Introduction: How to Make Corn Tortillas 3 Ingredients and Gluten Free. In this instructable, I will show you how to make Corn Tortillas with three ingredients and gluten free. A full instruction and downloadable recipe can be found on The Tortilla Channel.The tortilla is the base of the Mexican kitchen but also an egg dish in the Spanish kitchen. I have found that just about any culture has it’s own tortilla. That is why you can’t go wrong with a “tortilla”.I always used store bought tortillas thinking it would be either to difficult or take to much time to make them from scratch. Until I found how easy it is to make my own corn tortillas.  Ok they may not look the same as store bought ones or taste the same (they taste better in my opinion). The best part is you can use them as a base for other recipes think tacos or tortilla chips. Step 1: What Do You Need to Make This Recipe. For corn tortillas you have to use special corn flour which is called Masa Harina. You should not confuse it with polenta flour or cornstarch. Masa Harina can be white or yellow. I bought the white variety but the yellow is even nicer with the happy color. As soon as you open the packet you smell taco making preparing even better. I found the flower online and it is also available in several varieties at Amazon.com.Besides the right flour it is also important to have a tortilla press or use a rolling pin. Put some plastic between the press and remove the dough as soon as you press else it can be more difficult to get them out. Either lay them apart or press just before you put the tortilla in a hot pan. Step 2: Instructions. Put the 2 cups of Masa Harina in a bowl.  Add the salt to the bowl and stir thoroughly. Add 1 cup of hot water and stir again with a wooden spoon before adding the additional half cup of hot water.  Knead the dough into a consistent ball. Cover with a towel. Rest the dough for 1 hour. Create balls the size of a golf bal. Heat a large pan. Cover the tortilla press with plastic and press the tortilla. Cook the tortilla on medium to high heat for about 1 minute until the tortillas get some color. Turn and heat the other side of the tortilla for also 1 minute.  Store in a tortilla warmer or keep in a cloth. Step 3: Notes. Make sure the water is hot to properly activate the Masa Harina.  I use a non stick pan to cook the tortillas without any oil or butter. You can store the torillas in a ziplock plastic bag in the refrigerator for about 1 week or in the freezer. You can heat them in a pan or in the microwave using a ziplock bag or cloth to cover them. Step 4: Watch the One Minute Video.
Introduction: Squid Salad With Blood Orange and Avocado. Squid with seasonal California produce. Step 1: Clean and Chop Squid. Pull the head/tentacles away from the body.  Scoop any remaining guts out of the body, and remove the thin plasticy  quill.  Rinse the body inside and out, then slice into approximately 3/4-1 inch thick rings.
Squeeze behind the head to extrude the beak, and remove it from the center of the tentacles.   Cut  just below the eyes to free the tentacles, then add them to the bowl with the body rings. 
Tentacles are the best part.  No, really- they're fantastic. Step 2: Season. Add salt and pepper to the squid, and stir to coat evenly.  Don't over-season here, as it's easy to add more salt and pepper later in the salad prep process. Step 3: Pan-fry. Coat a non-stick skillet with oil, heat it until the oil starts to shimmer, and toss in your squid pieces.  Only cook a handful or so at a time, as you'll need to pay them close attention.
Flip and stir the squid around with a pair of heat-proof tongs, and remove the squid IMMEDIATELY when it turns opaque.  This should take just about a minute.  
Yank the squid out of the pan, and let them cool on a paper towel.
The saying goes that squid should be cooked for two minutes or two hours; intermediate cooking leaves it rubbery and gross.  It's easy to do a quick-cook if you pay a bit of attention and cook the squid in batches. Step 4: Chop Fresh Stuff. Peel and chop a blood orange and an avocado1.Coarsely chop 3-4 shallots, or finely mince a quarter of a purple onion.    Coarsely chop a large handful of cilantro.Combine all above ingredients in a large bowl.1(Remember all of that about local and seasonal?  These Bacon avocados came from a friend's tree, and the blood oranges came from Rudino's farm.  It's awesome to know where your food comes from.) Step 5: Squid & Seasonings. Add the juice of one large lemon.  
If you can get a Meyer lemon use it; they're mellow, sweet, and fragrant, and grow in many back yards near me.  (My tree is still a pathetically tiny shrub.)  Otherwise, just use a normal lemon.
Add the squid, and stir.
Adjust seasonings- add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as necessary.  A bit of agave nectar or honey (~1 teaspoon) will take the edge off of the lemon, and blend the flavors nicely.
Toss again to distribute the juices.  Letting the salad marinate in the fridge for a bit can't hurt. Step 6: Serve. Serve chilled, in small bowls.  
I like to dangle tentacles over the edge for extra style points, but your mileage may vary.  Garnish with more cilantro leaves if you're so inclined.
This salad will keep overnight if refrigerated, but you probably don't want to keep it for two.  It disappears quickly, so we've never had any problems with this.

Introduction: Simple Curry Paneer Pizza. Thanks to the Indian Cuisine Contest for inspiring me to create one of the tastiest dishes I have ever made! This easy but unique and mouth-watering pizza is a Naan flat bread on bottom, a layer of chicken curry, and  paneer cheese on top. Paneer is a plain tasting cheese that was first made in India, and it pairs perfectly with the spicy curry sauce. If you can't find paneer at the grocery store I included a link to a recipe at the end of step one. Only one word can describe this pizza recipe... Yummm!!!  Step 1: Ingredients. 
          If your in a hurry this recipe can be done with just 5 ingredients: chicken, oil, curry sauce from a jar, naan flat bread, and some paneer if you can find it. I got Paneer for $4 at Sprouts Farmers Market, along with the Naan bread on clearance for $2 and the Madras Curry sauce for $4. The chicken was also on sale :) it was the strip kind for stir fry which saved me a little cutting.              Simple Curry and Paneer Pizza Recipe:    About 1 1/2 lbs. chicken strips     1 Tablespoon vegetable or canola oil     1 Jar of premade curry of your choice; I used Madras Curry Indian Simmer Sauce by Maya Kaimal     2-4 pieces of Tandoori Naan      4 oz. Paneer cheese, or you can substitute with crumbled plain goat cheese     *Optional- fresh cilantro garnish or chop it up and spread over the pizzas    **Will also need a skillet, spatula or wooden spoon to stir chicken, cheese grater *optional, and a baking sheet for softer crust or right on the rack in the oven for crispier crust  Feeling adventurous and have the time to make Naan, Curry, and Paneer from scratch! Here are some links to recipes if your in such a mood... Naan- http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/2007/05/22/naan-bread/ Curry- http://allrecipes.com/recipe/indian-chicken-curry-murgh-kari/ Paneer- www.wikihow.com/Make-Paneer-(Indian-Cheese) Step 2: Cooking Chicken and Shredding It Up. Cook the chicken strips at medium-high for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. If your using a whole chicken breast it will need longer to cook the middle. Then after you have taken the chicken off the heat for a few minutes to cool, use a fork and knife to shred the chicken into small pieces. Step 3: Add Sauce and Spread on Naan. Put the shredded chicken back in the skillet and add your curry sauce of choice. I simmered the mixture for about ten minutes to really cook the sauce into the chicken, but you could probably skip that and add the mix right onto the Naan because it will heat up in the oven. Then spread the curry sauce and chicken over two Naan flat breads, or you could make it work for 4 since I had leftover curry mix and used lots of chicken on my two.  Step 4: Add Paneer and Bake. Shred paneer cheese or crumble chunks over the pizzas, and put them in the oven at 450o for about 8-10 minutes till the cheese melts.  Step 5: Enjoy (*^.^). I can't express in words how delicious this curry pizza was... but I'm also a huge fan of curry so try it out for yourself and tell me what you think! Feel free to add ideas on other toppings in the comments or pics of your own Indian style pizza. The possibilities are endless (*>.<)
Introduction: Easy Pumpkin Curry Recipe. I never would have considered making a pumpkin curry to be "easy" until I tried it.  I really went into this dish expecting not to like it!  Pumpkin curry is one of my favorite take-out meals, so how could I possibly make the recipe at home be nearly as good as from the Thai place down the street?
Well, to my amazement, I LOVED this dish.  I altered it from the original recipe to suit my tastes (bye, bye cilantro!) and I suggest you do the same to suit yours!   Plus, with the amount of curry paste I used compared the amount I bought for ~$2, I'll be making this dish again, and again, and again . . . 
This pumpkin curry pairs nicely with chicken, seafood, or tofu, and a variety of veggies.  I highly recommend you give it a try.  It may seem daunting at first, but it's definitely worth the effort!  
I used a kabocha squash for this dish instead of a pumpkin.  Why? Because that's how the Thai place down the street does it!  I don't think I've ever seen actual pumpkin in a pumpkin curry in all my days.  So I took that little tidbit and ran with it. Step 1: Ingredients. adapted from Thai Yellow Pumpkin and Seafood Curry by Nigella Lawson
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk (about 1 2/3 cups)
1 to 2-tablespoons yellow Thai curry paste (or red if you like it hot!)
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons fish sauce 
2 tablespoons sugar
1 lemongrass stalk, each cut into 1/3's and separated
3 Thai basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
3 cloves garlic, toasted
2 1/4 pounds kabocha squash, peeled and cut into large, bite-sized chunks
2 pounds chicken, diced (or substitute salmon and shrimp, or tofu)
Vegetables of your choice
1/2 to 1 lime, juiced or more to taste
More Thai basil, for garnish
You can substitute cilantro for the basil if that's your thing.  More authentic that way! Step 2: How to Peel a Squash. I was amazed at how little information there is on the internet to help me figure out how to handle peeling a squash like this.   It's really hard to do it when the squash is still raw!  So this is what I did:
With a sharp knife, puncture some holes in the side of your squash.
Microwave on high for 6-8 minutes (mine needed 8).
Let cool in the microwave for 2 minutes.
Use a paring knife to peel away the skin of the squash.   Much easier!
Your squash is now partially cooked, meaning the rest of the dish will go even faster! 
Seed and chop your squash into bite-sized pieces. Step 3: Procedure. In a large saucepan or pot, stir together the coconut milk and curry paste until combined.   Add the stock, fish sauce, sugar, lemongrass, Thai basil, and turmeric.  Bring to a boil.
Add the chicken (or other protein) and simmer for 4-6 minutes.  
Stir in pumpkin, garlic, and other vegetables.  Let simmer for another 4-6 minutes until everything is cooked through.
Squeeze half a lime over the curry and stir to incorporate.  Adjust seasonings to taste!  Step 4: Serve. Serve over jasmine (my fave) or basmati rice.  
Garnish with Thai basil, lime, and lemongrass stalks from the curry.
This recipe serves 4-6, and is great for leftovers.  I hope you give it a try!
Introduction: Drunken Gummies (Vodka-Infused Gummi Bears). This Instructable will teach you how to create the most delicious alcoholic treat that will make you the life of any party. (My first instructable!)WARNING: Contains alcohol, so please only make this if you are of legal age in your area.'PLEASE USE RESPONSIBLY AND LEGALLY!!! Step 1: Prepare Materials and Get Them Soakin'!. This Instructable takes a bit more than a week to complete, but the end result is certainly worth it! You will need:- 1 1/2 cups of vodka (can use more or less if desired)- 1 tub of gummi bear candies, plastic with lid (about 1kg. Tub found at Wal-mart)- 1 can of frozen juice concentrate, any flavour desired (I used fruit punch.)You can keep the juice frozen for now, as you will not need it for a few days.- First step is to open the lid of your gummi bears and pour in the vodka. The amount and brand is at your discretion, though I have found 1.5 cups of Smirnoff vodka to be the best. I have tried this with raspberry vodka as well, with pleasurable results. Basically, pour the vodka into the packed bears until the alcohol barely peeks over the top. - Give your newly introduced gummi-bears and vodka a stir, and replace the lid. Place the whole tub into the fridge. - Let this sit for five days, stirring a couple of times each day.  Step 2: I've Created a Monster!.... I've Created 500 Monsters!. After five days, much of your vodka will have been soaked into the bears and they may have gone through a significant growth spurt, as shown in the photo. Now is the time for the juice to be added.The purpose of the juice is to mask the strong vodka taste that exists in these candies. - Place a thawed can of frozen juice into a mixing container, and add only HALF of the required water. - Pour one cup of partially diluted juice into the tub of bears, stirring very well.- Replace the lid and place back in the refrigerator. Step 3: Wait for It..... Let the bears sit in their juice and whatever vodka is left, for FOUR more days. This is essential because otherwise they will have a hard middle or will taste too much like vodka. Resist the urge to taste test! Stir twice a day to prevent sticking. Step 4: Finally, Our Lovely Mutants!. Your gummi bears are finally finished! If there is a lot of excess juice/vodka resting in the bottom, you may drain it or leave it in to be further absorbed by the bears as they rest.Remember to return to the fridge if they are not all eaten -- which rarely happens! Be ready for the rush and eat these carefully as they can be pretty potent!'PLEASE USE RESPONSIBLY AND LEGALLY!!!
Introduction: Kajagoogoo! (Kaju Katli Style Marzipan). If you followed my Instructable to make Napoleon Marching Bread, you've probably got a lot of left-over almond flour in the larder ... here's something you can do with it in 5 minutes to make a tasty sweet!This is similar to home-made Marzipan, but with an Indian flavor.  I was aiming for something like Kaju Katli (or as my wife calls it, Kajagoogoo), but I'm not sure if what came out could be better described as a Burfi or a Halwa.  You decide.  Anyway, whatever you call it, it's very tasty!You'll need almond flour, an egg, and one secret ingredient... "MTR Badam Feast".(Oh yes - and a food processor.)Put a cup and a half of Badam Feast and a cup and a half of Almond Flour in the food processor and grind it finer.  Then add an egg white and run the food processor on the low setting until it all collects into a ball of dough.  If the dough is sticky, break it into smaller pieces, add more almond flour, and run the processor again - you want a consistency like Play Doh(tm)...When you have a nice mouldable lump of dough, roll it into strips and cut the strips into coin-shaped pieces, then decorate with slivered almonds/cashews/pistachios if you have any, and serve.  Or just eat it all while standing there in the kitchen :-)Now if you're wondering what to do with all that left-over Badam Feast, try my recipe for 5-minute Shrikhand!
Introduction: 3 Ingredients Rice Crispy. It's my favorite childhood snack! Crunchy, sweet, and so simple!Yes, you will only need 3 ingredients- but of course, I will let you know what other ingredients would go well with this little snack.  Step 1: Ingredients. You will need:-about 1.5 cups of small marshmallow -14g butter-2 cups of rice cerealI always like to add some nuts to the snack as well, peanut, almonds, walnuts are all good choices! But they're totally optional.  Step 2: Make the Sugar Base. Heat your pan on low heat. Put the butter in and wait till it's melted. Put all the marshmallows into the pan and keep stirring until all of them are melted and look like a sauce. This sugar base will function as an adhesive to the rice cereal; it's a very simple process, just make sure you don't cook them on high heat to burn them.  Step 3: Shape the Snack. Put all the rice cereal into the pan as well and keep stirring until all the cereal form a whole piece. You can add nuts or other cereal (for example, corn cereals) during this step as well. Turn off the heat, and transfer the sticky whole thing into a lightly sprayed tray. Put the tray into the fridge and wait for about 4 hours.  Step 4: Cut and Enjoy!. You can take the whole thing out pretty easily when it's dry and firm. Cut them into small pieces and store them air tight. Every body loves it -- crunchy and sweet, who wouldn't?Hope you'll like this simple and easy recipe! And if you do, please vote for me in the 3 ingredients challenge, thanks!!

Introduction: Funnel Cakes,  Fried Oreos and Twinkies Oh My. Howdy Y'all   Today i am going to show you how to make the state fair fryfecta.  If you have ever wanted to make  a funnel cake, fried Oreo, or fried Twinkie, this is the recipe for you .  Just one taste will take you right back to steamy summer nights at the fair.     Oh yeah and you will never have to shell out $5 a pop for your fix ever again.    Equipment needed Deep Fryer or Pan  Tongs and slotted spoon to fish out the fried goodness   Roll of paper towels.   Bottle of vegetable oil  mixing bowl   whisk  measuring cups and spoonsBaking soda and a lid in case the grease catches fire on ya if using a pan. Dry Ingredients 2 Cups All Purpose Flour  1 TSP (teaspoon)salt  1 TSP Ground Cinnamon   1 TSP Baking Powder Wet Ingredients2 Cups Milk   2 Large Eggs   2 TSP Vanilla Extract   Misc IngredientsConfectioners (powdered) Sugar  Frozen Twinkies  Oreo CookiesThe first step is to make the batter Add all of the dry ingredients together in the mixing bowl, then mix in the wet ingredients until the batter is smooth.  Seriously that is it. there are no magic elves, no unobtanium just some simple mixing.  The above recipe so far has yielded 2 funnel cakes,  12 fried Oreo cookies, and 2 fried Twinkies.   I probably have enough left over to fry 2 more funnel cakes.   If put in a sealed container in the fridge I have stored it for 2 days after making.   But with the raw egg you wouldn't want to keep it much longer.  It does freeze however.... I use a deep fryer that automatically reaches temperature but if you are using a pan heat the oil to abut 375 degrees Fahrenheit.  Follow the directions on your fryer.  Now that your oil is heating up you have to decide what you want to fry up.    Step 1: Fried Oreo Cookies. Using tongs or a fork dunk a cookie into the batter so that it is covered on all sides,  and gently place into the heated oil. Cook them for about 45-60 seconds on each side, turning them  them over once. The breading should be a golden brown color. After they are done frying place them on a plate covered in paper towels and dust them with powdered sugar to taste.  Step 2: ​Fried Twinkies . The first step is to freeze a Twinkie for a couple hours to ensure that the filling stays in the Twinkie while it is frying. Using tongs place a frozen Twinkie into the batter mixture and ensure that it is thoroughly coated before fryingAfter it has also fried for about 60 seconds rotate it so that the top side has a chance to cook . After they are done frying place them on a plate covered in paper towels and dust them with powdered sugar to taste. Step 3: ​Funnel Cakes.  I don't use a funnel but I do pour the batter relatively slowly so that it forms the drizzle pattern we are so used to. Pour about 1/2 a cup of batter slowly into the hot oil in circular patterns. You will be able to see in the oil about how big the cake is going to be and spots that need more batter. After it has fried for about 60 seconds use your tongs to flip it and let it finish up on the other side. Then set on a plate covered with towels and dust with powdered sugar to taste. Thank you and snack responsibly.

Most Burgoo recipes are closely guarded secrets, in the spirit of open source I am sharing Mammaw's Burgoo recipe.ToolsTire (optional)  Electric roaster  Smoker or pit SuppliesHickory wood Ingredients1/4 cup vegetable oil  2 tablespoons cayenne 2 tablespoons onion powder  2 tablespoons garlic powder  2 tablespoons chili powder  1/4 cup coarse salt  1/4 cup black pepper  3/4 cup paprika  1/4 cup cider or white vinegar  12-ounce cans beer  Worcestershire sauce to taste  tabasco to taste  cayenne to taste  salt to taste  1 cup diced celery  2 cups lima beans  2 cups diced okra  2 pods red pepper  2 cups whole corn, fresh or canned  1 quart tomato puree  2 cups chopped cabbage  2 green peppers  1 bunch carrots  1.5 pounds onions  1.5 pounds potatoes  8 quarts water  4 pound hen  2 Pounds breast of lamb  2 Pounds beef shank   2 Pounds veal shank  2 Pounds pork shank  Step 1: Mix Dry Rub. Mix the first 7 dry ingredients to make a dry rub. Step 2: Prep the Hen. Combine 12 onces beer with the vegetable oil, 1/4 cup vinegar and 2 teaspoons of the dry rub.  Using a kitchen syringe inject about half the liquid deep into the hen in several places.  Massage the liquid into the hen, cover with dry rub. Step 3: Prep and Install the Throne. With a can opener remove the top of a half empty beer can.  Fill with 1/4 of an onion, 1 glove garlic and a tablespoon of dry rub.  Insert the can into the cavity of the hen. Step 4: Prep the Remaining Meat. Apply the dry rub to the remaining meat.  Cuts of meat can be substituted if unavailable, it is important to use a cut with bone-in to help thicken the Burgoo. Step 5: Smoke the Meat. Smoke the meat for 4 hours.  I use a charcoal smoker with a water bowl but load it with hot coals from a wood fire instead of charcoal.  It is easier for me to maintain the temperature adding preheated coals over waiting for new charcoal to ignite.  I fill the water bowl with beer, vegetable oil , vinegar and water.  I use hickory chunks added to the coals to generate smoke. Step 6: Simmer the Meat Overnight. As the meat is finishing up on the smoker, warm up 8 quarts of water in a large electric roaster to 250 degrees.  When the meat is finished smoking, load it into the warm water, bring to a boil and simmer overnight. Step 7: Prep the Cooked Meat. The next morning, lift the meat from the stock.  Cool and chop the meat, removing the bones.  At this point the meat should be tender enough to do this by hand. Step 8: Prep and Add the Veggies. Pare and dice potatoes and onions.  Return meat to stock and ad potatoes and onions.  Dice and add remaining ingredients except the seasonings. Step 9: Cook for 10 Hours. Simmer the Burgoo, add seasonings to taste, a bit at a time, continuing until the Burgoo is almost done.  Stir frequently with a long-handled spoon or paddle during the first part of the cooking and almost constantly after it gets thick.  Cook approximately 10 hours. Step 10: Enjoy. Enjoy the results, pairs well with bourbon.
Introduction: Super Easy, Three-ingredient Cookies.. This instructable is to show you how to make some very delicious, and very easy cookies.    The recipe is great for college students, because it only requires a few ingrediants.How can you make cookies with only three ingredients, you ask?  One of the ingredients is cake mix.  It's also great, because you can easilly create a different flavour of cookie, by just using a different flavour of mix. Step 1: Ingredients. Go to the store and buy:     1 Box of Cake Mix (I've had good results with the Betty Crocker Variety).  You can get any flavour of normal cake mix, but I've found angelfood and Yellow cake to be particularilly delicious.     2 Eggs     1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil     (Optional) One jar of Nutella.That is, if you don't already have them.  You will also need a mixer or a beater and a large bowl, and a cookie sheet. Step 2: Mix Everything Together.. First of all, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.Measure out the oil and crack the eggs into your mixer.  Or, if you don't have a mixer, just use a large bowl and some beaters.  Then, open the cake mix and pour that into the mixer, too.  Mix it all together until it's a uniform, wet, sticky mass.Lick the beaters while you wait for the oven to finish preheating*.  See, nummy.*Note: don't atcually do this is you're worried about eating raw eggs.  If you do get sick, it's not my fault. Step 3: Bake!. Scoop out the dough in rounded teaspoons, and plop them on an ungreased cookie sheet.  Then, when the oven's ready, pop the cookies in.After 11 minutes, pull it out, and stick a toothpick into one of the cookies.  If it comes out dry, the cookies are done.  Otherwise, put the cookies in for another minute.Once they are done, take the cookies off the cookie sheet and put them on a plate or something to cool.Then, load up more dough on the cookie sheet, and cook that.  Repeat, until you have lots of cookies and no dough. Step 4: You're Done. Optional (but awesome) step:  Spread some Nutella on the hot cookies.  They'll still be good without it, but trust me: Nutella with these cookies is CRAZY DELICIOUS.Then.. Enjoy!  This recipe makes about 2 dozen cookies, depending on how big you make the scoops.  Share some with your friends, to impress them with your baking skills.  Then, next time, experiment with a different colour of cake mix.

Introduction: Hybrid Solar Cooker. If you have ever wanted to save energy but still needed an oven and have a few house hold products, you can build a solar oven. I wanted to build a simple device just about anybody could build to warm broth,tea,melt cheese, or anything across those lines. In just under 10 steps you can have yourself a hybrid solar cooker. Step 1: Supplies. You're going to need foil or reflective tape,cardboard or styrofoam boxes,duct tape, a piece of glass or plastic,paper, black paint or black paper, a thermal brick, and a cutting knife.  Step 2: Start Building. You first need to tape your reflective tape into the styrofoam box very neatly. If the reflective sheet is not completely straight and smooth it will not reflect to full capacity. If your sheets do not tape to the box you can use silver tape when needed. Step 3: Line Your Box. Fine black paint or paper and cover the inside of your largest box on where the box will be exposed to the sun. Again if using paper you may use silver or black tape. Step 4: Stuff and Place. Add the stryofoam box with the reflecting sheets into the biggest box with the black lining. Then take news paper, or other insulators, in the space between the two boxes. Step 5: Use of a Thermal Brick. To create further absorption of heat, a heating brick is an easy and cheap solution. All you have to do is place the brick inside the styrofoam box with the reflective lining. I recommend covering the brick in black, rubbing charcoal or other black substances works just fine. Step 6: Glass. After you have your black covered thermal brick inside your styrofoam box, that is inside the biggest box stuffed with newspaper, you need to place a sheet of glass over it. The glass will act as a magnifier that will change the light energy into heat, and keep the heat sealed inside the box. Step 7: Build a Reflector. When building a reflector you need to be sure to find a material light enough to not weigh down your cooker, but not be light enough where it blows away with the wind. I choose to use a light cardboard material a size compatible with my largest box. To find and cut the proper size you will need a box cuter and ruler. Step 8: Finish Your Reflector. For your reflector to be most effective you need to use a reflective covering or aluminum if you're on a budget. Make the sheet as smooth as possible and leave extra on the sides of the board so that you can tape down with any tape.You will need your board from before, your reflective covering, your scissors, and your tape. Step 9: Putting Together Your Project. Find a secure was to attach or place your reflector by your cooker. You can either duct tape it to one side of your cooker or get rods attached to the back of the reflector and lean it against the cooker.   Step 10: Finishing Up. Now since your solar cooker is put together you can make tea or broth. I decided to make myself green tea, and with the Bay Areas windy weather it took about an hour to hit over 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Introduction: S'more Brownies. S'mores are awesome! Delicious gooey marshmallows, smashed between two tasty graham crackers with a slab of chocolate! What's not to love! I've been wanting to make a bar version of them for a while, and finally decided how I wanted to do it. It is really the ooey gooey, delicious, melted marshmallow that makes it awesome! Step 1: Ingredients. Ingredients:Brownie Mix (store bought or homemade) + any ingredients needed here (eggs, oil, etc)Graham CrackersButterSugarMarshmallowsChocolate ChipsBroken up by Layer:Layer 1
	1 Sleeve of Graham Crackers6 Tbs Melted Butter1/2 Cup SugarLayer 2
	Brownie Mix (store bought or homemade)Layer 3
	Overflowing 2 cups of MarshmallowsLayer 4
	Handful of MarshmallowsHandful of Chocolate ChipsHandful of Graham Cracker CrumbsSuggested Supplies:
Food ProcessorBaking PanMixing BowlsVarious Mixing UtensilsOvenTimerMeasuring Cup Step 2: Crust. Update:  As Boygasmo pointed out and I didn't really think about, this crust isn't very thick, if you want a ticker crust, double this recipe.
For the base of my dessert, I just used a Graham Cracker Crust.
		1 Sleeve of Graham Crackers
		6 Tbs Melted Butter
		1/2 Cup Sugar
Mix together your ingredients and spread it on the bottom of your pan. I used a piece of wax paper to smash it down flat.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes. Step 3: Brownie. As your crust is baking, mix up your brownie batter.
Once your crust is baked, adjust your oven temp if you need to and pour the brownie batter on top of the crust. Bake according to your brownie mix and make sure to check on it.
Once it is done, turn the oven on broil and move to the next step. Step 4: Marshmallow Topping. Marshmallow time!
I wanted this little treat to stand out. So I took an overflowing 2 cups of marshmallows and melted them on half power in the microwave until they looked all melty without overflowing and making a mess.
Carefully spread this on your brownies. If you are doing this when they are fresh baked, you will need to be careful. I tried to glob and carefully spread it. Don't tear it apart! It doesn't have to be perfect, just cover what you can.  Melt more marhsmallows if you need to.
Now you can move on or go right to broil! Step 5: That Little Something Extra.... 
          You have to take it that extra step towards awesome.Handful of MarshmallowsHandful of Chocolate ChipsHandful of Graham Cracker CrumbsTake your extra marshmallows, chocolate chips, and some extra smashed graham crackers and sprinkle those over the marshmallow layer you just put on.  Once it is ready, stick it in the oven that is on broil.  Keep an eye on it!  Go until they get brown on top.  I think it took me maybe a minute and a half, so don't you dare walk away from it or you'll have a mess on your hands! Step 6: Serve It Up!. Here are a few more of the 100+ pictures I took of my finished bars :P
