Prepare Your Kitchen in Time for Summer Fun!
Life moves pretty fast sometimes, and the summers are an opportunity to take a moment to appreciate all the comforts of home, friends, and family. And, a celebration isn’t a celebration without food! Tasty treats are an essential part of any family get-together. And the more creative the treats, the more it feels like a very special occasion. So, read on to learn about some great summer treats and activities for family and friends, along with ways plumbing can play a role.
Refreshing Treats Beat the Heat
A little imagination is all anyone needs to create delicious and summery treats for Independence Day. Kids love colorful treats, and rice crispy treats are one of the easiest to change. Since the famed cereal is already white, mix in your favorite colors and create their masterpieces!
Whether it’s rainbows, beach ball colors, or anything in between, it’s a whole lot of family fun.
Of course, one doesn’t have to use food coloring to get delicious, colorful foods. Strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, and even mango are great for creating healthy and vibrant snacks. Throw a little yogurt in the mix, and all the colors are there! Or, for a slightly less healthy choice, replace the yogurt with marshmallows and use some toothpicks to make miniature skewers to cool down after a day outside!
Summer Cookouts
Of course, who can forget the joy of a July cookout! There’s something about being outside in the summer heat, enjoying the great outdoors, and the company of others. Some people go for hotdogs and hamburgers while others grill up some bratwurst or chicken. No matter the food, it’s important to be prepared for the stress that often comes with the kitchen.
Additionally, for homes with a natural gas connection to power those outdoor kitchen setups, having gas lines inspected is key. Be on the lookout for increased utility costs, foul odors, and general discomfort near a gas-powered appliance. All these symptoms could warn a homeowner of an impending emergency.
Kitchen Plumbing Is Essential
The same goes for bathroom plumbing. With so many guests, toilets, sinks, and even bathtubs can get a lot of use. Always keep a garbage receptible near said fixtures to encourage guests to dispose of waste properly. Of course, for homeowners that want to be proactive, schedule a professional drain ceiling ahead of a party can go a long way to preventing any unexpected summer plumbing emergencies.
