PICNICS & PARTIES

Hotel Concert Supper
Anne of Green Gables: Chapter 33
Chicken Salad
Ice Cream
Emulate Anne by donning a dress of white organdy, with a little rose in your hair, and wow everyone with a recitation … or do as a rich American does, and “spend your summer at a hotel and wear jewels and low-necked dresses and have ice cream and chicken salad every blessed day.” (I definitely prefer the latter.)

Anne’s Golden Picnic
Anne of Avonlea: Chapter 13
Little Jelly Tarts
Lady Fingers
Drop Cookies Frosted with Pink & Yellow Icing
Buttercup Cake
Sandwiches
Lemonade
Celebrate spring on a warm, sunshiny May day by going for a hike in the woods with your friends. Pack the daintiest things possible and eat in the prettiest spot you can find. Bonus points for dancing around a pool like wood nymphs.

Throw a party for an unwanted houseguest, lol. Make sure to beautify the table with your “prettiest dishes and the exotic beauty of white and purple iris.” When the guest finally leaves, treat yourself to a fried steak with onions.

Jem’s Rainbow Valley Feast
Rainbow Valley: Chapter 3
Fried Trout
Bread
Berries
Clover Honey

If you have Jem’s wilderness survival skills (which I do not), hunt and gather everything except the bread. Use newspaper for a tablecloth.

Aunt Martha’s Doubtful Dinner
Rainbow Valley: Chapter 5
Cold Boiled Mutton
Bread
Butter
Milk
Pie
I’m not sure why you’d want to recreate anything Aunt Martha would make, unless it’s to make a more delicious version of it, but I’m genuinely curious to try boiled mutton. If you want to skip ditto, you could have roast beef (make sure to badly underdo it) or a poor roast pet rooster.

SNACK

Miss Minerva’s Bedtime Snack

Cinnamon Toast

Spend the night in a creepy old house that’s chock-full of family history. Tell gruesome true stories and play parchesi by the fire. Drink the cocoa out of old cups of marvelous thinness and beauty. Bonus points if it’s pouring cats and dogs.
