Greetings, Terrans. Today, I attempted to prepare a traditional Vietnamese dish called 'pho' as a tribute to my parents' heritage. While the aroma reminded me of my mother’s cooking, the result was... less than ideal. The broth lacked depth, and the noodles were suspiciously sticky. Martian hydroponics simply cannot replicate Earth’s fresh herbs. Still, the process brought me closer to memories of my family. If any of you possess culinary wisdom, I would be grateful for guidance. Also—does anyone know why Earth onions make my eyes water more than a Martian dust storm?
