Your Scribe isn't much of a cook, but I do try.

Here are some biscuits that I recently made in an old-fashioned, stove-top oven. It sits atop the wood stove, which gets plenty hot if given enough time.

The (pre-made) biscuits rose nicely, and were tasty. I learned the next day that you can't take biscuits off the stove, then put them on 15 minutes later. They deflate and do not rise again.

Next spring I hope to do more cooking. That means having more light in the cabin, and that raises the question of getting a generator. Thus far I have avoided the generator purchase.

But if you can build a well, you can bring in a generator for light and perhaps heat. I will be pricing generators this winter.

With so many trees surrounding the cabin, solar power does not seem feasible.
