Sliced provolone cheese.

A new pot.

We saved stamps to get a discount. $25 CDN for something called profiselect by a company called WMF. It's my first pot in a long while - I have Tramontina which have lasted since college to now.

I bought a 1TB hard drive with USB3, a case to put it and its cord into, two 8GB flash drives and a notebook with three sections - I hope that's enough to start with.

Nice.

German, WMF makes Silit also. I have a Silit pot that's at least 20 yrs old...one of my very favorites.

A lot of gluten free food from the first comfortable supermarket I've found in Montreal.

They had U.S. brands and four - no - five different kinds of gluten free cake. Except for the glaring lack of raisin choices, I was very happy. They also had organic hearts of romaine - a favorite treat of mine.
Cookies and cake mix and GF toaster pastries. They had different varieties of tofu - the other stores here had none at all. They had the GF ramen that I have been buying on Amazon and driving to the U.S. to pick up (not just the ramen, other packages as well). The overhead music was in English and they had free indoor parking even though they were close to downtown.

Close to downtown meant big bags of cans and the smell of homeless laundry, but it wasn't prevalent. The staff was completely multicultural. And they had a huge Godiva display. Made me wish I still ate chocolate.

Drive through the rain at 1 in the morning for ice cream and something to make a sandwich out of.  Ended up with salami and chocolate ice cream.  From the look by the cashier I sort of thought he was thinking, "She's too old to be pregnant."  I'm sure I would have totally freaked him out if I'd chosen the pistachio almond ice cream.

A chocolate cake which was 1/3 eaten while sitting in bed, sipping coffee and re-re-re-reading London by Rutherfurd.
