Dylan was home sick about a week before his birthday, but he wasn’t soooo sick that we couldn’t get outside to get some sunshine (as a general rule, I try to get them out for even a few minutes of fresh air when they’re sick)…and, while we were out there, build the pizza box solar oven we’d talked about so many times!
It wasn’t the hottest day of the week (maybe hit a high of 70F), so we think we could probably get better results next time but, obviously, he enjoyed it enough to want to do it again…!
For our first attempt, we tried s’mores. Sure, it got hot enough to melt the chocolate, but we both decided the marshmallow could have been more done!
Also, it took quite a while (we waited 20 minutes). I think 20 minutes in hotter sun might yield better results–and, if Cameron is with us, we’ll also probably try a “cheese” pizza for her (vegan cheese on an english muffin or something). In any case, for sure, you’ll hear about it here.
