picnics for princesses
Eating inside is just so last month.
So get some fresh air with your fresh food by packing an haute locally-produced picnic.
Hoist the basket to the lovely Alice Lake near Squamish, dine on sunset patrol at Lighthouse Park, or catch noon rays on top of Cypress Beach, er, Mountain.
Stock the basket with regional delicacies, such as the amazing organic loaves from European Breads bakery: just three ingredients (flour, sea salt, milk) make up the rustic and chewy Georgian Baguette.
Dip it in locally-made black olive tapenade by Golda’s Finest Foods, or top it with generous hunks of Salt Spring Island’s Moonstruck Organic’s baby blue (like a tiny stilton) or the creamy Little Qualicum Cheeseworks Island Brie that comes on its own little cheese board.
And for festive libations, may we suggest a B.C. version of Kir Royale: bubbly topped with a splash of Bremners Pure Blueberry Juice.
It really is good for you. Trust us.
