Hi
As the post says I have a craving for fresh figs no I'm not pregnant thank goodness that I could not cope with at 50!
Wonder if its my body saying its good for Arthur! Not read any studies on the benefits of figs and Arthur maybe I should!
Have any of you had other cravings?
Maria :)

    Nothing wrong with fresh figs. Just come around, I still have some on the trees.
    I think everybody has a craving from time to time. And normally the object of the craving is not available at the right moment. That makes cravings so interestingly frustrating, I think.

    My brother's had a glut of figs this year. Don't eat them all at once though, Maria. They are an excellent remedy for constipation :lol:

    I think cravings happen for one of two reasons - either your body needs it or you are addicted to it. Maybe there is something in figs that you need just now. I have just been in to the kitchen to make a chicken sandwich and felt desperate for some water but I was trying to convince myself to have a cup of tea. Then I told myself, have the water if that's what you really want. I'm so used to putting the kettle on. I am now enjoying a lovely cold glass of water. :D

    I'm sorry and probably I'm simply a bit daft: What is wrong with k......? You know, the room in the house where we usually prepare our meals. I'm a bit at a loss here :?: I told you, I'm probably daft.... But you should not forget- I'm a foreigner. We tend to be a bit simple :)

    Oufh! Thank you, Maria! I really thought something dark and esoteric was going on! :) Well- "cooking-corner- companies" can be considered as dark and esoteric, can't they? The "c-c-c" clan, so to say.
    You still on the fig trip?
