The Great experiment

Bowing to the book Eaarth by Bill McKibbons we as a family have decided to cut our carbon foot print again by redoing again the Great Experiment. Where we live without lights and light candles. The electricity is still on but we cannot use the microwave or toaster but allow ourselves coffee maker. Computer use is at the library where public access is and cool airconditioned rooms give us respite from not using our airconditioner when it is too hot. We are still installing the laundry line to dry our clothes. We are still using our washing machine to wash clothing and Dryer to do clothes and towels. This is kind of like camping but without alot of the hassle of setting up a tent and bringing the propain or burning wood to cook with.

Day 20 - challenge was to not use the oven

One of the hardest challenges is to keep a house cool. The oven produces a challenge as while your cooking the oven is heating the house. We like hot food so we grilled when we were not doing salad. We did pizza and fajitas on the grill. We have a pizza stone. DW put the stone on the grill with an oven gauge. First pizza came out charred as we set the grease in the grill on fire. DW got the water sprayer and sprayed the flame out. Pizza was black on the bottom. The next three came out better as DW became more experienced... Despite the grill from hell food was good.
