How to convince wife on a 2nd EGG ?

It's nice to see where the wife gets an EGG for the husband.
Unfortunately I am one of those EGGers who had to explain why I wanted to get an EGG. I did get an XL last year. To her it is just a COOKING VESSEL and whatever the EGG does can be done on our GASSER or in the oven. It can be a bit frustrating at times. Yes she had enjoyed a few meals the EGG has produced but she has stated in no terms another EGG.
I would like to get either a Large or a Medium. I know I am the one who wears the pants in the family but she has put her foot down, so far. (The way I see it)
Not like it is the end of the world but.............

Do it the easy way: " Think I want a new boat", "Think I want that new $3000 camera". Just set the high and let her bring you down to the price of an egg
Or do like me and win one...... :laugh:Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
"I know I am the one who wears the pants in the family..."
Sorry, Dude - too good to pass up.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

After telling my wife for two years I needed another egg I changed it up last winter and said I need two more. Now I have the OK to but a second :silly:
-
I'm a very new owner myself (less than 3 weeks), but I can see already that I'm gonna want another Egg shortly down the road. My wife gave the 'ok' to an XL, but I chose to grab the Large with a bunch of Eggcessories. This was the first time ever that I downgraded what she was ok with. Hope I can rollover those points I earned when the time comes.
Can you 'WOW' her more with your cooks? If not, I'd start there. Being totally honest here; if she loves the results from the Egg...it should help.
Can you increase your number of quality cooks on the Egg to illustrate the true versatility that it offers? Egg her favorite pie as dessert one night?
Finally, one of my favorite proverbs...
Sometimes it's easier to beg for forgiveness, than ask for permission. :woohoo: -
My ex never cooked again when I bought my second. Unless u consider heating canned corn up cooking.
Mike -
I kind of went with asking for forgiveness after the purchase of my last 4 eggs.
Might want to think small egg. It would look so cute next to the XL your wife could not get mad.
You could also hide the small inside your XL.
May the force be with you...
DarianThank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
Darian,

Just go buy a large and give it to her for her birthday.

Gary,
My wife pulled the trigger on our first. The last couple just showed up.
Designing a fourth into the new ODK. :evil: -

Pat,
I'm gonna start that with rifles. :laugh: In my case it'll work too. -
Might as well pick up a new Lawn Mower to.
Mike -
Gary,
I sympathise with you. I've been in the doghouse seven times. She bought the first one.

Steve,
I was gonna say, get the egg and a doghouse. She'd laugh so hard, she couldn't get mad. :laugh: -
You didn't use the "you started it" excuse?
Mike -
I was thinking I needed a wife. You know to do the shopping, cleaning, laundry and such.
If I gotta get an egg past her than sc**w that!! :laugh:Molly

Mike -
5 now with my mini. Not sure it gets a full point.
Still cheaper than crack and it keeps me off the street.
Take care and good luck on your next one.
DarianThank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
Steve,
Can't wait to check the pad out, kid killin pool and all. :laugh:
I see a chimnea in the future too. -
Sell the gasser and disable the oven. Or just have her read all these great replies.
-

you need to ask her to read your post. next have her read all the replys. she may just give in and let you get that # 2 egg good luck
-
Don't ask, don't tell?? She'll get over it...(in my experience it's easier to get forgiveness than permission). Good Luck!

Buy a demo egg and go to the fest and act like you won it and no one will be the wiser. Tim
