❤ Tina’s Recipe for Summer Loving! ❤
YAY! Make way for summer! The season is by far my favourite time of the year and definitely puts me in the mood for ROMANCE! I LOVE that I can throw away my winter woollies and skip around in a floaty dress, either barefoot or in sandals and indulge my passion for eating and drinking outdoors!
In my fantasies summer and romance means an interlude in the open air, whether it be a romantic picnic for two, complete with a bottle of Champagne or getting down and dirty with a significant other in this green and pleasant land!
I’ve created an example of a perfect menu for my fantasy picnic, with the emphasis being on sexy finger food which is designed to tantalise the taste buds (and possibly other parts!)
❤ An Al Fresco Menu for Lovers ❤
French bread and selection of my favourite cheeses: boursin; camembert and cheddar
Green olives (stuffed)
Crudites with houmus
Asparagus tips and dip
Fruit salad including grapes, passion fruit and of course the quintessentially English strawberries and cream
Chocolate truffles to follow……
❤ Optional Extras ❤
A book of erotic poetry
A wind up gramophone playing Elgar’s violin concerto or another favourite of mine, Rodriguez’s Concierto de Aranjuez.
A perfect read to put you in the mood is Beverley Ovalle’s super erotic read LIGHTNING STRIKE! To check out our earlier review of this erotic read which truly inspires my fantasies click here.

I make an olive cheese bread with several different types of cheese, sour cream, and cream cheese. While it’s best served hot, it’s delicious even after it cools. 🙂 I liked the Facebook page, and followed on Twitter and followed the blog, too.

My boyfriend would probably not be a fan of any type of finger food. So I guess our romantic picnic fare would be…sandwiches? lol Maybe I could cut them into squares like tea sandwiches. Not sure how romantic that is…..

As long as you both enjoy the experience sandwiches cut up into squares is just the ticket Katrina. Hope you enjoy the hop. 🙂
