Now I Need A Punch Bowl

Mel Torme
Born: Sept 13, 1925
Died: June 5, 1999

Joe has something of an infatuation with the late great Mel Torme, who would have been 90 this September. We've been talking about having a birthday party for the Velvet Fog, with music, drinks and dishes from the crooner's heyday. "We'll definitely make up a few pitchers of a Velvet Fog drink...oooh, maybe a punch bowl to fit the era!" You guys, I've been looking for an excuse to get a punch bowl for a long time. My justification at last!

"And fondue. Fondue-bee-doo-bee-doo. What else..."

"Encase something in Jello." Well, no...no Jello mold or in fact mold of any kind. We'll put out a Facebook poll for ideas that aren't revolting.
