Cooking show in space

They say your sense of taste diminishes with altitude, but that hasn’t stopped astronauts onboard the International Space Station getting creative with their food.
         
“I would like to show one of my favourite meals up here, which is a chicken turmeric with champignon mushrooms, brown rice, and peas…” 
        
Samantha Cristoforetti of the European Space Agency recorded her own cookery show onboard the ISS, making a meal that’s literally out of this world.
        
“I’m going to start -by spreading some peas cream. I have already heated the food pouches, with the ingredients, in the food warmer. This is one of the most important tools up here in space when it comes to the kitchen, a scissor to open the food pouch. OK, next, I will add the brown rice. Next, I will add some champignon mushrooms. And finally, my chicken with turmeric. There we go! It’s not too bad considering that we are in weightlessness. Mm!”
         
Finally, a space experiment you can try at home!

Summer Solstice
           
June 21st (or 22nd) is the summer solstice for the northern hemisphere*. Solstice in Latin means "sun standing still." On that day it seems like the sun is standing still because there is more daylight than on any other day. It is the first day of summer and a special day for many groups of people. Many ancient cultures had many kinds of ceremonies on solstice.
            
They celebrated light and fire. Many people also thought it was a time for love and growth. Nowadays many places around the world have parades or parties. The great English writer, William Shakespeare, said whatever you dream on this night will come to pass. So, have great dreams on June 21! And if you are in the northern hemisphere, enjoy the longest day of the year.

* Summer solstice is on December 21 (or 22nd) in the southern hemisphere. June 21 (or 22nd) is the southern hemisphere's Winter solstice.
** in his play A Midsummer's Night Dream

Glossary:

solstice – the 2 times of the year when the sun is at its greatest distance from the earth's equator.
Equator – the imaginary (not real) line that divides the earth into 2 parts.
hemisphere – hemi means to divide into two, sphere means a round object like the earth. Hemisphere means one half of the circle. The northern hemisphere means above the equator or (middle) of the earth.
ancient – very old
come to pass – happen
