...world's wealthiest nations on the strength of its North Sea oil reserves, it was a tough and hardy place, with a population relying on cured and salted foods in order to survive the long winters. Indeed, food preservation defined the national cooking style, and Valle was brought aboard by Pingvinen's owners to resurrect some of the techniques learned from her childhood on a local farm. With its exposed brick walls and vintage furnishings, Pingvinen is an appropriately domestic setting for Valle's homemade classics. Think hearty, comforting dishes like salted-lamb stew, or salted dried lamb ribs, washed...
...intent on rocketing right off the launchpad. But Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo flies in lazy circles up to 50,000 ft.--spy-plane territory--attached to a huge turbojet launch plane. Then SpaceShipTwo drops away and rockets off into space at 3,500 m.p.h. on its laughing-gas engine.

...each other with multicolored space auras. Of course, Murphy is triumphant in this lunar turf battle and even proves to be compassionate when he and his crew save the red-coat rogue from certain death by welcoming him into their ship. A kick-dance celebration among new friends ensues aboard the ship to the insightful lyrics, “We are North American scum / We are North Americans.” Their celebration is short-lived, though; a “critical failure” occurs and an aberrational gravitational field pulls the band into a psychedelically animated warp zone...
