Re: Out-greened and outsmarted by a six year old

Kids are the best. Recently I was in a solar cooking contest in Scottsdale at their green building expo. There were about 10 entries. One was the inventor of the sun oven solar that are sold and donated to developing countries. What a great way to really help these 3rd world places that cut down their last 2 trees for fire wood to cook when they have sun all day.

  One entry was an 11 year old girl who decided all by herself to enter and make a 3 course meal. Her mom would have loved to help her but was busy with events of her own. This precotious girl was so knowledgeable that she helped another 2 women with their entry. In fact they ended up winning 1st place. The young girl got 2nd and really was the star of the day.

   When people would come by she would walk them down the ovens explain what each was making and how they did it. She was my number one vote because she was smart and helpful and thrilled to win 2nd when she really was the top cook all day.

   By the way I made organic wild blueberry muffins and gave 30 away during the day since I was just having fun and sharing. Winning is for competitive types and I was just there to educate. It's amazing how many people never saw a solar over and didn't believe it really got to 3-400 degrees. I use mine any day I'm not working and in AZ itls always cooking weather.
