It's so flipping cold in Ottawa I'm under house arrest -- asthma and minus 29 Celsius don't mix. Out of sheer boredom, I'm eating my way through a loaf of Edmund's French bread ... Toasted slice with peanut butter and strawberry-and-rhubarb jam. Yessss.

Cold roast beef with mustard on it for supper, with rather a lot of broccoli. And a glass of wine.
