In appreciation of a lovely day off

The clouds mimic lilacs plunging into a liquid gold ocean, propped up by the pink sand seafloor falling over the horizon. Under the day’s waning light, a picnic is spread on the ground — succulent meat, soft bread, crunchy coleslaw and crisps. Every bite nourishes energizes satisfies. A filling treat brings a fitting end to a flawlessly amorous day.

Thanks for the prompt of satisfaction, Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她)! I agree that tourtière is amongst the most satisfying treats. So are picnics on extra long weekends.

I’m bringing Nada Chehade, Tara Desai, David Rudder, Kyomi O'Connor & Laurie Perez into the fold if you haven’t already responded to this prompt and feel so inspired.
