Social Distance Picnic in Ojai

Anita, Severo, and I took a field trip to Ojai, for fresh air and hiking. (Hike link).
Then, naturally, we were hungry.

Originally, we were planning to go further north to Santa Barbara and get takeaway from La Super Rica. Sadly, LSR is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (thanks COVID), so we scrambled for an alternate. I had assigned Severo Yelp duty, but all he fixated on was finding Rajas con Crema, which he found, in Oxnard - no help.
I advocated for a picnic in Libbey Park and we ended up finding some delicious food at The Nest.
We ordered off the (limited) online menu, waited under a shady oak, then took our lunches to the park.
Anita sat at a separate table to social distance.
Our food:
• SMOKED SALMON CAESAR SALAD
greens, crispy capers, sourdough croutons, pickled onion, soft boiled egg + almond caesar dressing

• CRISPY BRUSSELS
maple, apple cider vinegar, dijon, hemp seeds + sunflower seeds

• BAO BUNS
pork belly, fermented chile aioli, pickled veggies, serrano, green onion, cilantro + squid ink buns
It was delicious! And the park was so peaceful!
