CREATE THE
PERFECT PICNIC
Dining outdoors
Picnics are relaxing ways to enjoy an informal
meal in the great outdoors. Certain gear can
make a picnic even more enjoyable.
is a popular way
to enjoy a meal.
Many restaurants set up
tables outside of their establishments
or in nearby
courtyards when the
weather warms. There is
an indescribable quality to
sipping a drink or taking a bite to eat while the sun is shining and
the breeze is blowing.
Al fresco dining need not be a complicated affair. In fact, picnics
are an informal outdoor meal and can be quite enjoyable. There’s
nothing pretentious about a picnic, and setting one up requires just
a few essentials to make the picnic go smoothly. Here’s a look at
what to bring along for the ultimate picnic experience.
• Blanket: For picnic purists, enjoying a picnic requires being
close to the ground. That necessitates some sort of protection from
damp grass or sandy conditions. If possible, choose a waterproof
picnic blanket that moisture cannot permeate. A blanket that folds
up easily and has its own carrying case can be especially convenient.
• Insulated tote: Although an old-fashioned wicker picnic basket
may be on brand for a picnic, opting for an insulated tote bag or
cooler-like container will help keep the food and beverages at the
preferred temperature. Make sure to have plenty of ice packs on
hand to keep the picnic tote contents chilled.
• Reusable plates and utensils: Those who plan to make picnicking
more than just a once-in-a-blue-moon event would be wise
to invest in some picnic products. Durable and reusable picnic
utensils, plates and drinking cups help make dining outside more
comfortable.
• Trash bags: Always carry out what you’ve carried in, whether
you’re going to a park, beach or a hiking trail. That means having
something to carry trash out so it can be properly disposed of.
• Corkscrew: If wine or beer will be part of the picnic offerings,
make sure to have a corkscrew and bottle opener at the ready.
• Sanitizing wipes: Proper hygiene is essential for handling picnic
fare, which tends to be sandwiches or fi nger foods. Therefore,
bring along hand sanitizer or sanitizing wipes to clean hands before
the meal, especially if restrooms aren’t nearby.
• Cloth napkins: Cloth napkins have more weight to them than
paper napkins, which means they’re less likely to blow away in
the breeze. Invest in a set of inexpensive cloth napkins for dining
outside. Simply drop them in the washing machine to clean up
after the picnic is done.
• Storage containers: Whether it’s in bento-style boxes or individual
snap/lock lid plastic containers, food should be packaged
securely so there are no spills on the way to the picnic area.
• Sun protection: Be sure to bring along sunscreen, widebrimmed
hats and sunglasses to protect oneself from the sun while
enjoying the picnic. A portable umbrella can be staked into the
ground to provide some shade. |
