EGGwegofest 2009

09-26-2009, 08:49 PM

last weekend after too many red stripes i decided i would drive 6 hours to chicagoland just to meet ronL, willkat, and stoke&smoke at the EGGwegofest. i wouldn't have gone up there if these guys were not there.

here's what i cooked

grilled pineapple marinated in rum and brown sugar

pizza all day!

with homemade italian sausage from the guy next to me. i wish i could remember his name. he put out great sausage all day long.

this one was too big for the pizza stone

someone asked for a vegetarian with no meat so i made half italian sausage and half cheese.

the vultures circle

and dive for the kill!

the people in the back of the line look pissed!

and here's a shot of me making bananas foster taken by AZRP. i kinda edited it a little.

Welcome back, Brother!

I need you to call Mrs tx, just so I can seal the deal on a Large BGE.

No you're not. I've been to the banana secion at Wal-Mart. The adobo sauce iis placed nowhere near the bananas. Ieat bananas twice a week. Therefore, I'm an expert.i

Looks like a great time.

Looks like you had a great day Rick, thanks for the cool pictures of outstanding looking food.

. they look concerned about something. what else could it be?

zydecopaws · 09-26-2009, 09:36 PM

You are truly the pizza master, and the reason I started cooking it on a Weber kettle instead of in the oven. Great to see you back, and you should know by now that Bananas Foster don't have adobo in them, they have beer from Australia...

It was a pleasure meeting you Rick!

I learned a ton.

I didn what my tag line <<<<<< said and just shut the fark up and listened. There was a ton of good Egg info being exchanged for us newer guys, as all the veterans answered the questions (sometimes over and over).

Good also to meet Amy, as well as see Dann, Diane, and Ron again.

Got to meet a few from the Egghead forum too.

I'll try and put a summary of what I saw, ate, and learned, but I'm kinda tired. Glad I got there nice and early and to see some of all the Brethren cooks in action.

Couple quick notes:

Ron, this has happened to us on too many occasions. Lesson Learned: When we get the "it would be great to get a picture of all the Brethren together" thought, we need to STOP AND DO IT!!!

Dann: You can use a Dutch Oven at Arthur. I was bullchitting you that it was against the Amish' religion and it must be respected. I was shocked I kept a straight face!!

landarc · 09-27-2009, 01:37 AM

Looks like a good time, except for the angry mob wanting pizza.

Theboz1419 · 09-27-2009, 01:42 AM

Your pizza was fabulous, But........you need to learn how to throw the dough, hehe. I want an Egg just for pizza now, after tasting the pizza.

Ron's wings were Awsome, just wish I had more.

It was nice to meet some of you

I wish I could have stayed longer.

Whomever made the Shirmp with a spicy lemon marinade, I want that recipe. And I never thought something as simple as Cabbage and butter would be really good.

ljh34465 · 09-27-2009, 06:34 AM

Looks like a good time was had by all (except those frowning).

I agree with Bill, wish someone got photos of all the Brethern.

Rick, I love your "perceived thoughts" from the crowd

And I for one am glad there was a photo of Rick - really like the idea of putting a face with all his comments (and he does not look Mexican at all so that might explain a few things

)

smknhotmama · 09-27-2009, 07:06 AM

So glad to put a face with the beautiful pron you post.
