I like to make my own bread. Part of making it is letting it rise, which is best done somewhere warm - 80F or above. But I like to keep my house about 65, so there's always been this problem of how to find a warm enough spot for the bread. In front of the woodstove? Yeah, but it gets too hot on one side. In the oven on low? Even low's too warm.

So yesterday I had a thought, and I'm kicking myself for not having thought of it years ago. It's sunny, the car warms up pretty well, why don't I just put it out in the car? Why did it take me so long to figure this out?
