Get the kids to make giant vat of mushy newspaper (which they love- it's like treading grapes!) then squeeze it out and dry it in small lumps on those ubiquitous plastic food trays my PYO strawberries come in. More productive than just filling the paddling pool and just as wet!Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388175819512214533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388623297510187244.post-48745806099142036892012-07-27T09:22:02.056+01:002012-07-27T09:22:02.056+01:00Do let me know how you get on with the solar cooke...Do let me know how you get on with the solar cooker. I've thought about it, but I'm skeptical of getting enough heat to actually cook anything, which is why I lowered my sights to drying things. I'd love to hear if you manage to make it work.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619866897155085499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388623297510187244.post-88369833488289044352012-07-27T07:43:17.216+01:002012-07-27T07:43:17.216+01:00Brilliant!
