Here are some tips on having a great picnic:
1. When you go to a fast food restaurant they always give you too many condiments. Keep the extra condiments in a drawer in your kitchen, just for use on picnics! It’ll save a lot of room in your cooler or insulated food compartment.
2. Help your thermos keep food cold or hot longer: For hot food, place the thermos in boiling water just long enough to heat it up well, then fill it (carefully – be sure to let it cool down enough to the touch so it won’t burn your skin). For cold contents you could place it in the freezer, or in some ice before packing.
3. Recycle your plastic bags from the grocery store for use as garbage bags on picnics.
