NOT YOUR BASIC PICNIC

A FOODIE REPORT
       Hello Lightbreezes readers.  I hope you will permit a bit of indulgence, in more ways than one.  Today's post is about food, good food and a lot of it.  For a year now, a group of friends have gathered about every month for a "moveable feast." The offerings at our 
"American Independence Feast" push Fourth of July picnics to a new level.  I assure you the pictures can't do justice to the meal.
