One of the luxuries here is anything resembling vegan desserts. Not that I have a huge sweet tooth, but I when given the opportunity to bake something in our cobb oven, I take it. The disincentive is that it takes hours to get the oven going. Partly because you need to start the fire and get the fire to a certain point. And because of the work, we typically do it only for pizza nights. Ok, it’s really not a lot of work, however it does require something called “energy” which often I don’t have in the afternoons beyond making myself enough food to eat. All I can say is that at the end of the day, the effort is typically worth it.
After Martijn’s trip to Mayogalpa we ended up with fun ingredients, like cinnamon and cacao. This meant that we could finally have banana-oatmeal-cinnamon-cacao nib cookies, or what Sara has dubbed my “wee balls”. Apparently when I finish rolling them (into balls, oddly enough) I say something about the wee balls. And so it is that they have been called thus. Also because wee balls wabble but they don’t fall down...
In any case it is a perfect way to cap off a week and enjoy a small luxury.
