Ice Breaker – Picnic

Posted on by

Happy Friday!

Friday means Ice Breaker here on the Stretched blog. Each week, I ask a question designed to help us learn a little bit about the Stretched Community. I answer the question in the post, and you answer the question in the comments. This is also a great opportunity to interact with other readers by commenting on their answers. Since we’re heading into the summer season, I thought it would be fun to pick a question that relates to a fun summertime activity. Here goes!

Question:  What is your favorite picnic food or activity?

Answer:  I love picnics and potlucks. I love picnic foods like watermelon, hamburgers, and pasta salad. But my favorite picnic food is probably homemade guacamole. I realize you can have quack mole any time of the year, but our recipe came to us during a picnic in the early years of our marriage. The recipe calls for avocados, red onion, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, salt, and lime juice. Dipping nacho chips in this guacamole is so delicious.

As for picnic activities, I love sitting around and relaxing with friends, but I also love picnic games – especially lawn games like horseshoes, bocce ball, and croquet. I have great memories of playing all three of these games at past picnics.

Okay, now it’s your turn. Answer this week’s ice breaker question in the comments.

(It’s not to late to get in on the giveaway that I announced on Monday!)

    We don’t go on a lot of picnics. What we do like to do is pack make some sandwiches, drive about 7 minutes away to a spot by the river in the mountains, eat and listen to the river roll by.

    I would have to say my favorite picnic food is deviled eggs. They take some time to make, but are oh so good.

       My wife would agree completely. We enjoyed those last Saturday at a friend’s retirement party.

    We seldom do picnics. Not because we don’t enjoy them, but we just don’t think about it. Now, potlucks…that is a different story. My favorite part of a potluck is undoubtedly the desserts!!!

    Picnics make me think of family reunions, because that is usually the form picnics have taken in my life. I always loved my grandma’s homemade chicken & noodles. We used to fight to be near the front of the line (these reunions brought over 100 people) just so that we could get some of those noodles!

    I don’t do picnics very often, but I think my favorite food to eat outdoors is barbecue.

    I like your homemade guacamole. It’s making my mouth water. Though I grew up in Texas, I’ve grown fond of brats hot off the grill up here in Wisconsin. From my days of youth (a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away), a little Sunday afternoon softball was an enjoyable pastime when our church planned a picnic in the park.
