Models and Moto

Moto
So... I tried my hand at baking again today. Today i tried to make cookies. I thought of a great idea to simulate an oven. I took a big stew pot and put spoons in the bottom. Then i put a metal plate on top of through spoons and a lid over the pot.

The idea was to put an air gap between the heat and the food. This worked great on the first batch of cookies, but i ran into a big problem the 2nd time. In kiswahili, "moto" means fire. Well... Moto is hot and i was using an aluminum pot. The melting point of aluminum is around 600 C. See the photo below...

  1. Hi Jon and Mandy, Hello from Mom and Dad. It is so good to see the pictures. Don't think we've seen one of the landscape there or Mt K. Do you see it easily from where you are? Is Mike the brother that you live with? It would be great to connect sometime this weekend. Uncertain if we can find a library to call or skype you on Saturday, but will try. Think of you often and send you love and hugs. M & D
