A TABLE FROM THE GROUND UP
THE ART OF PICNICKING
June 7, 2012 by MeStro Team
_________________________________________
Bold though it may be, at MeStro we think the best part of summer is outside. Summer
sun shimmies through leafy branches in scintillating ribbons of joy, like nothing
else. And unlike every other time of year, the days are long and giving, the
air is warm, and getting a good tan is highly probable. So, what can be better
than mixing the best with the best: earth and food, sun with savory, hot with a glass of cool—oh, and just enough wind to carry the magnificent aroma
for miles. Yep, it’s just the right time
picnicking. At The MeStro Blog, we’re hoping you do it big. No scrawniness; just
food, friends, and you the chef doing your impressive skills justice. Hence,
we’ve scoured our brains and the World Wide Web for bounds of inspiration. From
menu to décor to activities and the exciting tidbits in-between, it’s a table
from the ground up. Why not make a MeStro meal out of it—expand your culinary influence, combine cookery and community. We can’t wait to see your masterpiece.

The Great Outdoors Around the World
MENU
For this menu, we went around the globe, using some amazing recipes we found to craft culinary perfection
 |
| Tyler Florence - Fresh Fried Corn Chips |
 |
| Food52 - Spanish Roasted Potatoes |
DECOR
With decor, don't be afraid to play with the theme. We started with a picnic table in a large veranda finished with succulents, tall hurricane glasses full of colorful wild flowers and a vibrant indian beaded runner.

| West Elm - Succulents |
ACTIVITIES
For fun, we looked
to our favorite global sports and pastimes, from cricket to croquet. And
whimsy
is a must, entertain small children with games of tag and necklaces of daisies.
