snow emergency provisions

three nights ago a blizzard clamped itself over the city and held us all in its swirling white throat. this year that kind of storm has been infrequent. snow hissed against the windows, wind chimes were throttled in gusty gales and the roads swarmed with snow.

no one could get out or about, hopefully all who needed to get in could. roads were closed, drifts leaned. bottles of wine were opened and pots of chocolate put on, midnight sledding escapades ensued. all good things.

except at this house, where the larder was lean and discouraging. but in the face of a weather event one has to be celebratory! so practicality was thrown to the wind, and a frivolous, chocolate chip strewn dinner for one was flipped about on the stove.

come on snow!
