Picnic!

Tonight (weather permitting) I am surprising DH with a picnic at sunset on the beach.  I'm super excited and already planning my menu! I'm thinking:

Pre-sliced cheese & crackers

Mini prosciutto sandwiches

Wine

 I'd like some sort of dessert but I can't think of what would be easy and mess-free on the beach. Any ideas?

Re: Picnic!

  • I would go with a brownie or any type of bar for dessert. You want something that's easy to carry and doesn't use a lot of silverware.

     Sounds like fun!

  • How sweet of you!

    I like the idea of the brownies..or if you have time, make some cupcakes.

    Hope you two have a wonderful time tonight!

  • How about strawberries?

    That one is AMAZING!! It says you need a canister thing I just use a plastic bag w/ a corner snipped off. You can store them in tupperware and they are OH SO TASTY!

  • Sounds fun!!  And I'm so jealous!!  Wish I had a beach out my back door!!

    I like Laurie's suggestion of the strawberries.  They are also a good aphrodisiac Stick out tongue

     Question sort of related to this:  Are you hoping this will get you in the mood for sex...since you confessed it's been a while?   Sorry I'm being nosy!

    If this is the case - maybe green M&Ms Wink  (heh, some of you may be too young to get that)

    In all seriousness - go with anything that doesn't require a spoon/fork/knife. Brownies, cookies, the strawberry thing Laurie posted looks awesome!

     First of all those strawberries look delish!

    To answer your question --- kind of? I am hoping that will be a positive side effect, but mostly I feel like I've been kind of in a funk lately and DH has been a doll about staying postive and making me smile, so I want to do something nice for him!

  • I like the idea of strawberries with the cream. You could also do chocolate-dipped strawberries. It sounds SO romantic! Enjoy :)
