It's not that bad now, but it was so nasty at 7:00 this morning that I just stayed here. :hi:

18. Fire. Cognac. Tylenol #3 I save for just such occasions
And then a suitably "frozen" feeling slow movie: 2001, Last Year at Marienbad, Johnny Guitar, Eraserhead, Seventh Seal, etc. (Somehow, B&W suites the mood better to me, I don't know why).

But alas I live in south Louisiana and now I do such things when it's merely chilly in my former life and/or I'm home sick (like today...)

Cozy is as cozy does.

19. Roast a turkey breast, or make lasagna, or make stew.
Nothing like a home-cooked piping hot meal for days like these.
