      Hey thanks gamerslust! it must be difficult for you, I used to be that way too. It took me some time to learn that I don't need someone else with me to be a whole person or "complete me". But that still doesn't mean that I don't believe in love or enjoy spending time with others ❤️

      When you make cinema Lowe's you don't put them as butter all you have to do is get the PENUP a little bit and rub the butter around and there's enough and put the bowls in the pin even you don't need to use butter because the rolls got greased already we're not to burn for the blowhat was burning with the butter Cause they have too much butter and butter Burns fats

    I am a home baker of more than 50 years, and I love baking challenges. So one day, after watching Ukranian residents trying to cook in the street after having their homes destroyed, I asked myself: can you bake bread (and such like) without an oven? The answer is: you certainly can. You can "bake" in a lidded frying pan as you just experienced, and you can also steam in a lidded saucepan (my favorite way). For instance, mug cakes are even better steamed than they are cooked in a microwave and so would be those cinnamon rolls. Anyway, it takes experience which I know by numerous failures and successes. Anything with sugar and/or butter will burn at higher temperatures, so use low temperatures and you can make it work. Simpler breads are easier because they don't contain so many "burnables." The trick is low and slow because baking takes time to produce a good result.

Put the bundt cake pan on it. Place a lid on it, and you have your Omnia stove. You can get all the mentioned items at a thrift store for about $5. I also saw a 6 pack of silicone bundt cake liners for $2 from Temu. 😁

      thats genius! 👍👍 Arslan has incredible new solar panels (like 400 watts or smth and flexible and thin its amazing). but the question would be how much capacity are his current batteries. given his solar panels and his inverter i think it would be easy for him to increase his battery capacity so that it can store more of those energy generating sources, then he can easily use an air fryer or a portable air cooler or other creature comforts.

    You might want to look into a Hot Logic. It's a mini personal portable oven that can be used to make many things. There are Facebook groups with tips and recipes. Also, that's not air brakes. It's called "engine braking". It's when you downshift to slow down your vehicle instead of using your brakes. Engine braking is prohibited in many areas.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another good video. BTW, you can buy a toaster/oven they are pretty good and you can bake whatever & toast bread, even bake or rotisserie chicken, bake steak, make brownies, cookies, etc, plus they don't cost much; I got mine at Walmart I use it every week. Stay Safe & Healthy... Abrazos

    GREETINGS FROM EAST TEXAS! My Grandmother would make fried biscuits in a cast iron skillet. She showed me how to do that when I was in Boy Scouts. Mash the can biscuits flat and fry them like you did. They will draw up some and get thick again. As long as the middle is cooked, that is the goal. Looks good. I might try your method in my travel trailer. I don't use its oven.

    I watched this video in the comfort of my bed at 3am and related to your day. It’s funny how a desert can cost almost 10 dollars in a good restaurant, but I would have taken 2 of those rolls cooked in the skillet over it any day! You are making so many happy and that is just wonderful in today’s world.

    I'm so glad you were able to explore the I-80 Truck Stop. I've been there a few times. You must see the Grotto in West Bend. And the Effigy Mounds. Not to mention the Surf Ballroom and Museum. For a variation on the steak, use some Greek seasoning on it with the butter. Throw some rice in there too. It's soo good. I prefer the Greek seasoning without msg. Another flavor heaven. Enjoy your travels.

    We have a 700watt toaster oven in our Suburban. We've made biscuits in it and it bakes pretty well. It takes a lot of power from the 1000 watt power station, but if there's enough sun on the solar panels, it recharges quickly. But your way works, too!

    Got to say, you make it look way too easy. Although being a guy over 6 foot I don’t know if I could do the Camaro. Just really glad that my semi is big enough for me.
