My favorite dining style is Al Fresco. There’s something about dining outside while being surrounded by nature and a fresh cool breeze that creates a romantic dining experience. Donald, on the other hand, prefers his meals in front of the tellie. In his opinion, there’s only one way to enjoy your food and that’s with the all too familiar sound of the tellie, including commercials. Thank goodness we have friends in town which is my opportunity to dine on the patio. I reserved our table by suggesting burgers on the patio for dinner.

Dining outside should be casual and relaxing, it doesn’t matter if you whip up a quick 30 minute meal like theses burgers and fries or do a drive by for take out on your way home from work. Just transfer your take out meal to outdoor serving dishes, grab your favorite beverage and a seat at the table.
Tip: keep it simple, it’s all about relaxation.

 
Tip: use outdoor dinnerware to prevent breakage.
Tip: place extra condiments, napkins, and drinks on a caddy and place outside.
