How do we make cookies without sugar? or an oven...
This is almond flour, mashed banana, coconut oil and lemon juice, rolled into blobs and cooked in a frying pan with the lid on. I put another grate on top of the burner for more space and left it on low for a while.
They came out just fine. The test of a cookie is whether you're trying to resist eating more of them. My cookie itch was scratched.
I wouldn't normally bake on aluminum foil, but there wasn't any parchment on the boat. Just this once won't kill us.
The boat is good practice for where I'm going next. There's no fridge, oven, or running water on the boat - although Darling says he'll get the water back on very soon - but there's a source of potable water fifty feet away. Carrying it back in gallon jugs is practice, and washing two hands with a gallon jug in one of them is an art.
Update as of now: he just said the boat's going to have running water today!
That's cool, but not necessary. I'll try not to let myself get spoiled.
The boat has power and cell phone service.
Where we're going there's no power but solar, no phone but landline, no water but what we haul in, but there'll be an oven! Our trailer will have propane to cook with. Choose your indulgences, hehe.
It's not exactly the wild woods, although it'll be woodsier and wilder than I've been for a few decades now.
Another test, oatmeal and raisins without bananas, and I bought some parchment squares:
A few days after giving up sugar the darling stood up after dinner and wanted to know, "What's for dessert? Where's the M&Ms? Where's the Reese's? Where's the Oreos??"
I said, "Look in the frying pan, there's cookies"
😇
