Joy loves trying out new projects and experiments.
Today she decided to make a solar oven out of a pizza box (Hail, Caesar).
Once she was done constructing her oven, she invited us all to test drive it by making s'mores . . .
. . . in the backyard. There were just three problems.
First of all, it's hard to cook in a solar oven when you have limited sunshine. Second, the breeze kept blowing the lid closed. Third, our backyard has a thriving ant population which started showing a lot of interest in our s'mores.
The spotty sunlight had been enough to melt the chocolate, but the marshmallows weren't even close to being done so we brought them inside and toasted them under the broiler in our ant-free oven.
Mmm . . . yummy, sticky, semi-solar goodness.
