How To Carve a Pumpkin!

October is a great month to celebrate the fall season and the many fun activities that come along with it! Halloween will be here before you know it! So, it’s only a matter of time before the kids start asking to shop for costumes and carve pumpkins!

Are you unsure of how to carve a pumpkin? Here’s a “How to” on carving pumpkins, courtesy of marthastewart.com!

Cut a hole in the Pumpkin- The first step in this process is to hollow out the pumpkin. Begin by using a keyhole saw to cut the hole. If you’re considering using a candle inside the pumpkin for illumination, you can cut the hole in the top of the pumpkin. If you’re using electric lights, cut the hole in the bottom or side so you can hide the electric cord.

Scoop out the Flesh- Using a plastic scraper or fleshing tool, scoop out the flesh, pulp and seeds of the pumpkin.

Transfer your Design- Create a design for your pumpkin either using a pumpkin template or drawing your own! Trace the design by poking holes with a sharp awl, needle tool or T-pin.

Carve the Features- Remove the carving template and carve along the pattern with a mini saw or carving tool. There are many ways to get creative with patterns and design while carving!

Illuminate your Pumpkin- An easy way to light up your pumpkin is by wrapping a strand of lights around a glass jar and secure them with tape. Cut a hole in the pumpkin to fit the cord and place the jar inside!

Can you believe it’s August already? This summer seems to be flying by! Have you your big summer BBQ yet? If not, there is still time left to plan a great BBQ with friends and family to celebrate the end of another great summer!

Here are a couple of great recipes that are sure to be a hit at your next BBQ, courtesy of foodnetwork.com!

The Ultimate Barbecued Ribs

Ingredients

2 slabs baby back ribs (about 3 pounds)

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Extra-virgin olive oil

2 bacon slices

4 sprigs fresh thyme

1/2 onion

3 smashed garlic cloves

2 cups ketchup

1 cup peach preserves

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or 1 tablespoon dry mustard

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/4 cup molasses

2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground paprika

Directions

Special equipment: Kitchen twine

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Put the ribs on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Stick them in the oven, and let the ribs bake, low and slow for 1 1/2 hours.

Meanwhile, make the sauce. Wrap the bacon around the middle of the thyme sprigs and tie with kitchen twine so you have a nice bundle. Heat a 2-count of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add thethyme bundle and cook slowly for 3 to 4 minutes to render the bacon fat and give the sauce a nice smoky taste. Add the onion and garlic and cook slowly, without coloring, for 5 minutes. Add all of the rest of the sauce ingredients, give the sauce a stir, and turn the heat down to low. Cook slowly for 20 minutes to meld the flavors. Put some sauce in a separate bowl for basting, reserving the remaining sauce for serving.

Baste the ribs with the sauce and let them continue cooking, basting twice more, for 30 more minutes. When the ribs are cooked, take them out of the oven. You can let them hang out like this until you're ready to eat.

When ready to eat, preheat the broiler for 5 minutes and broil the ribs, basting with the sauce. They should become crisp and charred, about 5 minutes on each side. Pick the onion and garlic out of the sauce and serve with ribs.

Creamy Cole Slaw

Ingredients

1 head green cabbage, finely shredded

2 large carrots, finely shredded

3/4 cup best-quality mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sour cream

2 tablespoons grated Spanish onion

2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste

2 tablespoons white vinegar

1 tablespoon dry mustard

2 teaspoons celery salt

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onion, sugar, vinegar, mustard, celery salt, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl, and then add to the cabbage mixture.

Party Tips for Entertaining in the Summer Heat!

631-447-5216

MrPartyPooper.net 

Are you planning any backyard summer parties this summer? With the recent soaring summer temperatures, you may need a few additional party tips for entertaining in the heat!

One of the first things you should keep in mind is safety. A summer party is one of the best ways to get all of your friends and family together, however, safety comes first! Keep in mind the ages of the guests who are attending your party and keep their needs in mind. If the sun gets too hot and it seems that your guests may be overheated, move the party inside. Also, plan your event for the time of day in which it’s the coolest.

Next, plan ahead! If you have a pool and you know it’s going to be a really warm sunny day, ask everyone to bring a bag of ice over and drop them in the pool to cool it down.  Make sure you have plenty of umbrellas over all outdoor seating so your guests are comfortable. If your event is inside, try and stay out of the kitchen and only serve “grilled and chilled” items.

It is also nice to incorporate seasonal items into your menu and décor. Have plenty of fruits and vegetables around for your guests to grab. Also, place flowers in small containers all around the backyard and house to add a special personal touch. Sprigs of woody herbs like rosemary and thyme are also nice to put on your table to add some fragrance. Frozen ice pop cocktails and berries frozen into ice cubes are also a great personal touch to cool off some of your older attendees!

The kids have probably been out of school for over a month now and you may be running out of ideas on how to keep them entertained! It may be time to turn those everyday summer activities into something new and exciting for the kids!

Here are a few ideas on how to make the summer more fun for your children! 

It’s more than likely that at one point or another, your kids have asked to put together a lemonade stand. How about changing it up and having a bike-washing station! After-all, the benefits are a little bit cooler in the blazing summer heat! The kids can stay cool while scrubbing down their bikes and anyone passing by!

Going to the beach always seems to be a popular request! However, after a while building sandcastles get a little boring! Next time you’re at the beach and are looking for some new things to do suggest drawing lines in the sand and playing hopscotch or draw a long line in the sand have the kids pretend to be on a balance beam! You can also bury a treasure and have the kids dig to find it. Another fun idea is having the kids do a relay race and fill buckets of water and dump them off to the next person! These games are sure to be a hit among your kids!

If you’re thinking about staying home for the day, consider setting up an obstacle course in the backyard and inviting some of the kid’s friends over!

The Fourth of July is finally here! Put on your red, white and blue and let the festivities begin! Many people have the day off and usually plan a special day out celebrating with family and friends!

No matter what your plans are for July 4^th, The American Red Cross wants everyone to have an enjoyable yet safe Fourth of July! They have issued a few simple steps that can insure you and your family stays safe this festive holiday!

Beach Safety: If you’re planning on attending the beach tomorrow, be sure to check the weather and water conditions before you leave and throughout the day. Also, only swim in designated areas and where lifeguards are present at ALL times. Also, watch the sun! You should limit the amount of time you spend in the direct sunlight between 10-4. Drink a lot of water and avoid caffeine and all alcoholic beverages while being in the sun. Make sure to wear plenty of sunscreen and sunglasses!

Other tips:

Actively supervise children at all times - even if a lifeguard is present. Stay within arm's reach of young children when they are in the water.

Have weak swimmers wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket. Don't rely on water wings or inflatable toys.

Always enter shallow water feet first. Dive only in areas marked safe for diving.

Rip Currents: Be aware of the danger of rip currents at all times!

Other tips:

If caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shore until out of the current. Once free, turn and swim toward shore.

If someone can't swim to the shore, they should shout for help, float or tread water until free of the rip current and then head toward shore.

Stay at least 100 feet away from piers and jetties. Permanent rip currents often exist near these structures.

Fireworks Safety: With every 4^th of July celebration come fireworks! Here are some tips to follow to stay safe.

Never give fireworks to small children and always follow the instructions on the packaging.

Keep a supply of water close by as a precaution.

Make sure the person lighting fireworks always wears eye protection.

Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to relight "a dud."

Store fireworks in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.

Never throw or point fireworks toward people, animals,

Grilling Safety: If you’re planning on heating up the BBQ tomorrow, be sure to follow these tips!

Always watch the barbecue grill when in use.

Never grill indoors - not in a house, camper, tent or any enclosed area.

Make sure children and pets stay away from the grill.

Keep the grill out in the open, away from the house, the deck, tree branches or anything that could catch fire.

Use the long-handled tools especially made for cooking on the grill to keep the chef safe.

Never add charcoal starter fluid when coals have already been ignited.

Summer Party Themes That Are Sure To Be A Hit!

631-447-5216

MrPartyPooper.net 

Throwing a themed summer party is a great way to gather your friends and family and enjoy the sunshine. However, sometimes coming up with a theme can be a bit of a challenge! Here are some summer party theme ideas for you to consider for your next summer get together!

A Hawaiian Luau theme is a great and festive theme for the summer and a warm summer night! Focus your menu around small, exotic dishes such as teriyaki beef skewers and sweet –and-sour chicken. If you’re looking to go all out, order a roasted pig from a local restaurant! As for cocktails, let the tropics inspire these! Feature Mai Tais or Pina Colodas at your luau! No luau would be complete without grass skirts, leis and tiki torches! So be sure to order those and have them ready for your guests when they arrive!

A simple cocktail party by the pool is another great way to celebrate the summer. This party’s focus should be drinks, appetizers and pampering your guests! Set up lots of lounge chairs and small tray tables surrounding your pool. Roll up plush pool towels on all the chairs so guests know they’re more than welcome to take a dip! Throw lots of colorful beach balls in the pool and light lots of pillar candles to really set the mood at nightfall! Serve up some tasty finger foods such as bruschetta, mini tacos and sliders. Serve some classic summer cocktail such as gin and tonics, margaritas and cosmopolitans!

Burgers and Beers, does it get any better than that!? Although it may sound simple, the burgers and beer bash is sure to be a hit amongst your friends and family! For the burgers, set up a fixing bar with toppings such as avocado, salsa, remoulade, pickled onions, spicy mayonnaise and crumbled blue cheese. As for the beer, set up a beer tasting! Pick up a few different types of varieties and let your guests rate each beer!

Would you use one of these themes for your summer party? Also, if you need portable restroom facilities for your summer event, contact Mr.Party Pooper or check out our Facebook page linked HERE!

Summer is the best season of the year. The sunshine, pool parties and backyard barbecues are just some of the entertaining things that can be done in the summer. But when throwing that big-time summer bash, you want to make sure that you have everything you need to make the party a success.

The main ingredient of any party is the food and drinks you serve. With the summer season, there are a plethora of options you can pull from. Make sure the quality of the food you get is top-notch that will leave your guests groaning, “Man that was good!”

Make sure that you have grass well-kept, as well as the flowers in your garden and around your house. Pots overflowing with bright flowers and fun foliage soften the space and make it feel naturally festive without having to decorate. Use pots of different heights for a staggered effect and a variety of plants (http://goo.gl/NR4d0).

Also, depending on the size of the party, you don’t want too many people in your house using the bathroom. That’s why you should call us at Mr. Party Pooper, as we will deliver the cleanest toilets and best service in the industry.
