The official season for impromptu plans is here: summer. An innocent message in the WhatsApp group, a chance encounter on a terrace… Any excuse is perfect for opening a bag of chips and keeping the conversation going until the wee hours! After all, the best memories of these months don’t require elaborate planning or fancy labels.
It doesn’t matter if you plan to make the most of your city’s outdoor cafes, if you’re crossing the globe from one end to the other to cross that trip off your bucket list, or if you’re heading back to “your hometown” where you know your loved ones are waiting for you. In the end, summer isn’t a place on the map—it’s a mindset.
That’s why, this year, we’ve teamed up with Frit Ravich to bring you a healthy dose of inspiration so you can make the most of those sunny, warm days—with a series of perfect plans to enjoy the season in the best company and with the unique touch of their homemade potatoes, prepared in the traditional style and fried in a pot with extra virgin olive oil.
A craft workshop with snacks included
Summer afternoons have a different rhythm. Maybe it’s because we have more daylight than at any other time of year, but the reality is that there’s time to do a whole lot of different things. So why not organize a DIY workshop to paint on canvas, mold air-dry clay, or do whatever else comes to mind? Let creativity reign! In the end, everyone will have created their own work of art to be proud of.
A table full of supplies, your favorite playlist, and a few bags of Frit Ravich’s Homestyle Potatoes. A perfect way to create memories that will last a lifetime.
A shady spot… and your favorite board games!
In the coolest corner of the living room, under the garden porch, or in the shade of a tree in your favorite park. The ritual is always the same: lay out the board game or cards on the table, prepare a round of ice-cold drinks, and place a couple of bowls of Frit Ravich’s Caseras potatoes in the center so everyone has a snack within arm’s reach…
It’s a foolproof plan that scores even more points thanks to the abundance of modern games and fun challenges available today. Life has certainly come a long way since Parchís!
Sunset Picnic
Whether it’s in a green corner of the city, at a viewpoint with a view, or on your favorite stretch of beach, any place is perfect for watching the sunset. From there, the formula is incredibly simple: let your friends know to bring the basics to enjoy the moment—that’s it, it’s that simple. Precisely because of its simplicity, this is one of those plans that never fails.
The secret to making the experience perfect? Forget about complicated itineraries that distract us from what really matters: enjoying the scenery, spending time together, and taking a moment to unwind. Less is always more.
Appetizers and meals (the kind that go on and on)
Talking about an aperitif in the middle of summer is a big deal. Just meeting up for a nice cold vermouth paired with some pickles and a bag of Frit Ravich’s Caseras potato chips is a great plan in and of itself, but it’s also the perfect excuse to kill some time while you “work up an appetite” until lunchtime.
Our idea for adapting this to the heat of these days? Move the snack time to a spot near the water: whether it’s a pool, under a beach umbrella, or at a picnic area near any river or reservoir.
The point is to be able to take a dip at some point!
