Eating at a picnic table

[Jim_Shoe]

A friend sent this idea to me. Use an empty six pack of beer bottles to carry salt, pepper, mustard and ketchup squeeze bottles, plastic eating utensils, and napkins. Easy to pass and nothing blows around. And you get to empty the bottles first. 🙂

We were at Big Bubba Bad BBQ in Paso Robles, CA (great food) and they had a cardboard condiment holder on the table, by Budweiser no less. It kinda of looked like a six pack holder but was sturdier and a little bigger. It didn't have the bottle dividers, so it wasn't as limited as to what you could carry.

I told the waitress they were pretty cool and wish I had one for my RV. She dug one up and gave it to me. (She got a nice tip too).

Another nice thing to use to carry things from the RV to the picnic table is a sturdy tray. A cookie sheet with a 4 sided lip can also double as a tray too.

How does one carry the beer bottles to the table?

An inexpensive choice is to use the container the beer bottles were in when purchased (ie make a second trip).

Better option : transport the bottles in a cooler.

Years ago, Coke made a plastic six Coke carrier for their bottles. I saved two of them and they work just great to hold silver, salt and pepper, covered sugar, etc. I saved two as I thought they would break easily but we are still on the first one. My father made on out of wood.
Probably collectibles now but great to use for eating outside.

As an electrician I have to advise people to turn off the breaker before you plug in the cord. Not doing so burns the blades and the contacts in the outlet and it will eventually catch up with you or someone.

One restaurant we go to that has dinning outside on the water uses fishing tackle boxes to store everything.

Does anybody ever look under the table and bench before sitting down?
I always use a broom to clean out all the spiders, webs, cooties and any other nasty stuff before sticking my legs underneath.

Sometimes it's really nasty under there!

Always! Once, I saw a scorpion eating a spider under one. Plus, wasps and yellow jackets like to make nests there, too. After being attacked by yellow jackets at the electrical box a week ago, I am going to be hyper alert AT ALL TIMES!!!

Hey, Everything we are going to use at our picnic goes into a basket and out to the table in one trip. Don't forget the hand sanitizer! Some of the surprises waiting for you under the table top and benches could be scorpions, spiders, or wasp nest. Check 'em out!

Also open the electrical pedestal slowly. The last time I was stung by a wasp, it was inside.

Lesson Learned the painful way.

I built a camp box that holds all the stuff for the outdoor table. Nice not to have to take things in and out all the time.

DH just made one....I'm so looking forward to using it!

As for looking under the table............OMG, I've never thought of that!!!!!!

Retro fitted a wicker picnic basket and placed all the table utensils and condiments with in it. Gosh! Looks like a "discerning" woman is in da campground house. Never thought to look under the picnic table..........hmmm.
