We packed our picnic basket with all the food we love and headed to the beach. The day was bright, sunny, beautiful. It was the perfect winter day to take time to breath. To listen the sound of waves crashing on the sand, feel the breeze and smell the sea.
So we decided to take advantage of the lovely weather and have lunch by the sea. We needed a sweet relief after a busy week, something to keep our souls healthy and energized.
A moment to think, a moment to relax.
There is something beyond wonderful about ''the crispy winter days'' around here- days like this are always a good reason to leave the house and enjoy life's sweetest treasures.
We found a wonderful place under a shady tree, spread our blanket upon the ground and plopped down :) And after eating our focaccia sandwiches and all of our food, we just walked along the sea. And we laughed of old memories and smiled of new ones.
Our food was simple but very satisfying; rosemary and cherry tomato focaccia { using this dough recipe} sandwiches filled with Italian ham, pea shoots and tomatoes, a couple of salads with vegetables of the season with this vinaigrette, olives, feta cheese, pears and minted lemonade . Next time, I think I would make some rosemary infused limonade too.
Un dia de picnic a la orilla del mar, mirando las gaviotas y sintiendo la brisa fresca. Oh las maravillas que nos da la vida!
Oh, the wonderful things of life.
It was a beautiful day.
Bright and pleasant.
Full of life and full of reflection.
Hopefully you may be inspired too. I'll be back with recipes soon. Wishing you all a colorful week ahead!
This is my idea of a picnic...
