June 1, 2001
\deflang1033\pard\plain\f3\fs24 Drawing on her New England upbringing, Stovel presents a host of foods that make ideal fare for a \plain\f3\fs24" Picnic\plain\f3\fs24 . In addtion to expected recipes for cucumber sandwiches, peach ice cream, and chocolate cake, Stovel has corn pudding, grilled salmon or tuna, and several home-baked breads. Stovel has created some warming ski picnics with appropriately hearty dishes such as sausage and bean casserole. To goad those still unmotivated by her recipes, she puts together a number of menus to cover a host of picnic opportunities.
