00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:00,720
here you get these recipes from houston

144
00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:02,880
apparently why whatever they eat

145
00:05:06,469 --> 00:05:04,479

what they request what they'd like and

148
00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:10,479
then you prepare the food for the cruise

149
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:11,360
we

150
00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:13,360
eliminate all their lives and just

151
00:05:17,189 --> 00:05:15,600
lights right whether you're allergic to

152
00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:17,199
something or you don't like to eat

153
00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:19,360
something right but on the first day

154
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:21,520
that we're here before the crew arrives

155
00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:24,000
we come in and we make cookies you make

156
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:26,560
cookies chocolate chips

157
00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:29,840
oatmeal peanut butter and so on and then

158
00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:32,320
the fresh food comes in we wash

159
00:05:36,830 --> 00:05:35,919
everything right and store everything in

160
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:36,840
the right

161
00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:39,360
temperature and just wait until the crew

162
00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:42,160
arrives and we start cooking but but

163
00:05:45,749 --> 00:05:43,759
this is important because this crew you

164
00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:45,759
can't get these people sick right before

165
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:47,520
they go into space and so we come to

166
00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:50,080
quarantine so we don't get sick and one

167
00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:52,080
way you can get sick even if you

168
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:54,400
wash your hands a lot is by what you eat

169
00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:55,840
right so you're under the gun to make

170
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:57,520
sure you don't get anyone sick before

171
00:06:01,350 --> 00:05:59,600
right this is you gotta i mean it's

172
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:01,360
right it's a pretty sterile environment

173
00:06:04,469 --> 00:06:02,639
very similar but you also have to be

174
00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:04,479
very conscientious to make sure that

175
00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:05,440
nothing

176
00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:08,000
bad enters the food system here yeah so

177
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:10,080
the fruit and the vegetables when they

178
00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:12,960
arrive into the kitchen we usually wash

179
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:15,199
them in plain water and then dip them in

180
00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:17,280
water that's got a little bit of fork so

181
00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:19,039
we can kill oh i didn't know that

182
00:06:22,070 --> 00:06:20,800
is that that's all right though yeah we

183
00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:22,080
don't even know this yeah yeah we don't

184
00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:23,840
taste it we have to kill everything all

185
00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:24,960
right okay and

186
00:06:28,629 --> 00:06:27,360
bottles and candy and everything

187
00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:28,639
they get white

188
00:06:33,029 --> 00:06:30,560
i never knew that oh yeah

189
00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:33,039
do you ladies do that yes yeah wow so

190
00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:34,160
you right so you make sure everything's

191
00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:36,400
good i always say when

192
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,080
somebody will say are you tired or

193
00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:40,240
whatever and i always i always do this

194
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:41,919
comparison

195
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,800
when a ma when a woman has a baby

196
00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:46,479
goes through all the pain and then you

197
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:49,120
turn around and say i want another one

198
00:06:53,189 --> 00:06:50,800
this is the way i feel about a launch

199
00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:53,199
even though we work very hard long hours

200
00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:55,599
and we're tired but once you guys are

201
00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:56,639
gone

202
00:07:01,110 --> 00:06:58,639
we're ready for the next one

203
00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:01,120
and that's what i like about it

204
00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:03,599
that's a very perfect good metaphor

205
00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:04,479
perfect

206
00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:07,039
that's the comparison i always yeah

207
00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:08,960
that's perfect so you make our

208
00:07:12,309 --> 00:07:10,960
sandwiches that we put in our pocket

209
00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:12,319
more or less

210
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:13,680
and you and that's what you eat when you

211
00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:16,240
go to space your first meal what is the

212
00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:17,919
most popular uh

213
00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:20,160
carry-on sandwich that crew peanut

214
00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:21,440
butter and jelly that's exactly what i

215
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:23,360
had so you make the peanut butter and

216
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:25,440
jelly that goes into space is what you

217
00:07:28,629 --> 00:07:27,280
make oh really whatever they ask

218
00:07:30,230 --> 00:07:28,639
whatever they want they want a turkey

219
00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:30,240
sandwich

220
00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:32,000
or peanut butter or whatever right

221
00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:33,840
whatever whatever we want and you pack

222
00:07:37,350 --> 00:07:35,280
those things very nicely for us usually

223
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:37,360
with a drink too we get a drink bag you

224
00:07:41,029 --> 00:07:38,720
get something to drink and that's the

225
00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:41,039
first meal yet when you get to space the

226
00:07:43,749 --> 00:07:42,400
first thing you eat is that's what

227
00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:43,759
you're gonna have that sandwich has made

228
00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:45,840
