Wednesday Worries

 

A little wisdom I stumbled across browsing Making Magique. It's important to keep perspective sometimes because when you're in your twenties it's so easy to feel totally over whelmed. We're working hard to get the careers we've dreamed of, trying to balance that with having a life and maintaining friendships, all the while panicking that we wont make rent, won't pay that student debt off on time, aren't traveling enough or aren't having enough fun. It's tricky, it's confusing, and it can be (even though all the evidence points to the contrary) a little lonely. 

But it's normal. It's all totally normal. Chin up kids, we'll make it.

Boppins Bakes: Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Sometimes you just need cake. Chocolate chip with buttercream icing to be precise.

125g butter, creamed together with 125g sugar. Gradually mix in 2 lightly beaten eggs, then fold in 125g self raising flour. Add a generous teaspoon of cocoa powder and a heap of chocolate chips before baking at 180c for 15-20 minutes. Top with buttercream icing when cool and if you feel the urge (like I did) garnish the plate with strawberries. Voila!

So good that I accidentally ate three for breakfast. Ah well.
