Well hot chocolate always warms me up. I buy options hot chocolate which is really nice and you can make it with either milk of water depending on how you like it. I am sure you could make your own but I am too lazy to do that!
When its freezing,damp and dank - I like to grab a hot drink (tea or options chocolate...ahhh they are lush ..I LOVE the white chocolate one!) and snuggle up in my bed and eat cookies. Foods like soup with pasta, pizzas (oh bog off uni student here) and hot puddings are comfort foods for me! ^_^
If you've got a slow cooker, before you go out in the morning chuck in ingredients for a stew (meat, veg etc) or a curry, then it'll slowly cook all day and you'll come back home to a lush smelling house and really comforting food
Anyways, potato and leek soup is divine - my friend's mum makes it amazingly well.
Don't worry -Emmz-, I take it they're not used to the heat
How was your trip down to Oz?
I'm having an awesome time, going to the snow next week after I get back from Brisbane, I can't wait! ! I love it, and the mornings spent discovering the different flavours of porridge hehe.
