Tuesday at the {picnic} Table

Welcome to Tuesday at the {picnic} Table, another month-long event celebrating the table, wherever you find it! Just one linky for the whole month - right here on this post. Each Tuesday I'll have a link back so you can find it easily and I'll keep it front and center in the Tuesday at the Table tab under my header as well.

I must have had picnics on my mind when I woke up Sunday, because almost immediately, I thought of picnic, a shop in Seattle that I had heard about but never visited. Thinking it would be perfect inspiration for this month's table topic, hubby and I went to check it out. 

It calls itself a "food + wine boutique", and I think that is an accurate description. They offer "wine by the glass and bottle, unique food gifts, a diverse selection of cheese and charcuterie items as well as a menu of soups, salads and sandwiches to eat-in or take away." Perfect. We had just eaten when we visited, but were still able to find several items to enjoy later.

Admittedly, there was alot to tempt us!

We could have easy packed ourselves a picnic, without a doubt! As it was, we enjoyed perusing the cold case, the heirloom beans and various condiments, the wine, etc. etc. Fun shop.

Meanwhile, back to reality, and I have the easiest of easy picnic recipes to share, what we call "Turkey Rollups." Basically, take a flour tortilla, spread with soft cream cheese (I prefer the whipped), layer a couple of slices of deli turkey and roll up. I'll either wrap them separately, rolled up in plastic wrap, or make a bunch and fill a zip-lock bag. They are easy to transport, stand up well to a stuffed cooler, and always seem to be enjoyed.

I'm working on pulling together a prize package that I'll share later this week, but for now, post about a picnic recipe or experience or project - or really, anything related to the table - and link it up for a chance to win. Most important, we'll enjoy sharing together . . .
