More catch up

So I did cook some this summer. I took the BBQ Addicts idea of smoking eggs before making deviled eggs and loved it. I added mayo and dark mustard, sriracha sauce, ABTs with cream cheese, salt and ended with a bit of pimente d'Esplette. The yolks were added and everything mixed thoroughly, then piped into the egg white halves. I don't like deviled eggs usually, but these are great!







I also did a burger, seasoned with espresso infused balsamic vinegar, topped with Humboldt Fog goat cheese, grilled poblana chile, crispy bacon and balsamic-sauteed shallots, with an heirloom tomato slice.



And I went across the river to KY to watch fireworks after a Reds game in August...

Thanks.. and the eggs really are worth it... do them around 200 for 2 hours 15-30 minutes, and the smoke does get in the shell a bit. I'm going to try cold smoking eggs for 24 hours, then boiling them or hot smoking to see if even more smoke gets in.
