For many people, summertime means one thing only: the kickoff of BBQ season. The warm summer weather gives us a chance to take our cooking to the backyard and the perfect reason to invite friends and family to gather together. There seems to be something about grilling food over an open flame that somehow makes everything taste better; plus it’s just more fun cooking outside. Here are some simple ideas to make your backyard BBQ one to remember.

On the more practical side of things, one thing that must be considered is pest control. Nothing can make an outdoor event more miserable than invasion of ants, mosquitoes or any other unwelcome creatures. Use plastic containers with lids or some form of covering to keep ants away. A good defense against moquitoes is to light a few citronella candles or torches and place them strategically throughout the backyard; this really will help keep them away and prevent your guests from unpleasant bites.

When it comes time to set about selecting your menu offerings, don’t forget about one of the most important BBQ components, the drink selection. Nothing kicks off a BBQ better than a cold, refreshing beverage.  Read more...
