I had the pleasure of hosting this year’s club potluck picnic… or rather, reaping the benefits of my in-laws home in Easton as the latest venue for our summer bash. We had perfect weather, with abundant blue skies and sunshine without the oppressive August heat and humidity that often accompanies it.
Speaking of abundance, there was no shortage of food and drink options! The buffet seemed to be never-ending, with more choices than one could reasonably sample all of (though many of us tried!). Buffalo chicken dip and deviled eggs, pulled pork and chicken tacos, vegetarian chili and street corn salad… and more. There was enough food to feed us all for days on end, and truly, the party could have gone on for that long. Luckily, there were plenty of incredible beers, ciders, and meads to share as well (both homebrewed and commercial) to accompany all of the food! For those who stayed into the night, we gathered around a firepit, roasting marshmallows and finishing off the last few bottles around the open flames.
Truly, the best part of all was the people. It is always a treat to get together as a club with families included as well – the company is what made the gathering all the more special. A huge thank you to all who were able to attend for making the day what it was – and to all those that couldn’t make it, you were greatly missed! We’re already looking forward to making next year’s event as big of a hit as this one. Cheers!
