Actually, my wife and I are actually working on a cookbook, rather unique, in that all the recipes are worked up to be cooked in foil on the engine of the family car as you travel!
I did this a lot in my younger days, and got quite good at it. I’ve even baked bread on the engine! The original technique is a depression era thing, as families moved to new areas to look for work. I though as long as we have Obama and his plan to destroy our economy, such a skill revival might come in handy, and serve a whole new generation of participants in this current sequel of “the Grapes of Wrath.”
I thought I had read about this somewhere, so did a little search - here’s some links I found. Sounds VERY interesting! Good luck to you and the Missus, Johnn!
