We're going apple picking next weekend, 30 September. We've been visiting this orchard since I was a young girl, and I've taken my own kids there many many times.
This year, however, my daughter is a vegetarian. (If you recall, this is the one that lapsed when we were in Punta Cana....).
The picnic has always been cold fried chicken, potato salad, chocolate doughnuts, and fresh picked apples. This is the third or fourth year my boyfriend is going, and he's not such a big fan of cold fried chicken or potato salad.
We made muffalettas one year, but I've got that vegetarian problem this year.
I'll be home early enough of friday afternoon to do some prep and cooking for the picnic, if necessary. I'd rather not spend more than a few hours at that chore, however. We also have a bottle of spiced wine we picked up at the Chadd's Ford Winery that has lovely apple flavours. I'll warm that before we leave on Saturday morning and keep it in a thermos for the picnic.
Lou has suggested just going to Clemente's (local italian bread bakery/deli) for sandwiches before the trip. I feel like that would be a sell out. I like to actually pack the food, ya know..?
Any suggestions? What would you take????
