Picnicking is one of my favorite words & activities.

We did that for my birthday.

My friends bring it, when we picnic.  Fresh homemade salsa, penne with mushrooms and garbanzo beans, tofu marinated in oriental dressing with greens, cupcakes, caprese salad, spinach dip, baguettes, and lots of makgeolli, wine, and beer.

We were also in an ideal location. Wooden platform with trees coming up through the floor, overlooking the ocean. It was a wonderful afternoon.

My purple stained lips can tell you all about it.

[ 3 of my friends jumped in the frigid ocean,  and the waves were crashing over the rocks. They were safe, no worries. All three are strong rock climbers, so of course scaling up and down to the water was no problem ]
