It's Halloween and 15 days to go!!!

With the end of my six month internship at Community Partnerships RC&D, I now am full on into packing and preparation for traveling cross county. Most likely the first few day's meals will have been prepared ahead at home with the convenience of a  toaster-convection oven, electricity for appliances and running hot and cold water.


My road buddy has recently discovered Spanokopita (non vegan) so I decided to make a vegan version that can be heated in a solar box oven which I've decided to construct for the trip.

With virtually no cost a box oven can be made with two boxes, aluminum foil, one piece of glass, flat black paint and a bit of insulation (recycled newspapers). I have never used a solar oven but am excited to explore its potential. Once I reach Arizona I hope to cook using solar energy as often as possible.
