there are picnics, and there are picnics

Next Friday, Alan will be visiting (hooray!) and we're going to the Talcott Mountain Music Festival with my friends Bob and Karen.

I've volunteered to take care of dinner...here's the menu:

* Olive Oil and Thyme goat cheese from Rawson Brook Farm in Monterey, MA
* D'Artagnan Pork-Free Mousse Truffee (for a non-mammal eater like, me, finding this stuff is like striking gold!)
* White Bean Dip with Crudités
* Assorted Olives
* Focaccia or some other yummy bread TBD
* Pesto Grilled Shrimp
* Corn, Tomato, and Basil Salad
* Pine Nut Tart
* Sauvignon Blanc or Fumé Blanc TBD

The sitter is lined up; Alan is bringing back my beloved table in a bag, after a three year loan; and I've sewed a tablecloth and napkins, if you can believe it! I'm ready with citronella candles, melamine table ware, and beach chairs. I'll get an unbreakable vase this week.

I am so looking forward to this. If only the weather cooperates.
