Yes, as long as the weather is pleasant and there aren't too many bugs/flies bothering me. Often in New Jersey, it was too hot and humid in the summer. It's milder where I am now.

In NJ we had a nice umbrella covered eating table and chairs on our deck, but we left them for the house buyers. Now we do have patio furniture and an umbrella, but only coffee tables. No dining table. Recently we had guests over, but ate food that didn't require forks and knives (open-faced sandwiches and then later sausages roasted over a pit fire).

What are your favorite picnic foods?
