Solar

Salaam (Peace), As we attempt to live a more sustainable lifestyle (and be somewhat prepared for a natural disaster) we have taken up solar cooking. Faith is becoming famous for her chunky applesauce.
I didn't think to grab the camera until she was done prepping and ready to put in solar oven. Nonetheless, here is the part I was able to capture. This took place in Oakland, Ca. We started at 10am. I do not recall the exact temperature but the high for the day was 66 degrees.

Once Wood Stained Table now blue because Faith and The Boy got enough primer (from another project) on it for me to coat the entire table. Gotta love them.

Thermometer in the solar oven after it is set up. Temperature 0 degress

"Mommy, it smells sooooo good."

Yep, It's ready!

I should have captured a picture of them and their friends eating. Maybe next time.
