europe at home broadband speeds – delivering a whole family’s worth of video streaming and data for science and communications.
Colka will be installed just weeks after the announcement that Europe will start building a communications module in support of the Gateway, the next spaceship to be assembled and operated in the vicinity of the Moon by International Space Station partners. The ESPRIT High-speed Lunar Communication System will be launched on NASA’s Gateway living quarters, in 2024.
As humankind ventures farther from Earth and goes forward to the Moon, a robust communications infrastructure is necessary for the lunar economy and to return knowledge and benefits to Earth. ESA is working on this with the Moonlight project, a system for lunar telecommunications and navigation to reduce design complexity, liberating missions to concentrate on their core activities.
ColKa was designed and built by British and Italian companies, using products from Belgium, Canada, France, Germany and Norway, some of which have been qualified under the ESA’s programme of Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES).
