We decided to have a picnic in Russian Gulch State Park on a Saturday afternoon after camping in MacKerricher State Park. I craved mac and cheese and Tim wanted hot dogs, so we broke out the Coleman stove and our stash of pre-cooked food from the coolers. Tim had prepared summer minestrone with pesto and shells, but we didn't feel like having soup on such a warm gorgeous day. So this is how we improvised.
Soundtrack:

Ingredients:
Cooked pasta shells
Pesto (basil, garlic, parmesan, olive oil)
Penzey's seasoned salt (next time, try Maldon?)

Spinach, sliced into ribbons
(Lemon? - next time)
Cook:
Melt butter with milk in pot
Add salt (and something lemon?)
