My kind of performance evaluation

So, the B1 wing emergency infrastructure got tested several days ago, including the stove/range that would be used to cook for the station if the regular galley were offline.  It’s a BIG step down in capability, and actually seeing this generic home appliance here (for the first time) was kind of a small nostalgic reminder of the normal world.

To test the oven the chef baked some cookies, but I guess the recipe didn’t work out great without a convection oven.  Anyhow, it was a new detail of the station I hadn’t seen before, so I thought I’d share.  And, no, I didn’t eat any of the cookies.  My resolution remains intact, despite frequent opportunities otherwise.

I should also mention the ambient temperature on Sunday reset our season low to -104.8°F, and actually stayed in the triple digits for quite a long while.  It was not the record for the day, but it was the coldest I've experienced down here.
