Thanks Gordon,

My PLAN was to have something Ready to cook food in winter.
When snow knocks out my power.

Or the next time some nut straddles a telephone pole with his car. 3 Times in the past year. No electric for a week.

But.

After some Testing at my back door.

I am now cooking food while I split wood.

And just started taking the SOLAR OVEN to Restaurants.

You should SEE the waitress face when I Pull out the round tube and Explain I cooked some food in my NEW Solar oven to Go along with my meal.

Heh heh heh.

Raise my food Prices will you.

OK.

I start Bringing my food.

(EDITORS NOTE - as long as you lotto ticket tip the waiters and the cooks they don't care if you only order a cup of soup.)

Thanks,
Glenn

Hey Glenn...

This might start to sound like an infomercial, but when you mentioned your solar oven... Are you taking about the small cylinder unit that weighs about 2 pounds?

The only place I have seen it was on Dave Hodges' "The Common Sense Show."

Much bigger units can bake bread, cook big slabs of meat. I think the smaller unit is just big enough for noodles or rice.

I gotta hand it to you Glenn, you have more fun in restaurants than anyone I've ever seen !

Thanks Millard,

Yeah I DO have fun In restaurants.

But it seems there is a PRICE to be paid.

As the following Story Illustrates.

Glenn,

Hoo Boy...

You have more excitement than an American Ninja Warriors competition !

Your stories and adventures make coming to SOWPub an extra special treat.

I appreciate you taking the time to share, comment, and advise within the context of your never boring life experiences. You make just sitting down for a meal at a restaurant a stimulating destination or a ride for that matter.

Thanks, Glenn !

Glenn, aka, the Muffin Man,

Have you cooked up any specialty muffins, even in the flat saucer state, a pancake? Not that you (or I) have the time, but a recipe and cookbook for your solar oven would be a fun project, whilst chopping wood, video the oven in action.

Some time action video, and PRESTO, another sweet project.

Just some food for thought.

Gordon
