Gourmet Supper Club: Picnic

It was our turn to host and we chose the theme Picnic. It seemed like the perfect party to wind down a busy summer. We headed over to our local park and set up in the shade of these gorgeous trees. Jack and Owen made lemonade for their friends and the grown-ups sipped Pimm's cups. I've always wanted to serve Pimm's at a picnic, English-style. They were delicious, stuffed with mint, oranges, apples and cucumbers. So refreshing. We played badminton and baseball and sat around chatting on blankets. I got my baby fix. We seriously need to do this more often.


On the menu: deviled eggs, a cheese tray with rosemary cashews and balsamic fig jam, watermelon tomato gazpacho, buttermilk fried chicken, dill pickles, cream biscuits, and peach jam. For dessert: peach whisky hand pies. Are you drooling?





So fun!

On Saturday morning we headed to HMart, our local Asian supermarket. Sipping on watermelon and taro boba, we wandered around staring at the exotic fruits and veggies and the aisles and aisles of rice flours, noodles, and bizarre spices. So fun! We came home with crazy ingredients such as green papaya, dried shrimp, and long beans (they're over a foot long!).


All dressed up and ready to walk over to the Kirschners' house.


 





Sadly, both the Kirschners and the Bergs lost their beloved family dogs within a few days of supper club. It wasn't planned, but seems like the wine was meant to honor sweet Colby and Cooper.
