A tough dating question this week. Let’s dive straight in
Question: We havent been seeing each other very long, only a couple of weeks. We are both 17.
So far, im planning to make some form of a chicken salad, then mabye making pasty’s (however, she dosent like red meat, so im stuck for ideas here, cheese and onion mabye?) then for dessert im making choc chip cookies, bite sized brownies topped with chocolate sauce and a fresh raspberry, and mabye strawberries and cream? Im thinking the cream might go off a bit if its warm? I do have a cool bag, and lots of ice packs for it as well, not sure how long it will stay cold for though, no real experience with picnics
What do you think of this so far, and what else could I add to this?
Thanks

Answer: How romantic!
i think pastry is a good idea, how about two small wedges of salmon,mix some creme fresh with either dill or rock fort cheese warm it in a pan so as to become a sauce,wrap the uncooked salmon in puff pastry parcel with enough sauce and bake [any left over sauce if chilled over night goes hard and can be used as a soft cheese spread]
baby tomatoes.
a mixed green salad with separate dressing.
a sparkly Champagne type wine/or non alcoholic
fresh fruit,strawberries,raspberries and wedges of water melon.
maybe chocolate fudge!
enjoy yourselves!
Ask her for advice.
Sounds good - or you could go with an assortment of varied "fancy" rolls, cheeses, cut up veg and spreads. Maybe a salad (green or the chicken might be nice). Your dessert ideas sound perfect. And a sparkling water or good coffee to wash it all down. But of course that’s just me. If you know what she likes, it might be safe to atick eith that.
Good luck, and have fun! Hope the weather’s good.
Well you would want foods that would withstand the heat of the summer. Hoping that it is not a long ride to the picnic area. Cheese pies might be perfect for the pastry idea, maybe even tuna pies. Cookies sound good for dessert. Cream may or may not work. Hopefully the cool bag and ice packs would help. According to the time of day that you are going, the length of ride and if you are planning to eat as soon as you get there or converse a bit first. You may want to limit the desert to an item without the cream or raspberries. You can also freeze some drinks which allows more room for the other items, like fresh fruit like mangoes to handle the heat with the usage of ice packs. Hope it goes well.
It seems good so far. maybe like some sandwithes or watermelon. What ever you would think a pinic would be like.
it sounds really good as you said, and fun!
i would add peanut butter & jelly 
my favorite!
