Woman Uses Dashboard To Bake Cookies

http://www.nbc17.com/foodnews/9628190/detail.html

BEDFORD, N.H. -- How hot is it? Hot enough to bake cookies in an SUV.

With a heat wave blistering much of the East, Sandi Fontaine decided to bake some cookies for her co-workers.

She put two trays of cookie dough on the dash of her Toyota Rav4. While the temperature was in the mid- to upper 90s, Fontaine said the temp inside was about 200.

She first tried dash-baking a few years ago and said anyone can do it.

A little later, her co-workers got to enjoy the benefits of Fontaine's four-wheeled culinary skills. One said, "Mrs. Fields has nothing on Sandi."

Fontaine added that baking dashboard cookies leaves her car smelling great.

Wish I would have had this story a few days ago. I'd like to try it for the heck of it. I was cooking burgers on the grill and my husband thought I could have just tossed them on the driveway and saved the propane. Heat index 115. Too, too, hot. AC wasn't doing much by 2 pm and it didn't get cool enough to sleep till about 2 am. The Antarctic is looking better and better all the time.

Crazybird,

You're such a hoot. Nothing like good old fashion humor. You must be from the midwest.
