I have such good intentions at the beginning of the summer. My plans typically include swimming holes, outdoor movies, day trips, and neighborhood walks to get ice cream. Well, reader I am failing- half-way through summer I have eaten no ice cream, found no watering hole for nighttime skinny dipping, and lamely left part way through the one outdoor movie I attended.
So when I got an email from my daughter’s teacher nudging us to go see A Midsummer’s Night Dream, I felt compelled to rally my pals to move our potluck to the park.
Here’s what I will bring:
Gluten-free (I know- pity me) pasta salad with beets, summer squash, goat cheese, and basil vinaigrette, for staving off hunger.
Wine, for covert tippling.
Strawberries, for appeasing the restless toddler.
You guys better be there; summer’s passing, y’all.
