You shouldn't assume that you're outside the law just because you're in space. There is such a thing as space law, and virtually every major country in the world has signed up to it. The original signatories were the United States, the United Kingdom and Russia, back in 1967. As of right now, there are 107 sovereign states who have agreed to be bound by its rules.
Kept deliberately basic and designed to be a foundation set of rules which can be expanded upon by our space-faring descendants, it specifically bans the placing of weapons of mass destruction either in Earth orbit, on the Moon, or otherwise stationed in outer space. It also states that the Moon and other celestial bodies should only be used for peaceful purposes, and that that the testing of weapons on them is expressly prohibited. Going further, it states the intention that the exploration of space should be pursued peacefully and for the benefit of all States and all humankind - a noble sentiment if ever we heard one.
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
