Ten On Tuesday

May 21, 2013 By Carole

Yesterday I read this blog post and it totally inspired me to come up with this week’s Ten on Tuesday topic: 10 Favorite Things To Bring on a Picnic. Because, really, who doesn’t love a picnic? And picnic weather is upon us, my friends! So, let’s go on a picnic.

  1. Dale. Okay, he’s not a thing but I wouldn’t want to go on a picnic without him.
  2. My Longaberger Picnic Basket. Way back, a million years ago, I fell in love with this basket but there was no way I could afford $100 to buy it back then. So I had my first Longaberger party just so I could get it. It has served me well ever since.
  3. One of my handmade quilts. They are meant to be used, to be thrown on the ground and snuggled up in and all other manners abuse. I can always make more.
  4. Fried chicken. Greasy and messy but absolutely my favorite thing to eat on a picnic.
  5. Potato salad. It goes so perfectly with #3.
  6. Brownies. The perfect picnic desert – chocolate, fabulous and portable.
  7. Beer and wine. The choice between these would depend on the time of year and time of day. Wine for late in the season and day, beer for a hot summer afternoon. I’m sure you get the idea.
  8. Berries. Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries – they are the perfect picnic snack.
  9. My mini ipod speaker. I got this to bring to Mexico and it’s perfect for portable music. And what’s a picnic without some romantic music?
  10. A book. Maybe poetry, maybe prose, something we could read aloud to each other.

I’m ready now – let’s go!

    Your picnics are story book and PERFECT. Laying on one of your quilts, eating berries, drinking wine, and watching the sky go by…that would be heaven.

    Good thing I can’t reach through the screen, I’d be appropriating that gorgeous quilt. Those colors really have the zing of a summer day, too!

    I love my Longaberger picnic basket too. Right now I have to hide it away so my son’s cat doesn’t scratch at it, but otherwise I even keep it out as decoration most of the time.

    what Kym said 🙂 I’m not a great picnic person, but this week’s topic might inspire me to try it. first up, I need a basket!

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
