A summer treat

After a long winter and spring you and your family need a treat. There is nothing like food cooked over glowing coals. Barbecued chicken, hamburgers, franks, and if budget allows, steaks and ribs tempt our appetites and delight our senses as the backyard fills with the aroma of barbecue. Grilling outside is a wonderful way to cook .' It’s great fun and hassle-free! Although outdoor cooking lends itself to informal and carefree cooking, using accurate time and temperature is important for good results. Too hot a grill will sear and burn your meats too soon, not allowing internal cooking to occur. When you’re in a hurry and want a fast meal plan to use processed meats. When heating fully cooked meats such as ham steaks, smoked sausages and franks, use a medium to low temperature. When cooking raw meat use a hot grill just a few minutes to sear all the juices in. and then cont inue to cook over a medium fire. When you’re planning outdoor cookery keep the following cook-out tips in mind. Start the fire in plenty of time. You'll want to allow about 45 minutes for the fire to produce a good bed of coals. Too frequently the cooking is finished before the coals have reached perfection. Fishing is good therapy Fishing is good therapy for both the physical and emotional state of being. Most Americans don't need a doctor to tell them that fishing is a good sport. They likely have seen their doctor sitting in the next boat with a line in the water. Millions take to the lakes and streams across the nation each fishing season. Fishing can be elaborate, complete with a trip to the seashore and renting deep-sea boats and equipment.
