The Basics of Planning a Picnic

Filed under: Dining

t's still a little early to be planning a picnic here in the Midwest but thinking about what I want to do once the snow clears helps me deal with cabin fever, plus the eventual picnic (when it does happen) will be all the better for the advanced notice. It's been years since I've been on a full-fledged picnic -- basket, blanket and all -- so I thought it wise to do a little research and compiled this list for making sure everything goes perfectly.

Location
Half the fun of a picnic is derived from relaxing and throwing down a blanket to eat somewhere unusual and different. Consider the person or group you'll be picnicking with and choose somewhere they'll enjoy, whether it's a park for the kids to play in or a scenic vista as a setting for romance.
