If you have a gas grill, it can be tough trying to figure out if you have enough gas to cook your meal.
Here's a simple way to tell if you need to refill or get a new tank: Boil water, then pour it down the side of the tank. Place your hand on the side: the cool part has propane inside, the warm part is empty. Now you know how full it is!
Keeping ants away from your food can also be a problem during a picnic.
Here's a simple thing to do ahead of time to keep them away: Spray food surfaces, such as picnic tables, with white vinegar before you lay out the food. The vinegar acts as a deodorizer, so ants won’t be able to smell your food, and won’t decide to crash your party.
