Easter dinner: Roasted leg of lamb, minted pea puree, sauteed radish and mushroom, lemon asparagus, topped with gremolata. Mrs Nihon swears she hates peas, but she loved these.

I know I watched all the Apollo missions as a kid, but I was too young to remember much of them. Even so, I've been intrigued by space ever since and for a lot of my formative years I wanted to be an astronaut. My wife and I were making plans to attend the Feb launch before it was cancelled...

I'm happy to say that my project flew the coup this weekend!

I also think this is a good idea. To prevent abuse, perhaps we should consider increasing the membership time and/or activity level in order to sell. Of course, if you set the threshold of 6 months and 100 posts for example, someone could created an account and be dormant for 6 months, then...
