Picnic food





We had a 4th of July picnic yesterday. I organized it and told everyone it was a picnic, I never used the word BBQ. Still, three of the other four families brought food to BBQ (beef, pork, fish, corn, eggplant) and two brought BBQs in traveling cases, which we didn't need because all four of the BBQ areas were empty when we got there at 4:30.

We were both busy in the morning, so we brought peanuts, raisins, cookies, and drinks and stopped by a supermarket for various makizushi. One of the other families did the same, though they also brought some yakitori and breaded chicken kushiyaki and one of the families that brought BBQ meat also brought homemade onigiri. It was delicious and easy, though, since this is Japan, we (mostly the Nakahara-sans) made sure the park's BBQ was just as clean when we left as when we arrived -- maybe cleaner.
