Charity: Okay ~TT~ Time.
Sharon: hmm well how about best foods for a picnic or summer outing?
Charity: Chicken salad with cut up grapes, celery (I like mine diced up small), sweet onion and a little bit of mayo. I know mayo goes bad but most beach trips have coolers right?

Sharon: well i was just bringing a 12 pack of beer. Plus your chicken salad we're all good.
Sharon: done :)
Charity: Next.
Sharon: sighs.
Sharon: good o'l fashioned vinaigrette coleslaw
Charity: I have always wanted to do one of those lobster clam bake things. Ya know with the small potatoes, clams, corn on the cob, shrimp....lobster if you really like your friends and family enough to share... Dump it out on a table covered with newspaper and dig in. How fun would that be!
Sharon: well I'm still thinking 12 beer would be more fun, but I'll go with it
Charity: You can use some of the beer to steam the clams. Infuse the flavor ya know.
Sharon: jelly beans. Can't go to the beach without jelly beans
