Que Calendar 2014
COVER
JANUARY
STIR FRY ON THE EGG: Even in the dead of Winter you can make stir fries on the Egg. All of these dishes were cooked in the Winter with the Big Green Egg running at 650 degrees with the air temperatures ranging from -3 to 20 degrees. The only thing that had trouble warming up was me.12
FEBRUARY
CHICAGO STYLE DEEP DISH PIZZA: The homemade pizza crust was partially cooked in the ceramic pizza pan & is ready to be filled beginnig with Cheese (Top Left). Next come Pepperoni & Ham (Top Right). The Sauce & more Cheese are added (Lower Left) and the pizza bakes for 25 minutes (Lower Right).
MARCH
NOW THAT’S GRILLED ITALIAN!!: Grilled Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana (Top Left). Grilled Cheese Garlic Bread (Top Right), Grilled Meatballs with Smoked Tomato Sauce (Middle & Bottom Left & Bottom Center), Meatlover’s Calzone (Middle Center & Lower Left).
APRIL
NEW KITCHEN: April saw my Kitchen shut down for renovations. The renovation included al new finishes from floor to ceiling, new appliances & new cabinets with undercounter lighting. The redesigned Kitchen added 6’ of new counter space (Lower Left) and made better use of the existing (Bottom)
MAY
The publication of the Wicked Good Burgers cookbook resulted in a flurry of burgers coming off the grill in May & June, They featured freshly ground ground beef, homemade rolls & homemade condiments. The burgers were grilled using both the open grate & the flat top griddle grate.
JUNE
NEW EGGLANDFEST: This year marked my first trip to the New England regional Eggfest where I had a wide variety of amazing food & met some great people including Dr. BBQ, Ray Lampe (4 pictures Top Left Quadrant), Later that weekend I made my first kebabs on the Egg (Top Right & Bottom)
JULY
This is the rib recipe from the Wicked Good Barbecue cookbook that won the 2009 Jack Daniels National BBQ Championship together with some Boss Hawgs BBQ Beans. To say these ribs were Wicked Good is an understatement!!
AUGUST
GRILL GAZEBO: With the work on my indoor Kitchen completed, I turned my attention to my outdoor Kitchen. I added two lights to it in the Spring & added two base cabinets in the Summer. The two new cabinets were the base cabinet for my original Large BGE and the 3 drawer base cabinet.
SEPTEMBER
SMORGASBORD: As these pictures prove you can cook virtually anything on the Egg - from Breakfast to Desert: Stuffed Pork Loin in a cedar boat (Top), Buttermilk Pie (Middle Left), Buttermilk Biscuits (Middle Center), Wicked Good Pulled Pork (Bottom Left & Center), and BBQ Scotch Eggs (Bottom Right).
OCTOBER
EGGTOBERFEST XVI: The highlight of the year for me was when Debbie and I went down to Stone Mountain, GA outside of Atlanta for the EGGtoberfest. Several hundred people pay to cook on BGE’s and feed over 3,000 tasters. Debbie & I were tasters & I think she had even more fun than I did.
NOVEMBER
THANKSGIVING: Everything here but my Mom’s meat stuffing was grilled , smoked or baked on the Egg from the Apple Brined Turkey which was smoked roasted using a recipe called Herb Roasted Turkey, to the Cloverleaf Rolls and the Eggnog Bundt Cake & hermits for dessert.
DECEMBER

Thanks to both of you. @JerkChicken I don't know whether you saw it or not, but in August, on the one-year anniversary of getting my first egg, I posted a huge picture post of some of what I had done over the previous year. That's the post that really shows the versatility of the Egg! Check it out if you didn't see it before:You will have to go back a page when you get there. I could not fix the link to go to Page 1 directly.

Have a blessed holiday my friend!I have really missed being out at the grills. I write a year in review type blog at the end of every year, which is what I was doing this morning before work. In looking back at this year I find I only grilled 4 times since the end of July. Shocking!! One good thing is the extra money allowed me to pick up an AR, a Swing Rack and a Thermapen. I bought all of them just before attending Eggtoberfest and I only just got around to opening the AR and Themapen Thanksgiving morning. Still need to crack open the swing rack,

Good to see you back. You've been missed. Your Ginormous Picture Post is legendary. Nice Job on the calendar. The versatility you show in your Egg cooks are fantastic. Hopefully you will be able to get out there and are able to share more often this coming year.Madison, CTLBGE June 2013.

Thank you, I hope to make it back soon as well. Just when I thought it was safe to go outside and grill, I landed more work today. I do have some things that are going to be fun planned for Christmas. Some things i've never made before.
I know I've said this before: But I love your forum handle! -
The only thing missing is Salado....,
