MiSSiSSiPPi picnic

[FooD]

Before the weekend began I heard some local Mississippians were having their annual picnic Saturday at a city park so a friend and I decided to check it out.
The park perimeter just happens to be right across the street from my house and the picnic was held at one of the picnic locations a short 15 minute walk from my house.
With a $20 donation per person and open to the public we were treated to some great (all you can eat & drink) spareribs, fried catfish, beer, and music. All the food caterers, beer, and even the bands were all trucked in from Mississippi. Amazing.
Oh, I even won a southern cookbook in a raffle...
We had some good, relaxing fun. Here are some pics I took...

Thanks!

Elysian Park here near downtown L.A. is large and has a few secluded picnic areas within and when you're at one of them it's hard to believe Dodger Stadium is located in the same park and it's just a 1/4 mile away.
Whenever we want to see a Dodger game it's a quick 10 minute walk to the stadium from home.
The L.A. Police Academy is also located inside this park.

Hey Food looks like you had a fun time. I love events like that. Nice ribs you got there boy!

 

[FooD]

I'm glad I attended the picnic. I actually almost signed up for a 2-day pizza making workshop which included building a temporary wood fired brick oven this weekend. Now that would have been fun too.

 

[Elaine l]

I think you could have run that seminar

 

[SilverSage]

That cookbook is getting rave reviews!

[Fisher's Mom]

That's OK. Now we have matching wallpaper on our screens!
