Even in the country, the delicious aroma of a barbecue travels across the area and announces that the season has officially started. Whether you have a deck or patio, celebrate good weather with outside events. Traditional picnic foods like coleslaw, potato salad and chicken make it easy to gather family and friends to the table for a meal. Those fortunate enough to have a spit over their grill frequently use it for a spit roast BBQ. Perfect for special occasions or an ordinary meal at home, it is an ideal offering for guests and family.
Clean the grill from top to bottom using water and safe solutions. Dry each part after rinsing it well. Leave any tied strings secure on the roast as it helps the meat stay intact during the cooking process. Use a toothpick to poke several holes in the roast and insert small bits of garlic and onion that will add flavor while cooking. Prepare a marinade in a large zip bag, add the roast and refrigerate it overnight. Adding salt after cooking helps prevent the roast from drying out.
Once you know who will be at the barbecue, decide which foods to serve. Adults usually want a more balanced meal, so prepare steaks or roast beef along with the side dishes. Grill your favorite veggies instead of cooking them on the stove. Late afternoon brings the sunset and a gentle breeze to make visitors feel at home while they wait for the spit roast to finish cooking. Small tables around the patio and the picnic table set give plenty of room for people to sit. At times, you will find the group hanging out by the barbecue, waiting for everything to finish cooking.
In the event you decide to have hamburgers as well as the roast, you can make them plain or fancy. Slice mushrooms and tomatoes ahead of time. Making things like special sauces and fried bacon strips for the barbecue is better when done ahead of time. Put the packet on the grill about 3 minutes before serving to warm slightly and then set them on the table for anyone who wants bacon with their hamburger. Cheddar, provolone and jack cheese are all delicious slices to put on the hamburger before eating. Cover it with the bun to encourage melting.
An advantage of solar lights is the gleam does not interfere with the starlight from above. They brighten pathways and steps around the yard. Colorful solar lights in the pool, pond or garden area are a great conversation piece. Low voltage outdoor lighting is another way to brighten the area with style. Both economical and eco-friendly, people will relax more with the glow chasing away the dark of night and adding to safety from tripping or falling.
Rather than facing a pile of dirty dishes, use disposable cups, plates, and tableware. The guests will readily place their trash in a convenient trash bin lined with a plastic bag. If you have a tablecloth on the table, use hanging weights to hold it down when the wind blows. One method of getting help with cleanup is to invite guests to pack up food they want to take home. The event will be fun, as well as a success.
