How To Throw an Amazing BBQ

Just because you live in an apartment doesn’t mean you can’t have a cookout every once in a while. Just put your grill on the balcony or patio and go at it. Here are a few tips for hosting an amazing BBQ this summer.

Menu: BBQ’s can turn into a mess with foods and sides all over the place. Take back control of your food with a menu of meats and dishes that actually make sense. Does your event really need four types of salad? Stick to a simple menu instead.

Signature drink: you can have other drinks, like beers and wine. But a signature drink for everyone to imbibe is always a fun and conversation starting idea.

Start early: certain meats can take a while to cook. Chickens and ribs (and other pieces of meat) typically do better with a long, slow cook. So start cooking those meats a few house in advance. The burgers and hot dogs, however, cook quickly, so wait until the guest have arrived for those.

How To “Summer”-ize Your Apartment this June

Now that summer is here, your apartment might need a bit of a makeover. A home that was equipped for the fall and winter might not do so well once the weather begins to heat up. Here are a few tips for “summer-izing” your apartment his June.

 

Thinner curtains: replace your heavy and dark toned drapes with something thinner and more colorful. Thin curtains will let those late night summer breezes right into your apartment and help cool everyone off.

 

Light bedding: your bedding is another area that needs to be switched out during the summer. Those heavy and thick blankets will make you miserable once the weather gets bad, so buy some thin blankets now.

 

More mirrors: add a few extra mirrors in your bedroom or living room will help capture that extra summer daylight and brighten up a dark space with ease. The mirrors will also add a new look to your décor.

Who Has the Best Pancakes Near Your Apartment

Making pancakes can be tough. Most of the time they come out a gooey mess and they look nothing like the pancakes we see on tv and movies. If you are looking to make a great pancake, try replacing some of the milk with a carbonated beverage to help create that light and fluffy texture. Another trick is to let the batter rest overnight which will create light and fluffy cakes because of the reactions created by the baking powder. Those tips are great, but until you become an expert pancake maker, here is quick list of three great pancake spots to try near your apartment.
