Scrumptious Sunday: Picnic

Scrumptious Sunday Week #22
Theme: Picnic (National Picnic Month)
Hosted by Mercedes Rocks

Picnics are a fabulous way to spend a summer afternoon: lounging in the grass, enjoying the scenery and eating favorite foods. Keep these simple tips in mind to ensure your day is all about rest and relaxation.

* Freeze drinks the night before. Not only will your drinks stay cold the next day, they'll help keep your food chilled.
* To keep your picnic festive, bring a colorful and comfortable blanket. Extra towels can serve as pillows when sunbathing or napping.
* Set up your picnic in the shade.
* Although baskets can be quite stylish, a cooler packed with ice is safer.
* Make sure foods that are meant to be served cold are thoroughly cooled before packing.
* If you're driving, transport your cooler in the air-conditioned car, not in the trunk.
* Throw away any food that's been out of the cooler for more than an hour.

When packing a picnic, don't forget these essentials:
* Blanket
* Insect repellent
* Napkins
* Plates
* Silverware
* Serving utensils
* Cups and wine glasses
* Corkscrew or bottle opener
* Paring knife
* Cutting Board
* Condiments
* Damp wipes or cloths for washing up
* Garbage bag
