Keeping the Heat Outside

One of the conundrums of summer is all the fresh produce that you want to bake, as well as the house that you want to keep cool.

Consider zucchini bread. Zucchini plants produce like crazy, making the need for making something from them very high. One can only eat so much grilled and sauteed zucchini, after all. So here's our solution: an oven in the garage.

Doug bought it from his brother for $50. Not a bad deal, especially since it still works - without Doug even tinkering with it! It doesn't quite fit in its spot...and we do keep the breaker off when we're not using it to discourage kids from turning it on accidentally. But! It does bake pizza and zucchini bread (probably, haven't actually tried it)...without heating the house. Yay.
