Welcome to April 23rd on the National Day Calendar. We’ve all heard the phrase that life is no picnic, but with Spring in the air, it’s time to rethink that. From the French word for peek en eek, picnic means a meal eaten outdoors. This meal hearkens back to the mid 18th century in France when all you needed to dine al fresco was a bottle of wine, a loaf of bread, some cheese and fruit and you had a party under the sky. Anytime you can get outside, your mood will automatically lift, and for some reason food always tastes better in the great outdoors. Don’t live close to a park? No problem. Your own backyard will do. And if the weather is not quite picture perfect, a blanket on the living room floor is just fine. This casual meal invites conversation, relaxation and eating with your fingers. What a perfect recipe for connecting with those you love. On National Picnic Day find your way back to the simple pleasures in life. Im Marlo Anderson with the National Day Calendar. See you again tomorrow as we Celebrate Every Day! http://nationaldaycalendar.com/days-2/national-picnic-day-april-23/
