The sun is there, a day to celebrate together too. And why not do it on a flowery meadow? Some may risk a lunch by the sea, others will admire the mountains, but there is also good news for the citizens. just a checkered tablecloth and even the park near home can turn into the ideal location to spend a different day from the usual.
And just to make sure everything is perfect, before choosing the right recipes, let's review the 5 rules of the picnic.
The comfort
Even the most Spartan will have to organize themselves to make the outdoor lunch comfortable and pleasant. A large towel that allows all diners to sit, a few cushions to make the seat more comfortable and a small awning to offer shade to the little ones in the warm hours are the right equipment to set up the lunch. If you then have camping tables and chairs, it can be the right occasion to use them, including camp beds!
Freshness
There is no good picnic without refreshing drinks. And to make sure you always have cold water, soft drinks, beer and wine, you can't miss the indispensable cooler bag. To prolong the effects of the fresh, we also bring a couple of iced water bottles: they will be precious to maintain the right temperature inside the bag.
Cutlery
Pass the disposable plates, but on the cutlery it is necessary to make a leap in quality. Using metal forks and knives will make the meal more enjoyable as well as offering us very practical weights to keep the dishes still. You won't want to spend the day chasing flying saucers …
The coffee
After a good lunch, what you need is the aroma of a coffee. Let's prepare it already sweetened and pour it into a thermos also bringing the special glasses. Diners will love it!
Add a seat "at the table"
If some lunches are challenging with growing guests, the beauty of the picnic is that it invites us to share freely with friends and family. We invite everyone. The more we are, the more fun it will be.
