Egg-cellent

So we (and by "we" I think we all know who I mean!) have been cooking up a storm on the new Big Green Egg (BGE). We have been taking advantage of the 70degree evenings and grilling every night!

One new thing we tried, that I was very skeptical about is the ABT - Atomic Buffalo Turd. Sounds delicious!! Well, it's a jalepeno pepper, stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon. (below)

Here are the ABT's ready for eating and I must admit they are fantastic. I can eat 6 without blinking! Our neighbor is also a fan but she adds sausage meat to the cream cheese filling for some extra bang! We will be trying that .....

A very large hunk o'porky goodness (above)! This was on the grill for 15 hours - low and slow. And boy, we had no problems eating it! Pulled Pork left overs for a week but oh so yummy!


One particular person is very happy to be at the Egg-Fest. It's a festival where all the food is cooked on the BGE. There is nothing but pork, pork related products and beef on the menu :) No foo foo salads here. The unlimited beers also helped ...



After the Egg-fest we came home and tried our hands at a spatchcock chook. Above is the fella before and below is after it's been expertly deboned.

The spices are put under the skin and a little on top and onto the grill!

MMMM ..... yummy chook!!

Next we're going to try baking on it. At the festival they baked a pie and it was *really* good. Soon we wont need an oven!
