"2 TBSP." BROWNIE IN A MUG.

I call this the "2 tbsp." brownie because you put 2 tablespoons of all the main ingredients in, and also I always use 2 different tablespoons while making it. Wildly imaginative name, I know. What I don't know is why I haven't made this post before, because I make these bad boyz really often (more often than I should, probably) and have all but perfected the recipe. Thus, I present to you my mug brownie recipe. Don't worry, it's fudgy and definitely not cakey.

AUTUMN? MORE LIKE AUSUMN, AMIRITE?!

How's that title for a pun, huh? I've been trying to think of a title for ages and that was the best I could come up with so for that I do apologise, I admit that it's not my best work.

Anyway, allow me to preface this post with a little bit of contextual information. For most of my life I've said that summer is my favourite season. After all, it's got my birthday/no school/warm weather etc., but somehow over the past few years this title has slowly shifted to autumn. 'Why?' I hear some of you ask. My dear friends, I am about to tell you exactly why. Enough with the dilly-dallying, let's get to it. I present to you: A Celebration of All Things Autumn (and the very beginnings of winter, but not The Deep Dark Depths of Winter, because that feels like a frozen hell on Earth and none of these points apply at that stage because I am verging on hypothermia). (I'm just saying 'autumn' for now because it's slightly catchier.)

MONTHLY FAVOURITES: SEPTEMBER 2015.

Ah. It's nearly two weeks into October and I'm only just uploading my "September Favourites". Better late than never...right? On another note, look how ugly the graphic is this month, it seems really empty for some reason.

FAVOURITE PLACES TO DRINK IN LONDON.

With the relative success of my Favourite Cafés in London post I decided to continue in a similar vein and offer you my wisdom in the form of a new post. For the benefit of my loyal readers (all five of you) (three of whom are underage) I have risked bankruptcy to compile a small list of my favourite places to drink in London. Enjoy. Drink responsibly. Do not blame me for any drunken misdemeanours that may or may not occur after having read this list.

QUICK APPLE CRUMBLE.

One of my all-time favourite desserts is apple crumble, and a couple of months ago I took sudden inspiration to make it in the microwave because I knew I couldn't be bothered to wait for it to cook in the oven. In true Giordizzle fashion I scrambled together a makeshift recipe and checked a few things online to make sure it wouldn't go totally wrong, and it worked out alright! There were a couple of things I wanted to tweak so since then I've had to make it again a few more times (poor me, how tragic) so that I could have a definitive recipe for you to follow. You're welcome.

5 MINUTE CARROT CAKE.

I love baked goods, and I love minimal washing up, so when I discovered that mug cakes were a thing a few years ago, it opened the door to a world of opportunity.

The other day my housemate made cinnamon rolls and there was some cream cheese icing left in the fridge just asking to be eaten. I decided to try a mug carrot cake as I was pretty sure I had all the ingredients I would need. I looked at a few recipes and adapted them to my personal taste. I've tried out variations of a recipe a few times just so I could get the most perfect result to show you guys. I know, I know, sometimes it just has to be done - someone's gotta take one for the team. My final recipe is SO TASTY and I'm super pleased with it, so if you're a cake-lover like me, please try it out and let me know how it goes!

EGGCELLENT.

Back again with a little blog update for you! A bl-egg update? Nah that was atrocious, sorry.

I recently posted a photo on Instagram of some poached eggs I made and weirdly, a few of my friends messaged me with comments about eggs. (Conversations between kids these days are absolutely wild, aren't they?) I eat a lot of eggs largely because I'm too poor to be the carnivore I so desperately desire to be, and so have to get my protein cheaply from elsewhere. While they're not sticky barbecue ribs or roasted lamb, eggs are pretty great anyway, and very versatile. I often make poached eggs because they're not only simple but healthy too. 

FAVOURITE CAFÉS IN LONDON.

Well would you look at that? I'm back! Again! The outlook for this blog is not so bleak this time around. Recently my friends and I went to the Cereal Killer Café in Shoreditch and it inspired me to make a post, so here I stand today, writing a little compilation I've been working on of cute cafés I've come across in London.

RAMBLING AND A RECIPE.

Hello, I have returned, and only a week after my last post (which, in my history, really isn't so bad.)

I've been pretty busy this week; meeting one of my favourite musicians (check it out you guys), saying goodbye to my American friend who was visiting us (we miss you already Steph!), organising my wardrobe and shoe cupboard, and finally applying to French universities for Study Abroad in September (more on that to come).

Here's a photo of aforementioned shoes. Revel in the organisation.

However, I have finally sat down and decided to write a few little posts. First up: a recipe!
