Post 390 Picnic Baskets are where it's at this September. The sun is still shining after you get out of the office, but those sweltering July and August days are well behind. Schedule a basket with an hour lead time to pick up after work - then wander over to Copley Square, the Esplanade or the Public Garden. We headed to our end of the Charles River Esplanade in Brighton. (The light was so insanely beautiful that I decided to channel my inner fashion blogger modeling with my cute little picnic basket!) Here's what's in it:
/ Salad of Artisan Lettuces / candied pecans, dried cranberries, manchego, white balsamic vinaigrette
/ Antipasto / prosciutto americano, sweet soppressata, marinated mozzarella, pickles, stout mustard, banana peppers, toasted baguette with sea salt
/ Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies / soft + chewy
/ Meyer + Tarragon Sparkling Lemonade / meyer lemon juice, tarragon, black peppercorn
All the food was delicious, however, that lemonade was my favorite! Everything was thoughtfully prepared and securely packaged, which in turn made for convenient unpacking and laying out a lovely spread with ease. The wooden utensils were a thoughtful touch, too. There are a couple different menu options - check them out here and let me know if you try one!

Ahhh this is the cutest thing ever! I need to do this before it gets too cold :)
