M and I have a tradition of having a fancy indoor picnic on Valentine's Day. As we were out of town on Valentine's this year, we have moved the celebration to our anniversary celebration. This is the 13th anniversary of our first kiss - and, surprisingly, it remains the anniversary we celebrate most seriously :) For a long time, we used to go on a mini vacation each year around this time, but the arrival of Mr. T has changed our flexibility a bit. Regardless, we are happy to be celebrating! This sort of picnic is super easy and amazingly festive, with almost no clean up. What a way to enjoy an evening!

Note: We made the chickpeas for the first time tonight. they're awesome. We had them at a tapas place in Ann Arbor and I had them in a salad last week at a restaurant and thought, "we really need a home version of these healthy, protein packets!" They totally rock. Try them.

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: None
Time: 40 minutes for roasting
Make ahead: I'd do the chickpeas in advance.

Reaction
J: "The best celebration!"
M: "Decadent as always - especially because of the company."
