Millet Bircher Balls with Baked Fruits

I’ve been thinking what to write about in this post. So much is happening and the time passes so fast that sometimes I just wish to sit down and do nothing. This year has been so fast. I remember sitting with friends on New Year Eve, making plans for this one. I was supposed to improve my German, this time for sure – failure. I was supposed to make two private projects – nothing yet. But what I did was traveling a lot and experiencing. Obviously working a lot on the way. But going back to experiencing, I have a feeling that I forgot how amazing it is to get to know new things. Last weekend I flew to London for a screening of a movie about food
. It was kind of my reward for a workshop in Portugal (I rewarded myself) and I didn’t really have much of expectations. I ended up getting to know amazing people and having the most untypical dinner experience – Imagine eating beautiful meal with the lights down, the sounds of a forest and mist on your table. Magic. And it happened in London baby!

Then this weekend was a cleaning the apartment horror on Saturday (I mean spring cleaning and I went room by room). My apartment looks like a mess right now, but I rewarded myself again. I took Mia and Tomasz on a trip. We’ve visited places which are behind a corner and I had no idea that they exist, like a bee keeper’s garden, where I tried a freshly produced by bees honey (OMG it’s so amazing)! Again, I had no expectations. I think that this is when the magic happens, when you have no expectations and you’re open for whatever will come. I had so much fun and I even had a chance to wear a hat that protects you against angry bees, just like in movies :D. It’s so beautiful to discover new things. I’m going to check out what else is happening in the Berlin’s area and not only this spring/summer. I want Mia to see, feel, taste and enjoy. And I want to do it as well. I made around 40km on a bike today, first time since Mia was born (she’s 1,5 year old) and my back hates me but my heart sings. I got so inspired, that I’m sitting in front of my computer and writing down ideas. So… if you have a chance to visit a beekeeper or a tea maker or a public garden where you can go and talk to people, do it.

The weekend is a busy time of the week. Especially when spring starts to behave like a spring and it’s warm and sunny outside. This is when it’s great to prepare a nice breakfast in advance. Something like this delicious balls. In the morning I baked fruits, which takes about 15-10 minutes (just right for a shower) and then… you’re full, happy and ready for the day. I saw the recipe for baked plums in The Bondi Harvest book and it looked too good not to try it, so here it goes.
