Broiling

I looked at the temperature in Lincoln, NE today and it was 21. That temperature seems it would be so refreshing after today. It was so, so hot. To boot, we have been having trouble with our electricity. It's always fickle, and always on the hottest day it seems. Our pizza oven of a house only takes about 3.5 minutes without AC to become hot enough to sweat in, and we were without AC for an hour or two this afternoon. We don't yet have an oven, and I've been itching for some chocolate chip cookies. I thought about trying to see if I could bake cookies on the roof, and was planning on it, when I realized that it gets much hotter in the car. Drew was working from home for the afternoon meaning the truck was available. So I mixed up chocolate chip cookies, put them on pans, and put them in the dash. I found an oven thermometer and put that in a little later. To my surprise it went immediately up to 160 degrees! My cookies were coming along nicely on one of the hottest days yet, when an afternoon breeze blew in some clouds. This was (and probably will ever be) the only time I was sad to see the sun go behind the clouds. My cookies are half baked, but still delicious
