Mmmm Burrito

After 200 miles, our burritos were perfect. I think maybe this under-the-hood cooking buisness might work better for heating food than for cooking raw food all the way through.

Joe wants to try ribs next but I'm a little skeptical. I mean, how embarrassing would it be to have to explain to a mechanic why there is BBQ sauce stuck in one of our belts?

Lunch Experiment Take 2

Last night for dinner we had tacos but had a little of the filling and cheese leftover. We decided that maybe we could use our car to reheat leftovers so before going to bed, we made 3 burritos with the leftover filling and some cheese , made 2 quesadillas with the remaining tortillas, wrapped them all up in foil and kept them in the icechest so they wouldn't spoil.

This morning at our gas station stop, we loaded up the engine (I'm sure people thought we were nuts...but then again we were in Virginia) and at 100 miles the quesadillas were perfect and we flipped the burritos over.

What we've learned so far:
1. Flip over your food every 100 miles or so to ensure even cooking...especially if baking

2. Car engines make amazing quesadillas

Our Little Lunch Experiment take 1

A la Manifold Destiny (which I haven't read...it's out of print) we decided to try little experiment for lunch with hotdogs, crescent rolls, and some foil yesterday.

First we wrapped some crescent roll dough around some hotdogs, wrapped them in foil and placed them in various places around our engine block.

First we drove 130 miles and checked. Only a few of them were mostly done. We ate those and flipped the others over. At 177 miles, they were perfect. So the key is apparently to flip them over to assure even cooking.

To be continued...
