Picnic, Yay! ^_^


I've been meaning to post these photos for the longest time. A few weeks back, I threw Zubair a surprise picnic as part of his birthday present. But it was pouring rain that afternoon when I arrived at his doorstep, picnic basket in hand.

So we did the next logical thing, and had a picnic in his living room :)

I actually prefer indoor picnics. This way you don't have to deal with nature and all the other external elements...bugs, noise, sun, etc. Heheheh.

On the Menu:

- Tristar Strawberries (Greenmarket)
- Blueberries (Greenmarket)
- Chocolate Pudding (Sarabeth's)
- Corn & Avocado Salad (made it myself :)
- Prosecco (Astor Wines)
- Tuscan Ring (Amy's Bread)
- Cured Meats: Prosciutto, Coppa, Mortadella, and Bresaola (Murray's)
- Cheese: Cana Oveja, Morbier, and Smoked Cheddar (Murray's and Whole Foods)

It took two days and quite a bit of assembling to get everything together, but it was well worth it. The wooden basket is from the Chelsea Market. And the "picnic cloth" is just a simple tablecloth.

Nothing like picnicking inside, while it pours rain just out the window. I must say, it was a pretty awesome spread and a very lovely afternoon ^_^

Hi Kathy,

What a charming and lovely birthday surprise! + you don't have to deal with the surprise "pies" from the sky, too.
