"Dreams"



Far, far out into space, astronaunts dream of the time when they can return home, hungry for peanut butter, banana and pickle sandwiches, McDonald's shakes and homemade chocolate chip cookies. Freeze dried "copies" of these foods don't come close to the great taste of these earthly favorites! For a close up click here.

Thank YOU for these awesome comments. You made my day! I remember when I was on vacation for two weeks in Jamaica many years ago, I had this intense craving for pizza and tuna fish from a can. The great thing was, there were other Americans were with us who had thought to bring tuna and a can opener...I was thrilled! We ate toasted tuna sandwiches in an area where even beef was scarce. I cannot imagine how astronauts can go so long with these "necessities".

Great idea and perfectly drawn. Don't they get PBJ in those little survival packs of dried food :)

Again, many thanks to all who have left such great comments I am blushing a bit I think.

Kim, I don't know if they make PBJ's in those little packets but I know that would be my first request as an astronaunt going into space!

Jules, I created the complete illustration in Illustrator, no Photoshop used at all.

Anon, what is a bushwalker?

Paula, many thanks!

Can you imagine trying to eat peas or M & M 's in space? How about popcorn?
