Comments (32)Mudlady - You are correct that TPN means "total parental nutrition" (or similar). I made a mistake lumping the accronym w the other ones. For some reason, I was thinking it was latin, but clearly not..! Earlier in the thread, we were talking about girls' only schools. I was fortunate enough to go to a single sex school for my whole schoolgirl career (from aged 4-19) and loved it. However, at the time, I took it all for granted (as kids do), and it's only in looking back, that I realise the opportunity that I was offered. Academics were not my strong suit until I worked out to study at univ., so I missed that boat in earlier school; however, I do have a strong set of friends with whom I am still in touch. Looking back, my school seemed very restrictive in everything, but after I had read its hundred-year history book (during Xmas), I really understood how forward it was with the serious things. Yes, you had to have certain coloured socks and wear a hat and have indoor shoes and outdoor shoes etc. but it was really a great school otherwise. (And I actually quite liked all the rules.)

Comments (9)I like the roll-ups idea :-) We do outdoor summer concerts as well and there is always an assortment of deli take-out items and fresh fruit but the roll-ups - sliced into bite sized slices - are big hits. I do smoked turkey, herbed cream cheese or Boursin and a spicy chutney or ham, Brie and Dijon mustard or rare roast beef, horseradish and either blue cheese or sharp cheddar or deli chicken, baby spinach or arugula, Caesar dressing and a sprinkle of parmesan. And I mix up the tortillas, too - spinach, roasted red pepper, chipotle, plain flour, whatever. My other favorite picnic fare is the chicken salad of your choice served in a halved pita bread pocket....See MoreMimou-GW

4 years agoI’m in love with this one complete with English bone china but I’m certain it would be very heavy. I think most of the venues will require a 10-15 minute walk from the parking area so probably not practical:(

4 years agoI think it all depends upon where you want to draw the line on form over function.
For me, this Brookstone one would be a good compromise. Lighter weight and not scratchy like a basket, but still very attractive looking and vintage-y.
OTOH, if I really wanted something that kept things cold, I love the vintage Yeti
But, if I'd just always had my heart set on the traditional, I might buy this one since it is not very much money and if it ended up being truly annoying to use, c'est la vie
This one gets good reviews and had a built in cooler
After all that, if I used it a lot,I would probably say, darn, and just buy a Scout ..... these are the most practical, the most functional, and the lightest weight
