PICNIC!
I love it when the New York Times comes up with quick culinary fixes like their 101 20-Minute Dishes for Inspired Picnics. The KoE and I love picnics.
I’m in charge of salads for my mother’s rooftop Fourth of July celebration. I think I’ll make…
Number 12: Slice a few bulbs of fennel and some tart apples; dice some jicama. Toss together with freshly chopped tarragon, basil or chervil (if you can find it), olive oil, salt, lots of pepper and lemon juice. Celery is good in this, too, as are oranges and cheeses, especially sheep’s cheeses.
Spread that blanket and get out into the sunshine, single mothers. Picnics are a great, inexpensive change of scenery. Put a bottle of bubbles into your basket and there you go… instant magic.
