Vegetarians, avert your eyes!
Fired up the Big Green Egg again this weekend to cook fajitas for a close group of friends. By cook fajitas, I mean cook lots of fajitas. We picked up a whopping ten pounds of flank steak from Amazon Fresh and cooked it all. If that wasn’t enough, we also cooked up some chicken fajitas;…

The Egg: It gets hot!
Made fajitas tonight. Got the Big Green Egg up to 750°F. That is all. 🙂

Brisket post-mortem
The brisket from yesterday was well received by the 10 people in attendance. I had six people here that have lived at one point or another in Texas (some as recently as two weeks ago!), and everyone says it tasted authentic. I cooked it to an internal temp of 170°F, and I actually don’t think…

Notes from the morning

Big Green Egg: Pork Loin Roast

We tried a recipe off the BGE website – [Mr. Toad’s Pork Loin](http://www.biggreenegg.com/recipes/pork/mrToadsPorkLoin.htm). I had a 5 pound pork loin roast, followed the directions in the recipe, and threw it in the egg at 300 degrees. About 3 hours later, the pork hit…

New Grill! I’m an “egg”head!
After reading several reviews on the web, and getting inspired by a [co-worker](http://www.seanalexander.com/2006/09/05/LaborDayBBQMeetsTechWizardry.aspx), I decided to buy a new grill. And I’ve eschewed the propane tank forever. I bought a [Big Green Egg](http://www.biggreenegg.com/) from [Thompson’s Hearth & Home](http://www.thompsonshearth.com/bbq.htm) in Issaquah. This thing is a beast! Tips the scales at over 140 pounds, and I can’t…
