A Picnic in the City

New York may lack green space, but we don't lack picnics. My roommates and I have had two in the last two weeks. The weather here has been pretty good during the weekends. The rain has finally stopped. At least, for the moment.
The thing about picnics, is that there is always something going on besides what's happening with your friends. There are people playing catch, frisbee, and all sorts of lawn games.
And in New York, we didn't experience ants. We got pigeons, lots and lots of pigeons.
And we had all sorts of food. It ranged from Jell-O shots, to pasta salad to different types of humus and red velvet cake. It was truly a New York experience.
And of course, there are the people. The people make the party.
But don't forget about the pigeons. They won't let you forget!
I'll be sharing some recipes from this picnic with you over the course of the week.
It'll be fun! I promise!

A Side for Everything!

I've decided that bruschetta is my spread of choice this summer.  I'm so in love with it, I want to put it on everything.
It's also pretty easy to make, so I can put it on everything.
What you'll need:
3 tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
1/2 tablespoon of fresh basil

How you do it:
Wash the tomatoes. Quarter them and scoop out seeds. Slice the tomatoes into bite sized pieces.  Mince the basil and garlic and combine with tomatoes.  Enjoy!

I took this yummy serving to a picnic.
