Picnic Perfect

It is summer, and these are the best days of my life.

On the menu: McCarren Park, a wildly refreshing poached-pink sunset breeze, chilled Baudry Chinon, spicy cold corn salad, basil chicken salad, bocconcini, cherries, peach pie, and my special leftover creations: cold, thinly sliced five-spice-rubbed duck breast and scallion fried rice with 10-second eggs in a wok.

Divine.
