Ravinia picnic

Mike and I went to Ravinia last night. It's gotten too cold for Ravinia, really, but we haven't been all summer, and who knows if we'll ever have a chance to go again. We ended up leaving halfway through the performance; Mike hadn't brought a coat, and we were getting damp and chilled. Our picnic dinner was really good. We had

• grapes
• apples (the earliest local apples have appeared)
• Greco de Tufo wine, purchased at Whole Foods for the bargain price of $6, marked down from $28
• bruschetta toasts
• fresh mozzarella
• goat cheese
• tomato topping
• white bean topping
• roasted red peppers
• deviled eggs
• vegan cappuccino cupcakes with espresso pastry creme
• chocolate

The wine was amazing, and the best bargain ever. The cupcakes were pretty good but rubbery. I don't know if I would make them again. Overall, it was just about the perfect dinner.

Summer is over.
