A Picnic for Christmas

When you have abundant access to Florida's soft air and palm trees,  and a stellar park with a sweeping promenade along a bay, why not have a Christmas picnic?  So we did,  right down to the deviled eggs, cole slaw and potato salad. The smoked salmon came from Ted Peters' Smokehouse  nearby,  the avocados from the lustrous tree behind our rented bungalow. We hauled table and chairs, wine and bread, right to the edge of the water, the grass behind us filled with dog walkers, joggers, and flyers of newly obtained kites and model planes. And in front? Tens of terns, curious gulls, and water-skimming pelicans!

It was a Christmas dinner unlike any other.

Hey, I'd love to have your recipe for Deviled Eggs?

Hmmm....well I just mash up the eggs with some mayo and a good coarse mustard, and loving spicy things I add some red chile powder as well.
YUM
Were it not "cold"--45 degrees--here today I might plan another picnic with eggs.
