It's 20 degrees out in NJ! Too cold to Egg? No way - wife put together homemade meatballs, I'm grilling them and asparagus.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Sorry for thinking 20 was cold. It was 30 this morning on its way down to 12 tonight. Sorry for insulting you and wasting your time.

    You misunderstand, my friend. There is sort of an ongoing thing around here between the wuss's down south who think 70° is cold - vs those of us in the north who think 20° is T-shirt weather (well, almost anyway). 20° IS cold. No one meant to insult you, so please don't be offended. As you get to know us, you will find that little is sacred around here!

    That said, I'm headed out to check on my egg (pizza night). 20°, boat shoes and no socks, of course. :laugh:

    No worries, I'm just being a wise guy too. Meatballs were awesome. On tap for Sunday football is a rack of baby back ribs - dry rub and bbq sauce TBD. Sunday's high - 23 degrees. haha

    It was 17°F below zero here last night.

    When I took these off the BGE it was 2°F.

    And I'm just in central Minnesota. We don't even live where it's cold. I'd have to move to International Falls for that.

    There were some good ribs. Certainly worth having to shovel my Egg out of a snowdrift. I don't mind grilling in the cold as long as the wind stays down.
