Company Picnic

Every year my husband's company throws an over-the-top, three-day "picnic". Everyone camps out for the three to four days. Along with sand-rails, quads, dirt bikes, riffles, a custom gas powered blender, car size speakers continually blasting rock music and all sorts of games they have theme team dinner contests. We have had everything from deep fried ice cream and pie with crayfish and gaiter from the "south team";  to a quad shaped pinata filled with lime candies and tiny tequila bottles from a "Mexican team"; to hot German potato salad, sauerkraut and a variety of brots from "German team" - you get the idea. The teams are judged on presentation, originality and quality of a meal cooked for about 50 people while camping. Of course everyone on the team is in costume.  This year we couldn't stay the three days but did drive up for Dave to help his team put on an "Ocean Feast".    Dave with lap dog Cedar

While sounds of the ocean played, everyone feasted on chilled wine, crab legs,clam-chowder, cheese muffins, amazing coleslaw, baby red potatoes, corn-on-the-cob and prime rib for us non-seafood eaters.
