This Picnic is a Picnic to Make
I have always loved the idea of a picnic. Packing a picnic basket, complete with a cute blanket is right up my alley.
Etiquette Analysis: Party Attire
“A hostess should be less elaborately dressed than her guests and her clothes may be more informal in type. For example, she would wear any distinctly at-home dress that could not possibly be worn on the street when she is giving a cocktail party or a tea to which other people come in street clothes” - Emily Post, Etiquette 1945, pg. 467
Skipping This Lunch Would Be A Mis-Steak!
For me, a salad is only a full meal if protein is included. A simple mixed green salad is a side or an appetizer, not an actual meal! This salad is a great springtime dish to serve as its filling but not too heavy. Though I do question if I can really call it a salad though because it’s really about the steak.
Etiquette Analysis: Walking
“In America it is customary for a man to walk on the curb side when accompanying a lady on the street, but the rule is not so hard and fast as it used to be” - Amy Vanderbilt, 1952, pg. 30
