The Naval Academy flyover is this friday. Always an incredible sight. Well, another thing we think about memorial day, getting together with family and firing up the grill. It is the unofficial start of summer, after all. There are a lot of things to keep in mind to make sure you and your family are safe. First, dont grill near your house or indoors like inside a garage. You cant put the grill on the balcony, either. In fact, its illegal to grill within 30 feet of the apartment or on a balcony in Prince Georges County. It seems pretty obvious, but never use gasoline to ignite your grill. And this is an easy make, too. Dont leave food out for too long. Food also needs to be chilled. Your condiments, people have the general perception youre cooking outside and the food can be out all day. It cannot. Two hours is a general rule under 90 degrees. Hotter than 90 degrees, make sure your food stays chilled. Of course, you have to make sure your food is cooked enough so you dont get sick. A food thermometer can help you make sure you get to the right temperature. With all the different meats you may be grilling, and the best way to prevent a fire. Stay near the grill. Keep a bucket or se nearby in case there is an issue. Dont forget about it. You go inside and start the vegetables, you forget about that stuff. Your time is 6 25.
