Guests are now scattered on the lawn with picnic baskets here and there.
Let's take a look inside them...

Lady Carol aka buddyt: walnut sandwiches
Lady Meredith of Austenesque Reviews: homemade strawberry lemonade
Lady Midnight Cowgirl of The Fashion Planner: fried chicken, buttermilk biscuits, and chocolate cake
Lady Milka of Read.Read.Read: fresh strawberries, cold soda
Lady Nina of J'adore happy endings: strawberries (Yes, I know we can pick them up at Mr. Knigtley's) and just a lot of sweet stuff, like chocolate, cookies and wine... A nice sweet white wine
Lady Rosie: fried chicken with homemade macaroni salad and for dessert a nice light sugar cookie
Lady Wanda: small bottle of wine
Lady Vee - and, my must have picnic basket treat would be: some savory cheese with nice crusty bread and fruit tarts

Excuse me. What I meant to say is that as they're missing, I'll bring the pigeon pies.
ReplyDeleteYummie!
ReplyDeleteooo, pigeon pies is a new one for me. i'll have to look them up. found a yummy recipe here: http://www.theoldfoodie.com/2010/01/pigeon-pies-and-miss-austen.html
ReplyDeleteFor an excellent pigeon-pie for a small family singe and draw three birds, split them down the back, wipe with a clean cloth, but do not wash. Fry half a dozen slices of salt pork and brown the pigeons in the pork-fat. Then put them in a deep baking-dish, slice a small onion, brown in the hot fat and add a pint of stock and a tablespoonful of flour. Stir until slightly thick, then strain over the pigeons. Cover them tightly and cook for two hours in a moderate oven. Remove the cover and replace it with one of pie-crust. Bake until brown.
Honestly, I'm pretty open minded about food but I don't think I could bring myself to actually eat pigeon, one of the creatures I most despise on this Earth. Filthy birds. Nonetheless, the recipe is priceless.
ReplyDeleteStrawberries, chocolate pudding and a vegetarian ovendish (also a basket with lively and very peacefull pigeons to sent rescue messages to my castle if neccessary incase of unmentionale's approaching the picnic party...)
