I love picnics. Picnics = summer to me =) The idea of packing up some food & drinks in a basket, heading off to a sunny, sandy beach or green, leafy park on a warm & bright day; it's one of my favorite ways to spend my spare time. Mark Bittman's just written an awesome article with 101 picnic-friendly recipes that take 20 minutes or less to prepare. He's even divided them into categories such as cold noodles, potato salads & egg salads, desserts, sandwiches, seafood, fruit, etc etc etc. Get your picnic basket ready here =)
