Planning a surprise for someone's birthday.
Involves a picnic - so what makes a really good lunch in a cool box?
I'm trying to be veggie but the siren voice of kedgeree calls me for picnics (yes, even cold).
Some good bread and mushroom pate. I have some fizz and dips/crudites. Twiglets. A sleection of cheeses and apples. A cold roast chicken for the meaties?
Rugs, knives and forks, plates, soft drinks, tumblers, napkins. Sunscreen, antihistamine cream. Swimmers and towel (we're going by "boat").
Pimms?
Stuffed mushrooms, olives, artichoke hearts and hollandaise. Grilled peppers and courgettes. Dolmadakia. Oh, and gherkins. Did I mention twiglets?
Fruit salad, perhaps some cherries. Shortbread.
Something to snack - twiglets maybe.
Water.
Sounds a bit light. Ideas? There's 4 of us.
