I’m at home in bed today (day off work) with bad period cramps and all I want is my mum’s homemade tomato soup with warm crusty bread covered in lashings of butter.
My OH’s apple crumble would go down nicely right now too.
What do you crave when you’re feeling sorry for yourself? Or when you just fancy something that you really enjoy?

Tuna macaroni, made with tinned tuna in oil, tinned condensed tomato soup and cooked penne pasta (NOT macaroni, surprisingly) all heated up together with cheese on top, or if I feel really bad Farleys rusks (the proper ones with sugar in) mixed smooth with lots of hot milk. I can't believe nobody has said Farleys rusks yet!!!!!
