Last Minute Man(me)knew when I pulled out to Peoria I would forget one thing :blush:
I get there and realized I left the card table in the shed :blink: :angry: :pinch:

Pulled an "egret" and politely invaded RRP's(Rutland Repair Pro :woohoo: ) real estate. SSN686 briefly filled me in on the egret story when I told him of my invasion :lol:

You can see in a couple of the pics it was a little crammed :evil: I think he blew a Rutland :woohoo: :laugh: when I temporarily and accidentally set my wheat rolls on top of his covered chocolate cake, which was wonderful by the way. I hope it didn't put a cramp in your eggin' Ron. You and the Mrs. were an eggin' machine B)
Monkey bread, ABTs, Reubens, Hodags, wings, chocolate cake. I heard your timer alarm going off in my sleep last night :woohoo:

In all seriousness, a special thanks to the kind hosts(staff) and eggers. ILL EGGER BROS and crew(killer flank skewers and thanks for letting me borrow the grill brush B), SSN686 and Egghatter(great sausage/cheese rolls :) I am looking forward to a shrimpburger at a Fest in the future B)

Wish I took more pics, was having too much fun socializing. I took off a little later than anticipated because of it :whistle:

Did 40 of these little guys. I haven't had the chance to egg these at home and thought why not scale them down for the Eggfest. Thanks Fidel for the inspiration ;) Chicken breast, provolone, peppered bacon, lettuce, roma, and dinner rolls from the bakery with a little spread of Bomba. Got 40 people to try Bomba out of one jar, lots of positive feedback B) Check out the Gerber Bomba Rationing Tool :lol:

Looking forward to next year, might even add another Eggfest(OKC or Texas)
So guard your tables ladies and gents:lol:
As always, thanks for reading :)

    You forgot your card table??!! Good Lord, son.....you need at least 3 8' tables for a fest! I never bothered bringing mine because I always had volunteers begging me to use their tables! I was more than happy to accept their kind generosity since I didn't want to disappoint or embarrass anyone!! :laugh: :woohoo: :woohoo:
    Don't believe a word Jay says! That poor fella doesn't know 'ham' from 'spam'........

    He has only stolen my rib notes to light his egg.
    An entire bottle of rub for ABTs.
    A Global knife.
    Set my cutting board, ect on my cooler. So he could use my table.
    Thrown a golf club farther than he hit it a golf ball.

    Give the man a break!
