#solarcooking — again, brownies. I’m having to adjust the process as the season progresses; the sun is too high, and there is not enough light on my balcony. So… out onto the sidewalk! Just gotta babysit it then, lest stray dogs cats or people mess with it […] [Original post on norcal.social]

Next experiment in #solarcooking is brownies. 2/3 scale recipe, because I wasn’t sure if it would all fit into the oven, and it baked for about 1.5 hours instead of 30 minutes; other than that, no changes to the recipe. They have to cool a bit, but they look and smell pretty good 😋
