Aminoacid found in comet reinforces the theory of extraterrestrial life

It has been proven the existence of the aminoacid glycine in the samples of the Wild-2 comet, collected by the spacecraft StarDust. This aminoacid is used by livings to produce proteins that have important functions in their bodies, from the structure of the hair to the production of enzymes.

Part of the elements to make life exist is formed in space and arrives on planets when comets fall on them. The impact zone would get warm, which is necessary to keep microorganisms alive.


Therefore, that means we might be partially aliens.

Let´s cook!

Our first post is about a typical Greek dish. We chose it because it is practical to cook and really mouthwatering. Although its Greek origin, this dish is reminiscent of Italian food because the south of Italy is located near Greece, thus it causes similarity of many dishes.
In many regions of Greece, pastitsio is called macaronia tou fournou. Pastitsio takes its name from the Italian pasticcio, also known as lasagna al forno in some regions of Italy.
You should prepare this recipe because it is really tasty.
