Big Tigger's 5 Things To Bring – And 5 Things NOT To Bring – To The Cookout

A cookout

When I go to a cookout, I always ask if there if there is anything I can bring. If the answer is “nothing specific,” I always try to bring something anyway. A good rule of thumb is to bring something you really want to enjoy, but enough of it for others to share… 

 

Here’s a list of winners:

 

A BAG OF ICE
Nothing’s worse than whenever the ice runs out.

 

A BAG OF RED CUPS

I take that back – the only thing worse than the ice running out is when cups are a wrap.

 

A BOTTLE

Again, whatever your preferred beverage (adult or otherwise), bring some for you and others to share.

 

A CASE OF WATER

Hydration is always a win at a summer turn-up!

 

MY FAVORITE: ALCOHOL-INFUSED PINEAPPLES
This takes some prep, but soaking pineapple chunks in a tasty yet strong liquor overnight in a Tupperware will produce an amazingly light, yet powerful adult fruit snack.

 

But of course we can't stop there. For those who need a little extra guidance here are:
