so ... what does a person make for a picnic celebrating their 30th?

So far I'm thinking:
Carrot cake cupcakes, described by a workmate as goosebump-givingly good.  It's all in the lime zest.
Mini crustless quiches
a tasty salad of some kind, either quinoa-based or with king mushrooms
and foccacia, loads of it.

Turns out the Botanic Gardens has a list of rules an arm-length long: no ball games, no tents/marquees, and no alcohol.  And any party of over 20 people needs approval SIX WEEKS before the event.  And oh well.
We're at 17 so far, so as long as we find a corner of the Gardens that one doesn't need to book, we should be fine.

Keep your fingers crossed for sunshine!
