the last great reward of online legal database training
has arrived today. the PicnicTime Pioneer Picnic Basket. 
i say the last great reward, b/c from here on out i will only be able to amass enough points for a $25 gift certificate, maybe another $10. but gone are the days of westlaw and lexis sending me hundreds plus dollars worth of goods thru the mail. without the oppression of shipping charges! which is probably my favorite thing.
well, i have always had problems finding suitable rewards on westlaw, given the sparse pickings. in the end, i was debating between an aerobed and this fabulous picnic basket. at rob's urging, i concluded that indeed, lexis/westlaw points were for fun, and the picnic basket won out.
it really is one heck of a picnic basket too. it's got salt and pepper shakers and wine glasses, and coordinated plaid napkins and plates and a tablecloth and blanket. oh! and a cheese board and cheese knife! b/c you cannnot have a picnic without an assortment of cheeses! so true.
the only remaining problem is that i'm not sure i'll be able to pick it up once it's full of foods.
oh, and that i'm not sure i can really come up with a suitable meal with which to fill it. i mean, this warrants more than sandwiches and chips! but what exactly? please submit your suggestions for perfect picnic meals, that are bona fide meals, that actually involve being moderately domestic, tho not so domestic that i would screw them up horribly.

What is more domestic than shopping for a picnic? Fried chicken, cole slaw and potatoe salad from Foods of All Nations makes for a tasty feast. Oh, and toss in a couple of "Hopes Favorites" cookies and you're good to go.
Cheese, crusty bread, bottle of wine, grapes, other assorted fruit, done. And Lexi, be sure to bring Lexi. A necessary requirement of a romantic picnic. I seem to recall having one of these once, but I think I gave it away before moving from Boston. If you want free crap, you ought to hang around me as I'm packing, since I tend to give perfectly nice stuff away in an effort to not move it. And really, one day I will reach my goal of having a perfectly minimalist amount of stuff, so it's just going to be more and more I give away as time goes on.
