Time for that Summer Picnic – Really

Apple Crisp

Country Apple Crisp

My friend, Rex, asked the other day about something we used to do, something that seems to have gotten away from us.  When the kids were younger and still at home we had a tradition of having a picnic in the January/February timeframe.  This served as a break from the windy and cold Chicago weather.  We would crank up the heat, put on shorts and loud summery shirts, play some beach songs and have a picnic.  It may seem strange but we actually got the teenagers to go along with this silliness; they would even bring their friends.
Today we rush around, complain about the weather and don’t have the same sense of fun; is there even beach music in today’s world?  Take time from all the hectic schedules, the seemingly constant demands on our time and fall back into a more relaxed time, if even just for a Sunday afternoon.
Hot dogs, hamburgers and a juicy Apple Crisp; pass the tanning lotion.

3 cup flour
3 cup sugar, white
3 lb apples, peeled and sliced
