Hey all, my gf and i of 6 months are going tomorrow for a picnic, AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO:(:( I usually take girls out for movies, clubbing etc, but im a bit lost here, and it doesnt help that ive never been on a picnic in my life. We are going around 830 ish if that helps, and i really wanna see her happy.

any cute ideas, food suggestions (easy to prep-healthy etc)?

Well if it's romantic occasion, I would bring foods that don't require utensils, so you can feed each other. :o
Can't go wrong with some strawberries, chocolate and a bottle of wine.
(may not be the healthiest choices, but sometimes you have to make exceptions)
I actually suprised my GF with an indoor picnic (http://img225.echo.cx/img225/8196/picnic9rk.jpg) a while back. I think women appreciate the effort more than anything.

Are you going at 8:30 in the morning or at night?

Oh yeah, don't forget the blanket. (clean preferred)

If you guys like italian food, here are a few suggestions:

- some good italian bread
- tomato and buffalo milk mozzarella with basil pesto (http://renfarm.com/mozzarella__tomato_and_basil_pesto_salad)
- a good chianti red wine

dessert: panna cotta (http://whatscookingamerica.net/PannaCotta.htm) with fresh, home made strawberry jam (just get some fresh strawberries, dice'em, put'em in a pot, add sugar to taste and bring to boil, then chill)

that recipe is pretty good and super simple to make, but make sure to use vanilla pod, not extract. And add the juice of 1/2 lime. It's AMAZING!!!

Good luck :tu:
