the good old days

Louise of Months of Edible Celebrations has invited us to a picnic, and we are only too happy to attend. It’s not a particularly real picnic; instead, a bunch of bloggers are getting together and playing the Picnic game, and sharing recipes with a particular letter.

If you’re not familiar with the Picnic Game, it’s a great way to kill time on roadtrips. Somebody starts with, “I’m going on a picnic, and I’m going to bring [food starting with A]“. The next player has to bring “[A-food], and [B-food]“, the next person brings “[A-food], [B-food], and [C-food]” — remembering what the first player chose for the menu, and adding their own contribution at the end. You keep going through the alphabet until somebody can’t remember the previous dozen or so dishes… or, preferably, you arrive at your destination. (Months of Edible Celebrations has a more complete description, including detailed rules of how to play it online with a bunch of bloggers.)

I got the letters E and F, and I promised to NOT bring “frankfurters in gelatin with hardboiled eggs and celery” (or soup shakes, which luckily aren’t my letter anyway). Stay tuned for the dishes.
