More Solar Cooking Experiments and some miscellaneous.

We're experiencing a bit of a summer redux this week, so it's too hot to bake indoors. Today's experiments include cornish game hens followed by a frozen Sara Lee Dutch Apple Pie.

Got the hens ready by 10am.



Stopped for lunch at noon (liversausage sandwich on home-made bread) with fruit. Em teased me again for taking a picture of my food.


Took the roast out at 1:30pm.


Put the pie in at 1:40pm.


It wasn't done until 5pm, having spent the good part of 2 hours just defrosting.


Everything looks really tasty and I can barely wait for our dinner hour. Shorter days are already noticeable, so I'll need to start earlier in the day to get the day's cooking done before sunset.

In the miscellaneous department, I've added a link to the sidebar for The American Chemistry Council. Not gonna keep the link permanently, but right now they're offering a quiz that we can all take where for every correct answer they'll donate water cleaning chemicals to some towns in Africa. It's like "Free Rice" in that regard, but unlike "Free Rice", they stop donating after spending something like $200,000 on this water cleanliness (and the link gets deleted).

Also in the misc dept, I'm growing particularly fond of extolling videos created by nobody in particular when I think they're well done AND agree with their message. Here's the latest:
