dashboard cuisine

Ahhh, sweet, cool breezes…finally, the heat has broken and today’s high of 85 seems so reasonable after what we’ve been through for the last few days. Though cooler temperatures probably averted a trip to the loony bin for some of us, I did grab my opportunity yesterday while it was still scorching to bake some cookies in my car. Yeah, you heard me; I baked cookies in my car!

This heat has done weird things to my brain. It actually sounds like a good idea to use this string of dripping, sweaty, oppressive, knock-you-over, sweltering days to cook food in the hottest place I can find - the inside of my car. After today’s experiment it’s pretty obvious that, even though I won’t be turning it on for the next few days, I also won’t be giving up my oven anytime soon.
