Martha Stewart Picks Space Pal's Menu

POSTED: 1:11 pm EDT April 6, 2007

BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan -- Martha Stewart has trekked from her chic surroundings to the bleak steppes of Kazakhstan to watch a friend blast into space.

Stewart is a longtime friend of billionaire Charles Simonyi, who has paid up to $25 million for a lift on a Soyuz rocket to the space station. He takes off Saturday with two Russian cosmonauts for a 13-day adventure.

Simonyi is a software engineer and developer of Microsoft Word. He's been friends with Stewart for about ten years. She packed a treat for the crew -- a celebratory menu for April 12, which Russia observes as Cosmonauts' Day. It includes quail, duck breast, rice pudding with candied fruit and semolina cake with dried apricots.

I hope he gets up there and the only thing he finds are annoying little talking paperclips.

Decorative baskets woven from alternating strands of orange, green, and whole wheat linguine, trimmed with 'bow tie' pasta in festive colors, and decorated with both ribbons and balloons.
