This will be our 5th (?) year at the play and we have it pretty dialed in. Arrive very early, bring plenty of sunblock, the Sunday paper, inflatable sleeping pads & water and nab a spot in the shade.
- Plates- Iconic American china patterns in the convenience of tin plates!
- Spreader - Laguiole brings some extra flair to the picnic cheese.
- Truffle mustard - A favorite guest at several of our annual affairs.
- Roast chicken - Cold roast chicken is the easiest picnic food. I usually buy two at Whole Foods, but this recipe from Australia looks delicious too.
- Bottles - So convenient from Ikea. We pack them filled with mint and lemon and then refill on the mountain.
- Basket - From my dad!
- Bread - Pain epi from Acme bread turns the chicken into little sandwiches.
- Cloth - A vintage printed tablecloth from Etsy for only $14 ties it all together.
- Cakes - Baked right in their own caning jars!
Aw, I remember picking out that basket with Dad for you! He was totally right, you would love/use it. Have a blast :)
ReplyDeleteI really love this little assemblage! So charming and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a type of inflatable sleeping pad you would recommend? I love that idea.
ReplyDeleteWe use our older set from REI, along these lines. They make a cozy couch on the rock steps.
ReplyDeleteWe want to go!
ReplyDeleteJordan - Come with us! Our tickets are for 6/17. Rebecca and Derek are planning to come too :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a prefect picnic basket and those plates are lovely. I would definitely add reusable napkins, that got me a lot of compliments during picnics last summer, even when the picnic itself was store bought, and is so much nicer to use.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
