Okay. Just giving you, y'know, lots of warning. Kitty and I have our anniversary in a couple weeks, and her birthday the next day, and I need a Picnic Lunch. And I'm not talking just any picnic lunch. I'm talking about something mythic. Legendary. Something that ants gather together on cold nights and speak of in hushed whispers. A Picnic Lunch so incredible that even Yogi Bear, if he saw it, would simply look reverently at it . . . and pass on by. A Picnic Lunch, indeed, with capital letters.

Because the, er, the thing is, I want this anniversary to be really, really special. Because I'm kinda . . . proposing. To Kitty. (Marriage.) So I want the actual day to be really special. Which, um, I said, didn't I.

Help?

Ye of great special math brilliance,

Your wish is my command. There will come a time when all will look back in awe at the culinary masterpiece that will be yours. There shall be no finer tribute in all the ages.

I'd say that we should meet to discuss this but email is so much more on the down low. Therefore, we'll discuss it here.

Much love,
Lorna.

You? Are the most awesome, ever.

Okay. Ideas. What's the most awesome picnic-lunch food ever invented?

I know, I'm totally great.

Well that depends. What are the favorite flavors of your kit cat? The best stuff is going to build from there.

Um. Chocolate. Also strawberries. Most fruit, actually. And honey. And I've gotten very good results with steak, but that's a little nonportable . . . she doesn't do the two-kitchens thing, but probably we want to stay away from anything blatantly unkosher. Nonkosher? Akosher?

Erm. How's that for starters?

Okay then. That gives me some ideas. Expect to get some very random emails in the next few hours/days while I do research.
