Christmas in New Orleans - Always Good

Spring Chicken

Remember a couple of years ago we surprised Nephew # 1 (aka Dart Vader, aka David) with a Large Egg at the dealer in Metairie, Louisiana? Well, in the past few months we enjoyed seeing him take to it like a duck to water.

And for Christmas, he had it going again. Here are some photos of him in action:

This one is him proudly showing off his Egg and giving the Egghead Sales Pitch to a soon-to-be in-law as he cooks some Magnum Loads.

He recently expressed an interest in Wok Cooking and Pizza Making. So we bought him some tools to help make it work:

Wok and wok spatula from Ace Mart and a Spider from Ceramic Grill Store.

Also a Pizza Peel with his Egghead Handle (Dart Vader) burned into the handle

We also handed out some absolutely perfect Lawn Ranger tools to the new Eggheads who will soon be having birthdays. Chase and Cheryl just got married last month and David will be marrying Michelle in May.

Also, on the way to New Orleans, we stopped by Gator Cove in Lafayette to see Chef Wil and his wife Tisa. They were both working and treated us to lunch: Shrimp PoBoys and Gumbo. It was good seeing them again. He seldom posts but he does lurk.

It was a very, very good Christmas.

Oh, and if you have about seven minutes to spare, you can even watch the Movie.

Now you know why we're so tired and why I'm going to make me a tall Muddy Blary...

Happy New Year everyone.
