Yesterday a friend of mine drove up for a visit so I accomplished nothing: the perfect Sunday. A small group of us sat around a fire pit drinking PBR and chatting for hours and then got Chinese food (No, I am not acknowledging this in Today's Tucker). I got to sleep inside with a fan (yeay!!) and was woken up at 4am by an attention seeking black lab puppy who sat on my head. I've got an awesome half leg (and neck) sunburn that I can't wait to even out. Thanks again to Donna and Liz for hosting!
So on Saturday I promised some updates about experiments I was trying out.
#1: You may remember my quest for the perfect solar oven and how my extraction from the campus parking lot has necessitated a more incognito solution. Well I may have found it. I got a black roasting pan, much like this one, for $2 at Good Will. On Saturday morning I put a box of Rice a Roni and some water into the pot and stashed the roaster on top of my car. That thing that really hot and by about 4pm I had some nicely done (very) slow cooked rice. It's going to be in the low 90's today and I kind of with I'd thrown something on the "stove" before heading to work this morning.
