you go grill!

Grilling seems to be the official cooking method of summer, but your oven may need to get back into the action from time to time. If you find yourself turning on your oven this summer, try isolating the kitchen by shutting doors to that part of the house. By containing the heat pumped out by your oven, you will keep the whole house from heating up, kicking the AC into higher gear or melting your friends and family. In the cold weather, do the opposite: channel the oven heat to the rest of the house to keep everyone nice and toasty.
