Picnicking Like a Pro

There just something about sunshine and warm weather that makes me want to eat outside for all meals. Even cooking entire meals out of doors is okay by me in the summer time. Maybe it's my Canadian sensibility that feels the heat is fleeting and must be enjoyed outside until the last ray of sun is hidden below the horizon or maybe I was a squirrel in a former life, either way give me a grill and a picnic any day and I'm one happy girl.

Proper picnicking, however, can be a tricky endeavor so here are some steps to picnicking like a pro.

Step 1:
Find and acquire an impossibly quaint and utterly impractical wicker basket.

Step 2:

Buy much too much food for two people and possibly items that quickly turn when left in direct sun.

Step 3: 

Finally after dragging your very heavy, impractical, yet quaint picnic basket across town, join the throngs of people in a sunny park on a weekend afternoon.

Step 4:

Forget to bring any kind of reading material or form of entertainment. Send someone off to buy a newspaper and then read to each other about the current economic climate and the 10 day weather forecast.

Step 5:

Eventually pack up, but only after you have relocated about 5 times in order to remain in the sunny bits, and head home. 

Step 6:

Once home, eat the remaining items (not melted from the sun) from your picnic and declare the day a great success.
