New life on a new planet

A super billionaires space company has made a colonization spacecraft in earth orbit.

You are given the opportunity to be on the first human crewed ship to a Earth similar habitable planet in the Alpha Centari system. This is done at ZERO COST TO YOU. You have 1 year to prepare your mind, body and things you want bring to fit in your locker for the 4 year journey.

The colonization company provides you with $250k credit card to buy anything you want to fit in your private locker aboard the ship. All items purchased will be delivered to colonization warehouse to be lifted into orbit.

The colonization company will not be dictating what type of government will be on the planet or provide you with manufacturing modules. You are on your own till the next ship comes in 3 years time.

This ship gives you a 500 sq ft room to live in, 500 sq ft storage compartment for personal items. Bathrooms are centrally located but private stalls. Food is in a central kitchen and it's all frozen, freeze dried, powder or canned / pasteurized (no vegan/vegetarian options) or dried (beans etc ) entertainment is vast with a quadrillion gigabyte server which has most of earths history, entertainment and libraries uploaded to it.

This ship will carry 360 colonists of all walks of life.

When you get to this new planet your habitation & storage unit will be deorbited onto the planet. Central stores of whatever is left in the kitchens warehouse will drop onto the planet too. This is about a years worth of food.

Your sole jobs on the colony ship is to clean up after yourselves and download onto a 100 gigabyte hard drive all the information you want for the new life on the new planet. This is a solar powered drive that will hook up to a laptop or tablet. You also must select a landing place for the new colony with information a probe obtained from a year observing the planet using infrared, visual and laser instrumentation. No aliens civilization is present but it does have fauna.

Governments all agree that once you leave earth you're no longer a citizen of earth and all obligations on earth are null and void. The reason for this is it's a ONE WAY TRIP.

Once the ship unloads all the modules to the new planet it will dip into a Jupiter type gas giant, scoop up fuel and head back to Earth. This ship will have ZERO crew or quarters. Basically a engine room, a long spine and a cockpit with no facilities. It also will accelerate back at a crushing 3gs.

No animals, pets or loved ones can go with.

Do you go and what do you bring with ?

My Simple 9 ingredient Italian Meatballs

So last night my kids wiped out my stock of Italian meatballs (6 pounds) and they said it was the best I've ever cooked. So with their endorsement I'll share it here.

1 - pound 80/20 ground beef

1 - pound ground veal

1 - pound ground pork

Italian seasoning

Garlic powder

Italian bread crumbs

All cheese shredded

Parmesan

Provolone

Mozzarella

Turn oven on to 400 degrees

Mix meats and to your tastes seasoning, powder and bread crumbs. I do this combo till the meatballs look drier and everything smells good. Let it rest for 5 minutes or so ( I clean the kitchen ,,) then 1/2 bag of all 3 cheese mixed in with meat.

Break out a baking pan and spray with olive oil lightly. I use one that 13 x 24 or something close to that.

Form meatballs to the size of your thumb touching your index finger. At this point the balls should be holding shape, if not add more of the seasoning, powder and crumbs. Place on tray about a inch apart and put in oven.

Wait till the meatballs are just turning brown 🟤 then take out of oven. They should be well formed and done in center.

Get your sauce going and place meatballs into sauce so it's over the top of them. Cook for 20-30 minutes.

Serve and eat.

No eggs needed the cheese and bread crumbs take care of the binding.

Bon Appetit
