It’s picnic season…or is it?

For the last few weeks, Winter seemed to be finally giving up it’s hold on the Northern California foothills of the Sierra Nevada, so we planned a picnic to kick off the next 4 months of picnics. Of course it rained all day and kept to mid-forties temperatures, so we migrated indoors, but the conversation, salads, wine and blackberry pie were still enjoyed by all.

I made the pie and asperge vinaigrette as well as the breads which included a few baguettes, pains d’épis and a sand dollar fougasse inspired by a recent TFL post by @calbeachbaker and our early Spring trip to PointReyes National Seashore.
