It's summer time and our family meal would usually be bbqed hamburgers and hotdogs. My wife and I wanted something different. Having a picnic at the park is something we haven't done for a few years. Picnic food is fun and means your not cooking when everyone gets there, everyone is just hanging out together and having fun. We have had some great picnics so we looked at doing it again. Forecast said, not a good idea because, it is calling for rain. Sometimes you just have to go with the idea in another way.
Just because it is going to be raining doesn't mean we can't have a picnic. We can have the picnic food and just have it in the house. One of the best picnics we had was about 20 years ago, so we decided to kind of recreate that with the food.
For that picnic about 20 years ago we had cold fried chicken, coleslaw, and potato salad. Our family was a lot smaller then and so was the amount of chicken. This time it was 40 pieces, which took awhile to cook Saturday. Cold fried chicken is one of the few things made with chicken that I don't dislike, rest of the family likes any kind of chicken. Nice part of our picnic supper was my not spending my time in the kitchen. I got to spend my time just enjoying our family.
Oh, there is one other thing. No ants this time bugging me. 20 years ago the annoying ants just about ruined the picnic for me. So our picnic supper without ants was a success.
