LTHForum.com Picnic

Relive This Year’s Picnic

When the LTHForum.com community was young, those of us who were part of it felt a sense of discovery whenever we interacted closely with one another.

Yes, everyone knew we were interested in restaurant dining. But it quickly became apparent (through the Cooking & Shopping forum) that LTHForum.com was abundant with terrific bakers, beverage innovators, cooks, home brewers, picklers and pitmasters. Even the more modest cooks were quite discerning about where they shopped for baked goods and carry-out food.

So, to create an opportunity for sampling each other’s creations and unique food sources, LTHForum.com birthed an egalitarian all-for-one-and-one-for-all picnic. Everyone brings a dish, effectively helping to host the event and make it unique. A picnic permit and piñata are paid for through a few dollars tacked on to the price of the LTHForum.com Holiday Party.

The LTHForum Annual Picnic is a gift that keeps on giving. Come, sit down, and eat your food!

So when I finally do get to choose what I would like to eat and ask for a vegetarian meal, some of my associates are often puzzled. “When did you become a vegetarian?” is a common question I hear. I usually have to correct people. “I’m not a vegetarian; I’m a flexitarian.” Inevitably, this revelation is met by a puzzled expression. So I explain.
