One of the best things about summer is the sweet smells of cooking on the grill. The food; the smoke; the fresh air. Combine that with the joys of stress-free hours of hanging outdoors with family and friends, basking in the glorious sunshine, and just the pure enjoyment of longer daylight hours and you have a full day to devour.
Let your friends here at Ocean State Job Lot give you a few reminders on things you shouldn’t forget, along with some party photos that’ll brighten your day.
Gathering the goods
In order to get ready for your daily, weekly, or monthly grillings, you’ll want to stock up on all the condiments that make all those tasty treats you’re cooking so delicious. We’re talking about things like:
- Mustard and ketchup
- Barbecue sauce
- Spices and seasonings
Plus, don’t forget the essentials, too! You can never have too much of these:
- Beverages
- Chips and snacks
- These are of course the sides to your main courses of hot dogs, burgers, steaks, chicken, and more, along with the buns and rolls to go with them.
Meanwhile, keep everything in order and under wraps with a few of these:
- Storage containers with covers
- Napkins
- Aluminum disposable pans
- Paper plates
- Tablecloths
- Pop-up food mesh covers
