Hello, Dwarf Planet!

 I was recently encouraged to be more aware of revolutionary NASA space endeavours (having somehow managed to miss yesterday's Pluto news), when it comes to planning salad logistics. So we are making a quick move from the predominant Euro politics to New Horizons - quite literally.

What i saw in the video on spiegel.de were

• chickpeas and a 
• scamorza. 

We will add

• pointed peppers representing a dwarf's cap, because i like the term, dwarf planet. we can add some 
• lemon (sun) for light being shed on what used just be a "grey wart". And we will add some green 
• (parsley) as a frog greeting. 

What do you say?

Most unfortunately, they decided to send a

• fennel shaped

vehicle (I don't like fennel). This is to be excused by the fact that apparently this happened 9 years ago, but not really.

Someone please encourage NASA to be more aware of our salad blog. Thank you.
