Tag: big green egg
He’s at it bright and early. 9am.
Individually slathering and stacking in their own tin foil pouches. 
Another secret concoction is spread on top (shhhh, there’s Apple Juice in there!)
“If you could see what I’m seeing right now…”
Ready to eat? (Don’t forget the big bowl of pasta salad)
Dig in.
Dreaming of the Big Green Egg.
Ain’t that just the prettiest sight there is.
Oh, it was a good day.
Bright and early, my Father decides to move his Big Green Egg into the warm sun.
Everyone is very patient for dinner, even Big Ball, the cat.
And SOJA, the one-track-mind dog.
Finally, the smoking is complete.
Laying it to rest, for an hour:
Then- surprise!
Let the carving begin.
On the side we have creamy coconut rice and Asian coleslaw.
And gravy. Don’t forget the gravy.
It wasn’t even a Sunday and out came the big green egg.
We were even kind of healthy. Kind of.
Look, see those leaves in the background?
Father was frothing at the bit to show me what was inside.
He carefully turned the chicken while clutching an icy Rum and Coke in the other hand.
The final tablescape: Seasoned chicken topped with pieces of smoked pork belly. Served with a chopped egg summer salad (walnuts, blue cheese, craisins, dressing medley). MMMM.

Fresh from Uncle Scott: Smoked Pork Ribs on the Big Green Egg.
The early stages:
Rack ’em and stack ’em using my Father’s special rack.
After 6 hours, they emerge- Glistening.
The force is strong with this one.

Borrowed Eggs Smoke Just as VALL
Holiday FEASTS!
The feast: 8 pounds of rib eye steaks, thai chicken breasts, soy-rizo patties.
On someone else’s smoker.
Tastes even better.
Plus, it was really dark. So that was fun. We told scary stories.
Next feast? World Cup Finals.
Back down at uncle Brettskie’s we massage our meat. Extra points for the sanitary gloves.
David is very pleased to have yet another BBQ at his fingertips.
Look! See! Meat! German Kielbasa and steak tips. Marinated in Italian salad dressing, salt, pepper. THE FULL SMORGASBORD (Go Germany!)
“How the fuck do I turn it off”
Then we went meat shopping. Costco, we love you.
A holiday of feasts well done:

The Smorgasbord
Got a little bit of everything today…starting with a sheet of 50:50 lamb beef burgers for the BARBIE.
Be sure to tend the egg. Love and Care.
Let ‘er sit and crank it up to 500 F.
On the menu we have boneless chicken breasts (for the cat and dog), beef tri-tip and lamb popsicles. And for a side: double stuffed, twice baked (artery-clogging) potatoes. 
The master slices lovingly.
How’s that for a spread?
Next up: BATTLE OF THE LASAGNAS
The contestants: Caramelized Onion Herb Ricotta versus Double Bacon Mushroom MEAT.
And a battle it was.
I think everyone is a winner.
Oh, and we even have a guest post from Young Padawan himself: Pulled Pork on the Big Green Egg-
An all day affair. This one will make your mouth water.
See that sheen? The glisteningly moist tender beef brisket?
Father started with a treatment of Joe Valdez’s special seasoning the day before. We love you Joe.
Left to fester all night. Even the dog was excited.
Then Father prepared the smoker with lump charcoal. And soaked apple wood chips for 24 hours in water.
Smoker to 700 degrees, then lowered to 300…then 200 degrees. Then in goes the meat.
Make sure you’ve got a tray underneath with ~2 quarts of water, beef oxxo cube and a little bit of beef broth.
At 2pm Father took the beef off the smoker and placed it in a tin foil pan with 1 stout beer. Left to fester again on the smoker until 5pm, covered. Then removed and let stand. Stand by me baby.
Opened all the vents and placed the veggie-roasting pan on the Egg to get nice and hot. Smoked the olive oil and balsamic vinegar-covered potatoes for 40 minutes.
Then switched the potatoes for the mixed vegetable medley.
Roast, roast, roast.
The master slices his creation.
With coconut pecan fudge brownies to finish…
