picnic

This weekend, boyfriend and I drove 250 miles to visit some friends in another city.

For the drive, we brought some leftover phad thai & fruit. When we stopped for gas, we used the gas station micorwave to re-heat the food, then took a beach towel to a grassy area. Impromptu picnic! It felt very sweet and special, despite being simple.

My DH claims we have never gone on a real picnic, I guess he is right. I would like to try to do this before winter gets here this year, and the weather forecast is really good for the upcoming weekend. Now I need to think of a yummy meal to take along…..

We had a picnic on a hike this weekend. It counts, although it isn’t what I have in mind for this goal. I want the picnic to be the main attraction, not just gross sandwiches (realized I was out of mayo and mustard after I already opened the can of tuna, had to use dijon and sweet relish) that were smashed in my day pack.

Attempt #1: Wind Fail

I could hardly walk outside, attempting to eat out there would have resulted in salad all over the state. We ate in the car.

The meal wasn’t as awesome as I’m going for either. I should change the name to picnic well, or picnic often or something like that.
