Make the backyard a fun destination

(StatePoint) With many events canceled and public venues closed, the backyard is likely going to be the new hot spot destination for families nationwide. But staying home doesn’t have to be boring. Using these tips, you can put together an afternoon of sunshine and fun, right in your own backyard.

Create a theme night
Choose a different theme for every backyard BBQ you enjoy with your family – whether it’s all songs about summer or you focus on a particular decade, you can create a specialized playlist to set the tone and dress for the occasion.

Game on
You may be feeling a bit cooped up these days, so be sure to play some yard games that allow you to stretch your legs as well as concentrate. Cornhole and bocce make great choices, or set up outsized versions of your favorite board games that are best played outdoors.

Cool off
Keep a cooler of delicious drinks handy to stay refreshed on a warm day. Iced tea is always a summer classic, but be sure to have a variety of flavors on deck to satisfy everyone’s taste buds – sweet tea, zero calorie sweet tea, and tea mixed with lemonade, to name a few. The high-quality, fresh beverages offered by Milo’s are made with natural ingredients and have no added colors or preservatives.

Focus on the food
For delicious wings, you don’t need to head to a favorite restaurant. You can prepare them at home with this recipe for Milo’s Sweet Tea Wings:

Ingredients:
• 3 cups Milo’s Sweet Tea
• 2.5 pounds chicken wings, cut into drums and flats
• 2 teaspoons garlic salt, divided
• 1.5 – 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, depending on heat preference
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 2 teaspoons lemon pepper

Instructions:
• In a medium bowl, whisk together Milo’s Sweet Tea and 2 teaspoons garlic salt; set aside. Place chicken wings in a large shallow dish. Pour Milo’s mixture over chicken; cover and refrigerate for 8 hours.

• Preheat grill to medium or oven to 400 F.

• In a large bowl, combine remaining garlic salt, cayenne, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika and lemon pepper. Toss chicken and spices in large zip lock bag or bowl until evenly coated.

• For grill, place wings over heat turning frequently. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees and skin is crispy.

• For oven, arrange wings on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through, until skin is browned and tips are crispy. Serve warm. For extra crisp, toss wings on the grill over medium-high heat for three minutes per side before serving.

  33. Attenzione anche alla Seria A, che vanta nomi di spicco e una grande qualità in campo. Ad oggi il campionato è suddiviso in quattro gironi, per un totale di ben 22 squadre.

    Un gol che è una scarica di adrenalina ma anche un modo per l’Inter per controllare il match. La Juve si affida agli anticipi di Chiellini dietro e agli uno-contro-uno di Vlahovic in avanti, ben marcato da De Vrij in una sfida totale. I bianconeri sono costretti a spingere e dopo il 20′ trovano continuità con tante azioni pericolose. Il protagonista è Handanovic: prima stoppa Dybala, poi compie un prodigio, una parata sensazionale, su un potentissimo diagonale di Vlahovic. Ma le occasioni bianconere non sono finite: De Ligt e ancora Dybala sfiorano l’1-1. Qui troverai tutti i contenuti che hai segnato come ‘vedi dopo’. Attualmente la Juventus si trova 5° in classifica con 25 punti (frutto di 7 vittorie, 4 pareggi e 2 sconfitte); invece l’Inter si trova 7° in classifica con 24 punti (frutto di 8 vittorie, 0 pareggi e 5 sconfitte).La Juventus ha segnato 20 gol e ne ha subiti 7; l’Inter ha segnato 25 gol e ne ha subiti 19.

    You’ll have to remember that these free bonus offers are only available once at each casino or sometimes per casino or company. If you sign up and use your free bonus, you can’t simply create another account to claim a new online casino no deposit bonus again. If you do this, the casino won’t pay out any winnings to you.  There are many great NJ free-play bonuses, making it hard to pick just one. For players who are not in a rush, the FanDuel no-deposit promo code is the best in terms of value and rollover requirements. However, the DraftKings NJ no deposit bonus code unlocks the $50 free credits instantly, which is something many players prefer. Pala NJ Casino, Borgata Casino, and BetMGM offer lucrative offers to new players, so go with the flow and pick the site with the most games appealing to you, or claim them all!

Matches between the two teams would often attract large attendances and would sometimes end up in violent clashes between supporters. A 2012 survey has shown that Chelsea fans consider Tottenham to be their main rival, above Arsenal and Manchester United.

    Every time Guardiola’s side played into Chelsea’s line-up, City bypassed their opponent’s first line of players. This brought the likes of Havertz, Mason Mount and Werner into excellent positions to counterattack because as soon as Chelsea won the ball back, City were often left in a three-vs-three situation against really fast players. Club legend Didier Drogba turned hero for the Blues on the big night as he equalised in the 88th minute of the match to keep Chelsea alive. Thomas Muller had earlier handed Bayern the lead in the 83rd minute. There is just one flaw. Success is not a formula. Not this sort of success, anyway, the success that relies on an alignment of the stars and the rub of the green and the minutiae of countless little moments. That is the undeniable, untameable nature of sport: that, in the end, there is always something that you cannot account for, something that you cannot control. That, sometimes, things do not turn out the way they should.
