General Tips for a Sucessful Pool Party Make sure you have some extra towels and flip flops for guests who forget their own. Plenty of umbrellas are a must for guests who prefer to relax in the shade. Use plastic 'glasses' for drinks as broken glass is not what you want to have to deal with. Have lots of inflatable pool toys in the pool so guests can have fun splashing about with them. Choose appropriate music for
your age group of guests and make sure someone is responsible for keeping it playing. Candles come into their own as the sun sets and look very pretty floating in the pool at night. Citronella candles on tables are useful for keeping the bugs at bay and you might like to have some bug spray to hand as well. Mark the depth of your pool with waterproof tape for your guests’ safety. Enjoy a good party!

Lamb souvlaki skewers Ingredients • 1½ kg lamb leg or shoulder (fat trimmed), cut into chunks • 100ml olive oil • 100ml red wine • 2 tsp dried oregano • zest and juice 2 lemons • 2 garlic cloves, crushed Method 1. Put the lamb into a large bowl or strong food bag. Add the olive oil, wine, oregano,lemon zest and juice, garlic and black pepper - don’t add salt yet. Mix together so that all the lamb is completely coated, then chill andmarinate for at least a few hrs or overnight. 2. Lift the chunks of lamb out of the marinade and thread onto 10 metal skewers, or wooden ones that have been soaked. Freeze (see freezing tips, below), or heat a grill, barbecue or griddle pan if you want to eat them straight away. 3. Season the meat with salt, then cook the skewers for 10-12 mins, turning, until cooked to your liking. Serve tucked into warm flatbreads with salad and drizzle with chilli sauce andyogurt. Tip To freeze your skewers Stack in groups on shallow baking trays, then wrap tightly in cling film and freeze. Or simply portion up the chunks of lamb and freeze in separate freezer bags. Don’t put skewers into bags as they might pierce the plastic and let in air , causing ‘freezer burn’. The skewers will freeze perfectly for up to 3 months. Defrost the meat thoroughly (overnight in fridge is best) before cooking. 26 NOVEMBER 2015 | WHAT’S ON SUNSHINE COAST
