Life of a Short Indian Girl

Is it just me who thinks time has been going SO fast recently? It feels like just yesterday we were complaining about having to knuckle down with our personal statements. I suppose it's good on the one hand because the week doesn't drag so much, but exams and the prospect of university life are getting scarily close.

I went for brownies, because I was really feeling the chocolate vibes, and I actually haven't made them before. I realised half way through making the batter that we only had 1 egg in the house.... and no walnuts... and I had forgotten to melt the butter. So I slightly adapted the recipe and braced myself for a potential disaster.  But I'm not even joking, they turned out amazing! Gooey, soft and reeeaallly chocolatey. SO, here is my (by default) unique recipe: 200g caster sugar, 125g butter, 30g cocoa powder, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch of baking powder, pinch of salt and some milk chocolate to crush up/chocolate buttons/nuts/whatever you want ...
