In Da ‘hood part deux

Funny how things come about. We have been talking about having a picnic dinner all summer long but it has never happened. Now when we are super busy preparing for this trip and having lots to do a at work before we leave on Tuesday we somehow managed to finally pull it off. I guess the pieces just kinda fell into place.

We decided we would not cook Sunday night but get a roasted chicken from the store. We would use up whatever food we had in the house. We always have bits and pieces to pull together something. We knew that we wanted to take a walk to see the sunset and somehow it only made sense to combine the sunset with dinner and voila, the picnic was in full swing! The perfect neighborhood location was Betty Bowen park

Arugula+avocado+one purple plum = a yummy salad! Little potatoes sprinkled with fresh mint and broccoli and toasted garlic butter and of course our roasted chichen which I pre-cut for ease. A clandestine bottle of red wine. We were very happy and found our new “dining room” one that we would definitely return to! Note to self: next time do not forget plates (at least we had silverware…)! As you might guess I am going to say, even without plates, it was still extremely cozy! I forgot to mention the sunset, the reason we had our picnic to begin with!
