Today I invited a few of my friends over for a barbecue, and it was a pretty neat experience. HOWEVER, being the proper geek that I am, I’m already thinking how I can make it better the next time around. You see, I’m taking advantage of a little backdoor patio in my new house to bring out the best in the summer. And late evening outdoor dinner parties are one of my favorite things to do in the summer! There’s something really nice about eating outdoors in the cool, cool summer breeze after a long, hot day.
Well, that’s exactly one of the problems I’m dealing with to make sure the next barbecue is even better. The heat. Rather, the absence of a cool summer breeze. It was just too hot tonight, I was sweating bullets all through the evening… and the fact that I was in charge of handling the grill certainly didn’t help. So, first in my to-do list involves getting some Outdoor Fans (such as the amazing minka aire )to make sure there’s always a breeze when needed be. Now, second on my list comes a proper Kichler Landscape Lighting; simply because spotlight lamps (such as the one I’m using right now) totally wreck havoc with the whole summer evening lounging mood. Hm… getting all these items are gonna set me back a good chunk of cash, but I think it’ll be worth it! There’s nothing like a good summer evening barbecue I tell you!
