Thankful Thursday

First things first, the BEDM challenge for today is a moment in your day. Today was a pretty dull day to be doing this; I went to work, did work, came home for work. A friend of my flatmate, who I also know from the office, came over and we all watched The Hunger Games. But honestly the highlight of the day was...this epic chili with garlic bread.

I must remember to post the recipe for this bad boy! It's is seriously delicious and even better served with garlicky bread goodness. I cobbled this recipe together myself when I was in my first year of university and was missing some of the usual chili ingredients. Its cheap to make, its fiery, it's....it's making me drool just writing this. So cooking and eating this is the moment I choose to share with you guys today.

Onwards with the thankfulness - it is Thursday after all. How quick do these posts come around by the way!? (Hint: the answer is super quick.) I think the awesomeness of the bank holiday weekend down in Aberystwyth, frolicking in the sun with Elliot and my other uni peeps, made this week disappear like a shot. Already can't wait to be back there in a month and for a whole week. Hellooooooo annual leave, you absolute beaut! Other things I'm thankful for this week:

Drunken reunions with old friends

Sambuca flavoured courage to dance like a crazy person

Pints in the sun

 Early morning trains which can get me across the country before midday

My mothership who is willing to wander around moors in the rain on her weekend to help me with the ol' dissertation

Huggles with the boy (who just became an uncle - exciting times!!)

Cinnamon yogurt icing

BBC iplayer

Summer planning

The excitement of next summer's cruise (ahhhhh!)

Making new friends
