Next week is ine of the biggest grill days of the summer. So we are going to review a few safety things. I am sure you know these. I used to get so excited for the grilling and often forgot basic safety.
1. Fire extinguishers! Who knows how many fires happen on the 4th? Seriously! I lose track. I recommend keeping at least four at hand. Close enough that two steps and you’ve got one.
2. Wild fire alerts! Be alert of wild fire risk. We’ve been experiencing issues with smoke from Canadian wild fire smoke. Just be aware of the risk of spreading a fire. Also, be aware of drought related fire risk.
3. Fire works! We have that neighbor who thinks he’s an artist with fire works. The guy can barely get out of bed without tripping over lint but he’s a pro on fire works. 🙄🤨 Make sure you have a fire extinguisher close and 911 ready to be called.
4. Food safety! Here’s another biggie that sends people to the ER. If you can make a salad without mayo or dairy products awesome. Kroger’s has a spaghetti salad that is awesome and there’s no dairy. There are many salads and dressings that don’t have dairy and won’t have any left. Like Olice Garden’s salad dressing! Hell yeah! It’s just as good as what you get at the restaurant. Vegetable trays are awesome for BBQs. Baked BBQ Beans!!!!
5. SERVE DAIRY PRODUCTS LAST MINUTE! Sounds like contradictory. If you are hosting or attending a BBQ at someone’s home, than place your salad with dairy based dressing in the fridge and bring it out at the last minute.
