Vegan, Gluten-free Plum Crisp / Slivov drobljenec

“Searching for the scent 

of the early plum,

I found it by the eaves

Of a proud storehouse.” 

― Matsuo Bashō, The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches

I filmed my first foodie video!

I went running this morning. My feet again decided they like to run. Sadly this happened a bit late, because it will soon be the end of warm days and I don’t like to run when it’s cold. Forest in the morning is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Danes zjutraj sem šla teči. Spet me je prijelo za tek. Škoda, ker bo kmalu konec toplih dnevov in bo mojih tekaških dnevov bolj malo. Jutranji gozd je nekaj najlepšega.

Forest in the morning is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

I felt that Autumn vibe today and all I could think about during running, was how this year's Autumn will be a good time because I’m different, I’ve changed and everything will be different ... and how I will try to prepare as many Autumn recipes I can, because this makes me happy. I like everything that is nice, comfortable, …  everything they are selling us in movies, and every single person can make their life so pretty, but sadly people don’t want to put a little bit of effort into it. Why can’t I have a beautiful picnic in Autumn? Make hot chocolate? Bake pies? Do something with apples, pumpkins, chestnuts? Why wouldn’t you?

Danes sem prav čutila tisti jesenski vibe in zato sem med tekom razmišljala predvsem o tem, kako bo letošnja jesen fajn in zima tudi, ker sem jaz drugačna in bo vse drugačno… in kako se bom potrudila, da bom pripravila čim več jesenskih receptov, ker me to osrečuje. Všeč mi je vse, kar deluje prijetno, vse kar nam na nek način prodajajo v filmih in si čisto vsak lahko svoje življenje naredi tako prijetno, samo ljudem to niti na pamet ne pade. Zakaj ne bi imela jesenskega piknika? Skuhala goste vroče čokolade? Spekla pite? Naredila nekaj iz jabolk, buč, kostanja? Zakaj ne bi tudi ti?

… this year's Autumn will be a good time because I’m different, I’ve changed and everything will be different ...

On the way home, I was stopped by two grannies, who were looking for a pastry shop and they asked me for directions. They were so cute and kind, that I wanted to pinch their cheeks and ask them if I can be their granddaughter.

Na poti domov sta me ustavili dve babici, ki sta iskali neko slaščičarno in sta me prosili za pomoč. Bili sta tako luškani in prijazni, da bi ju najraje uščipnila za lička in ju prosila, če sem lahko njuna vnukinja.

They were so cute and kind.

I baked a crisp for the first time ... what a beautiful dessert, that is very suitable for Autumn fruits. It’s so simple to make and feels so homely as Grandma's strudel. I loved this recipe so much that I will use it many times in the future, with other fruits. I will probably use apples first. With love, Neja

Prvič sem naredila drobljenec … to lepo sladico, ki je zelo primerna za jesenske sadeže. Pa tako preprosta je in deluje tako domače, kot babičin štrudl. Recept mi je tako všeč, da ga bom naredila večkrat in z drugim sadjem. Najprej verjetno kar z jabolki. Z ljubeznijo, Neja
