Hello everyone,
It has been a great week!
My mother's friend Lanie brought her spiffy solar oven to bake bread with us. We have never tried baking bread this way so it was really exciting to try out. We felt more like scientists than bakers.
All of the panels concentrate the heat of the sun into the oven. So cool.
The finished product! Lathered in butter and ready to go...
Mmm...
Naturally, bread just wasn't enough for me. My occupational therapist Melanie has been telling me about Happy Joe's for the past month - it's a charming buffet-style pizza joint that has taco pizza, breakfast pizza, all kinds of good stuff. Plus, the one in my town is the only one on the west side of the United States as of right now. You can check out their menu here: http://www.happyjoes.com/menu/index.php
I used my iPad and TouchChat app to order pizza, too! I get to choose options and the app will tell people what I want. It's easy for my mom and other family members to understand me, but this app helps me communicate with other people who aren't as familiar. Technology rocks!
We got Hawaiian pizza and were treated to free dessert pizza - cinnamon pizza with vanilla icing!
Feasting with my mom! Thanks for driving me to Happy Joe's and helping me so much!
She really is the best. Oh, and my twin sister was also there, she snapped most of these photos for me to use on the blog. Thanks, Ashley!
Melanie, me, and mom. I got a big ole cup of Root Beer - my favorite.
Best of all, they took a photo of us and featured our group on their Facebook page! How awesome is that!
Thanks for catching up with me! Until next time. :)

So cool Erik! I love this post so much! Can we go try it when I visit?
