What did you do today? I made a solar oven!

I don't want to brag but today, while you were probably watching football, I made a solar oven! Let me take a moment to bask in my own glory for this oven is truly a masterpiece. Also, I might not feel so smug tomorrow when I actually try to cook in it...

In reality it was really easy. It took two cardboard boxes, foil and tape. I looked up instructions online. It took 40 minutes. It's great to do with children and supposedly you can cook pretty much anything in it as long as you have a black pot and four to six hours to spare.

The plan for tomorrow was to cook artichokes (my husband, who was watching football, said, "all this for artichokes?") but I didn't find any at the store so I'll try to cook carrots and potatoes for a soup. Keep posted.
