An Awesome Eco-Friendly Goodbye Summer Party

Posted by Milena Kukurekovic · September 08, 2020

We are merely weeks away from officially welcoming the wonderful fall season. Pretty soon, everyone will be back into the swing of things, and summer will be but a memory. But before pumpkin spice is back on shelves and you find yourself eating apples and hiking through the chilly forests, you want to have one final end-of-summer bash. So now is the perfect time to say adios to the delightful summers in the most charming way that we know — An Exciting Goodbye Summer Party!

Planning

Whether you’ve been planning to celebrate any toast-worthy event or you are just looking for an excuse to enjoy the warm sunshine while you can - the summer’s end is the perfect time to move the celebration outside. If you have a spacious backyard that scorching temperatures have made off-limits for most of the season, now is the perfect time to reclaim your land.

Keep the menu simple but surprising

Late-summer fruits and vegetables can be some of the most delicious of the year. For ultimate freshness and to support local farmers, consider incorporating apples, cantaloupes, grapes, huckleberries, potatoes, cucumbers, corn, tomatoes, summer squash, and other seasonally available fruits and veggies into your Goodbye Summer Party. Oh, and did we mention that limes are ripe at the end of summer? Hello, margaritas!

Set an awesome eco-friendly table

We all know the temptation to avoid doing the dishes by using disposable plastic plates and utensils. We also all know how damaging that is for the environment, and how quickly it can pile up when a large group is involved. Serving on a completely compostable and fully biodegradable eco-friendly tableware and flatware does not just eliminate the dishes, but it eliminates serious waste too. In fact, Eco Party Warehouse has one of the best selections of earth-friendly tableware available. We can set your entire table, and you can rest assured these won’t be sitting in a landfill for years.

Don’t forget a dessert

Summer’s ending calls for comfort food. It won’t be long before the leaves have fallen, and it’s far too cold to enjoy one of the summer’s best offerings: ice cream. For your party, consider setting up an ice cream bar for you and your guests.

Love your leftovers

Remember to minimize waste by keeping the leftovers. It may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s so easy to just chuck something in the garbage rather than getting creative with it later, or worse, putting the party leftovers in the fridge and leaving them until they go bad a week later. Remember to reuse the party food in sandwiches, wraps, casseroles, and tasty salads.

Follow these easy Eco Party Warehouse steps, and your Awesome Eco-friendly Goodbye Summer party will be the cherry on top of a fabulous summer.

With a love for life and nature, Eco Party Warehouse!

The Perfect Labor Day Clambake

Posted by Milena Kukurekovic · September 01, 2020

Whether you’ve sizzled through summer, counted the days until autumn’s cool relief, or blissfully soaked up the rays for three months, it’s time to give the season a loving farewell.

The summer fun doesn’t have to end just yet. Labor Day is finally upon us, which means this is the perfect weekend to get your clambake on before the summer comes to a close. A Labor Day Clambake on the beach is the perfect and fun way to complete the summer. This way, you can enjoy the end of the summer sun with an inspired menu full of delicious seafood.

A clambake is centered around the preparation and cooking of the food. The key here is to make sure to have all of your ingredients before you get to the beach. Use a wheelbarrow or wagon to get all the food down to the beach. Don’t forget the drinks and ice!

Ingredients:

20 small (1 pound) lobsters
20 pounds clams in the shell, scrubbed
10 pounds mussels, cleaned and de-bearded
10 pounds cod
20 white potatoes
20 sweet potatoes
20 ears fresh corn
5 pounds sausage
3 pounds sweet onions
bushel of seaweed
the clean, wet cloth
tarp

Directions:

At the beach, dig a hole in the sand with the approximate proportions: 2 feet wide, 4 feet long, and 6-12 inches deep. Line the hole with stones from the beach.
Build a fire inside of the hole and cover with rocks. Heat the stones for 2 to 3 hours.
Next, remove coals and embers from the hole. Arrange hot stones evenly across the bottom of the hole. Place half of a bushel of fresh, wet seaweed on top of the hot stones. Work quickly to layer the food on top of the seaweed. The seafood should be layered evenly on top of each other in the following order: clams, mussels, fish, sausage, onions, potatoes, corn, and lobsters.
Cover the food with a clean, wet cloth. Then, place the other half of the seaweed on top of the cloth.
Finally, cover the hole with a sheet of wet tarpaulin to seal in the steam created by the hot stones and seaweed. Allow a very small amount of steam out to escape and relieve the pressure.
Cook for 1-3 hours or until the potatoes are soft.
Serve the seafood with ramekins of melted butter and the liquid base at the bottom of the pot.

There is certainly a lot of work involved in a Labor Day clambake - but it’s worth the effort! When the hard work is done and while the food cooks, enjoy a few ice-cold beers and pass around a guitar.

Create a Perfect Place Setting: To complete the nautical theme, simple and elegant decorations, and tableware like Eco Party Warehouse's fully compostable, eco-friendly sugarcane plates are perfect for a clambake. When the food is ready, simply serve and enjoy!

Keep It Going: After dinner, find a cozy place to enjoy dessert and talk the night away. Just add a few throw blankets, and you are set!

Happy Labor Day!

With a love for life and nature, Eco Party Warehouse!
