So today is International Picnic Day. I’m going to be honest with you. I’d never heard of it until I saw the writing prompt for today’s post sponsored by the SITSgirls Stop the Summer Slump Challenge. Of course, I had to Google it to learn more about it. When I did, I was surprised to see that it was listed as one of The World’s Special Days. It’s not that it’s any different from a regular picnic. It’s a day set aside for everyone in the whole world to just relax in fellowship.
Well that doesn’t
seem too hard. Only problem is, it feels
like South Carolina has moved closer to the equator this week with our heat
indices in the triple digits. I am doing
all I can to stay cool by not going outside this week. So no outdoor picnics for me. Maybe I can plan an indoor one. Do I have enough time to get friends
over? Although its summer, many of my
friends are still working. I am also
working a few hours a week, so I may not be able to pull this off.
So what would I
serve for my indoor picnic? I definitely
want to keep it basic. I could make some
turkey sandwiches cut into 4 bite sized pieces.
Maybe some crackers or pita chips with cheese or hummus. That’s always a hit. Oh, my pepperoni skewers. So easy to make. Just slide pepperoni and chunks of cheese
onto a toothpick. Maybe a bowl of olives and I would definitely
need some nuts as a filler food. And to
wash it all down, a few bottles of red and white wine. That should do the trick.
Now, who am I
kidding? I will not be able to pull this
off tonight. It’s not about getting the
food prepared, but everyone…including myself, has too much going on at this
time to get together. Well, I would have
to say that international picnic day will have to be celebrated another
year. Next year, it is on a Saturday;
June 18th to be exact. Since
I am now aware of it, I can definitely be more prepared for it. Who knows?
Maybe PopUp Charleston will be held on that day next year. J
