I survived Moving Day!

Presenting the longest and hottest day of my life.

We rolled out of bed at 9am, half packed, running on about three hours sleep and knowing we were supposed to be out of the flats by ten. Myself and five (now) housemates were making the transition from halls to our own privately rented accommodation on the hottest day of the year and after eight trips split between our trusty red convoy, move in we did.

There were several incidents of comical note, the type where you have to laugh otherwise you'll cry. 1) Lara hitting another car as we tried to maneuver our way through rush hour traffic 2) My flat bedroom door breaking so we couldn't get inside to get my things (cue three hour wait - fab) 3) EVERYTHING becoming hilarious around about 7pm as our mental health declined.

Come 9pm when we finally sat down in our new living room for a much welcomed Indian, we were a mess of trucker-arm-tans, aching muscles and general hysteria. Worth it though, because I love our new little home.

I'll do an updated post with fancier photography when i'm moved in properly - expect an excessive amount of fairy lights! Have any of you moved house recently and have any decor tips for my bedroom?

How to: A Girls Night In Ft. Healthy(ish) Nachos and Indulgent Brownies

Recently, myself and my two flatmates took a night off from the constant demands of Uni and nachos, brownies and rosé were on the menu. We're not your typical students, there isn't a pot noodle in sight in our kitchen and with homemade salsa and guac, we tried to health-up our classically unhealthy snacks! 

Classily-clad in onesies, we prepared a feast for Queens...

Nachos With Homemade Guac and Salsa

For the Salsa:

Tomatoes Diced

Onion Diced

Coriander Chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Pinch of Salt and Pepper

Worcestershire Sauce

Magi Sauce (if you can get it)

For the Guacamole:

2 Avacados

1 Clove of Garlic finely chopped 

Juice of 1 lime

Pinch of salt and pepper

Chili flakes

And the obvious...

Tortilla chips

Lots of grated cheese

How to:

Mix your guacamole and salsa ingredients in two separate bowls. Layer a bag of Tortilla chips on a baking tray (don't be afraid of brands like Sainsbury's Basics, they're student-budget friendly and taste just as good with a blanket of cheese), grate a generous layer of cheese over the top and then pop under the grill until the cheese has melted. Leave the nachos to cool for a few minutes before topping with your pre-prepared guac and salsa.

When it came to the brownies all we wanted was something gooey and indulgent and so we relied on this tried and tested recipe. They turned out to be just the right combination of sickly, moist and moreish, However, do not underestimate how long it takes to sift in the flour, this may just be our amateurish abilities but it was definitely a two man job!

I can't take credit for the salsa and guacamole recipes as my friend was nacho-chef, while I was on the brownie team - not that i'm complaining. 

Now all that was left was to grab the wine, start up Netflix and watch our food babies grow. (Embrace it!)
