Snow Day!! Bananbrød og Varmt Smør Rom!!

I don't know much Danish but for some reason I feel like its more fun to talk about food in this language. Similarly, I like expressing the past-perfect tense in spanish. ANYWAYS, today it snowed all over DC and for once cocaine wasn't involved. I enjoyed myself by studying for finals andddd indulging in homemade vegan banana bread plus hot buttered rum (hopefully my translation was OK).
I make a small loaf of banana bread just big enough to warm two bellies on cold winter mornings. I mush up 2 bananas and then add 1/4 cup melted Earth Balance and coconut oil mixed together (oil optional), 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbs water to mimic an egg, lots of cinnamon, tiny pinch of salt, 1 tsp baking soda + 1 tsp baking powder, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1 cup flour. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or so and voila! afternoon delight
I recently came into the possession of some hot buttered rum mix from Whole Foods. Mix this with 1 tbs melted Earth Balance, 3/4 cup water, and a bit of rum and afternoon delight turns into late afternoon slumber. OR nix the rum, use vanilla almond milk instead of water and sip a seasonal treat everyone can enjoy.
