It's not often I buy something that I am so happy with as I am with my Green Egg.
My friend Serge was 100% right when he told me I would be 4 months ago.
I remember it very well.
He said, 'when do you think it's the right time to buy such a device? When are you 40 years old? or 50? or when you are in your golden years? You love grilling so why not give yourself this.'
He said, 'Mark. Life is for living. And that is today.'
I still waited another 4 months because it's not in my nature to just buy expensive things. The recent rise in crypto pushed me over the edge. Now or never.
I have used it every day since I got it. I have realized there is more to it than cooking with it. It also has the power to destress me after a day of work.
I checked the weather all day today. It was raining. But at 19:30 it would stop! Such Luck!
I went to the normal supermarket this time to see what they had. For some reason, supermarkets hate fat on their meat. I don't know why. I started to dig.
The green egg is very efficient with coals. This is grill session number 3 on the same batch.
I found two nice marbles pieces and one ribeye that looked rather lean. But beggers can't be choosers.
I have made grilled vegetables on the egg a couple of days ago and it was delicious. I decided to do the same again. Eggplant with quality olive oil and sea salt.
Bianca took this shot two days ago. But it gives an impression of the vegetables.
I shared a new nice Bourbon barrel aged beer with my dad (he's going up North tomorrow). He said it was one of the most special beers he ever tasted.
The end result. Rice and beans we always seem to have somewhere. It's the national food of Brasil. The meat was delicious and the vegetables perfectly grilled with an extra splash of olive oil.
