What do you do on a snow-night Saturday? Invite some friends who can walk to your house for an evening of punch and poetry, of course!
Earlier in the day, I put together a beef-barley soup:
And made the fondue (recipe here: Cheese Fondue!)
Sam stayed up late enough to do a puzzle with our guests:
Cheers, everybody! 
Fondue!
And Kris and Tom brought over the rum punch from a recipe I’d put in the paper on Wednesday. What a treat! (Recipe here: Rum Spice Punch.)
A few poems. I read part of “Ode to an Artichoke,” by Pablo Neruda.
What fun!
Merry snow storm!
