hot pot recipe

slices of beef
and lamb
and fish balls, which
always requires a joke or two.
all swimming in two pots
one with chicken bullion
another
the hot hell broth of szechuan spices
all wrapped up in a cozy room
on a cold winter's night.

but most importantly
the friends
the family
the laughter that ensues
joke after joke
story after story

until another day
