Front yard cookouts and picnic get togethers

I'll be the first to admit, I like animal sources of protein... fried or barbeque chicken...vege burgers are good... different salads...
I love soda pop, juice and kombucha too...
Green foods, Asian inspired dishes...
I love a certain soda, generic or organic... variety is crucial for every get together.
Tables... eating on the ground on soft grass on top of a picnic gingham... not red and white no no! Any color, me I like periwinkle and black and white... must we have a color scheme?
Flowers, nectarines, blueberry and melon drinks..
So, my friends and I are going to set up a badminton game and also for fun, music... we need suggestions for
The end of summertime ...
Kid friendly fun..is what I am getting at...
So twilight is a good time,
Pet friendly environment..
Bring water and please submit your favorite food items...
Happy August...
I'll be in the restroom and making sure nobody steals or thinks they are wondering around my big house...
I bright the hostess soap, candles and potted flowers... please share what your ideas are for hostess and host gifts...
I'm going to a party and have helped with planning.
Have fun... no insulting and no water fights... its my hair...
I'm also a bouncer.

Just made steak and grilled salmon. Rice-a-roni on the side.

Redneck surf and turf.

It's too hot to eat outside here though.

Well, that sounds like fun!

I don't think you have to have a color scheme as summer is full of all sorts of vibrant colors.

Vibrant colors that you like would do well.

Have a good time!

a reply to: rockintitz love it, I'm starved! Hope your having fun this summer!

a reply to: TNMockingbird okay, I'm thinking your avatar colors are similar to what colors I like the most...with tangerine and eggplant...some teal and chartreuse hughs...thanks!
i'll pit the fabrics on my sewing table and I get to work!

Ah, music! Can bring a nice selection of popular tunes, of all genres and eras, to please a crowd, and provide some nice background. For food, some nicely seasoned burgers for the grill, a good garden salad, and the best chocolate chip cookies you can imagine! Gotta have the chocolate! A nice old quilt to spread out and sit on, under a shady tree. Iced tea, home brewed, with a touch of flavor. Maybe a couple of Frisbees to toss around, and horse shoes! Chekcer board for those with less energy.

What fun! I love a good picnic!

Nice park, with some trees and open grassy areas, room for the animals to run!

Great thread - such a nice change of pace!!
