So, @rek and I got super interested in these vacuum tubes that people put on their rooftops.
We've just cooked our first meal with the sun, and are still a bit shocked at how well it worked out. It's pretty cool out today, it was able to cook potatoes thoroughly in an hour.

🌻 The big advantage of using the sun to cook our meals is that instead of using the pressure cooker over the gas stove, which creates a lot of moisture in the galley, we'll be able to make our meals in the summer without heating up the habitat!

Next, we'll try rice and bread.

Made some pasta sauce(ground beets, tvp, kale, garlic, zataar) and left it out for 45 minutes in the vacuum tube, in the afternoon sun. Turned out so good.
