Our block of meetings begins at 10:30 am this new year. We'll also have to get out of the chapel quickly afterwards - but that's okay, that will get you to my Gospel Doctrine class quicker!

Cooking without Electricity - Sun Oven
So, my husband decided to give the sun oven a whirl with the chocolate chip cookie dough from the freezer.
8:30 set out the sun oven to preheat. 56° degrees outside
9:40 oven 315°. We put in the cookie dough. Remember, it was from the freezer so it was cold.
9:50 oven 320° and he made some slight adjustments to better channel the sun. He's an engineer so he got a wooden block and put it under the back to angle it towards the sun a little more precisely.
10:10 the cookies were done. Perhaps a little too done, they were crispy. (The normal cooking time for this recipe is 12 minutes at 350°, these were cooked for 30 minutes, so it doesn't really take much longer in the sun oven.)
10:15 oven 330° second batch of cookies put in.
10:30 340°, the oven was adjusted slightly
10:40 time got a way from hm.(Remember, he's an engineer). He meant to take them out sooner this time, but they ended up cooking until they were crispy again.
Good to know all of that chocolate chip cookie dough in the freezer won't go to waste after the next hurricane!
