and make cookies in your car!  from yahoo news:


N.H. woman bakes cookies on dashboard





Thu Aug 3, 9:55 PM ET



BEDFORD, N.H. - Blistering heat was just what Sandi Fontaine needed to bake cookies for her co-workers — on the dash of her Toyota Rav4.


With temperatures soaring Wednesday, Fontaine placed two trays of cookie dough on the dashboard, shut the doors and retreated inside to her air conditioned office.

"My husband wanted me to run some errands this morning," said Fontaine, who works at Baldwin and Clarke Corporate Finance. "I said, 'I can't. I'm baking cookies.'"


Fontaine first tested her dashboard oven three years ago. She said anyone can do it; the only requirement is for the outside temperature to be at least 95 degrees, so it will rise to about 200 degrees in the car. Temperatures in the area reached the mid to upper 90s on Wednesday.


"Mrs. Fields has nothing on Sandi," co-worker Brian Champigny said of the cookie company.


Though Thursday was supposed to be cooler, Fontaine said she'll still enjoy the benefits of her culinary effort.


"When you open the door to that car," she said, "it's like, oh my God. It's a wonderful smell."

That would be nice to open your car door and smell fresh baked cookies!

I wonder if they really are cooked thoroughly?  I'd try it, but it rarely gets that hot here.

What a way to use natural resources, I wonder how long you have to leave them in there!

Oh kahluamilk why did you post that picture?!?!?! They look so soft and chewy!!


 Now I want to eat a dozen cookies!!! I dont know why but I have been craving sweets lately!!!


Anyhoo that story is kind of hard to believe. I think I would have to try the cookies to see if it really is true!

that reminds me, when I was younger and my family had first bought a boat, we would always go on these boating trips. My mom would get frozen chicken sandwhiches at the store and keep them in the cooler. When we were hungry, we would find an inlet and jump out to swim while the sanwhiches cooked on the "hood" of the boat (which was so hot because of the sun plus the motor running)
