Barbies

Luckily for us, Texans LOVE bar-be-cue. In California, the season would begin usually Memorial Day weekend. Here, it has already begun! :) Over the weekend we went to our neighbours place for a barbie and it was just lovely. Hamburgers, hot dogs, beans, devilled eggs and iced tea. What more you can you want? (Well, beer or wine but that's another story).

In the spirit of the season, we have a new grill aptly named the "Big Green Egg". It's a grill and smoker all in one and we can even bake on it apparently! Our smoker didn't make the journey to Texas and as those lucky enough to have tasted them, MM does a mean rack of ribs on the smoker.

We will keep our Weber (in the background). It's a great barbie and we have the rotisserie attachment that comes in very handy.
And here is our first Big Green Egg meal -
Veal chops with asparagus, fingerling potatoes and a La Crema Chardonnay. mmmm - finger licking good!

Photos like these greatly increase the chances that I will accept a 25 minuted connection via IAH in the hopes of being delayed.
