Picnic

[Louise24]

My BF and I are going out for the day tomorrow and I want to be all grown up and take a picnic so this is what I'm planning...

* Chicken skewers with cherry tomatoes, peppers and shallots served with a yogurt dip of some sort

* Big box of salad

* Yogurt

* French fries

* Blueberries

What do you think? Oh, it'll be a red day by the way. More ideas welcome xx

Oh someone mentioned scotch eggs at our group the other night and free on a green day.

Wrap quorn sausage round Boiled egg then roll in couscous then put in the oven till the couscous is browned.

Hope you enjoy your picnic.

Your picnic sounds lovely Louise, I hope you have a really nice, all grown up time

 

[StephCracknell]

bonus for the exercise you get crushing scan brans! LOL

Louise that sounds lovely! You could take some potato or pasta salad as an HE B just in case you need some carbs. Hmm, might need to make some chicken skewers for dinner tomorrow now

I do like the sound of the chicken skewers and I'm DEFINATELY going to try the scotch eggs

Thanks everyone.

We've had a row so aren't actually speaking at the moment, but I'm sure he'll grow up at some point - there again I have bin saying that for ages!! Hehe. He better get over it as I've got all the picnic stuff ready now too.

Oh and get this, he declared he wants a sandwich too, so I'm going to watch him eat a chicken, bacon, stuffing and cranberry sauce sandwich on a huge white seasame burger bap. Don't forget the mayo too!

Arrgh, so jealous. In refelection, the sandwich issue is probably why I just let him have it with both barrels!! Hehe.

Our men really don't understand do they?! Mine will come home on a Wednesday (WI day) and about an hour before I have to go to WI he will cook himself a big fatty dinner and it will waft under my nose and smell nice but I can't have it cus I have WI! Why can he not just wait an hour til I go out? MEN!!!

Just thought I'd mention, I tried to make those green day scotch eggs but couldn't get the quorn sausage to wrap round the egg or stick to it! Has anyone else managed to do it?
