You could say that. I was at restaurant depot and loaded up and left about the same time Kim was pulling in - 9:00am yesterday morning.

I have close to 500 pounds on hand now between 20 bags of RO, a few bags of BGE, and a couple WGC WW.

I picked up 9 slabs of ribs in there too, and will go back for a shoulder clod and my next brisket. I saw an 18 pounder in there.

vidalia1 · May 2008

I did get some lump but not near as much as Rod (Fidel)... :P I mostly got meat. That was my first visit to that store and it was great...

those are Pine Nuts..Ginny buys them at Costco in a 1 or 2# bags...we love them on pizza & salads...

I just used the regular No Knead recipe..I then finely shredded Asiago Cheese (1 Cup) I put the cheese during the last step of the fold of the dough. I tried to work it in well and put some on top...

it tasted great even though the bottom of the bread got burned...I just cut it off & no one even knew...next time I will use 1 1/2 cups just to try it...I also want to add Pine Nuts to the bread... :laugh:

BENTE · May 2008

yea well with the price you paid i bet you will start hoarding the rest of your stash like i do.. i still have some WW i got from CW last summer. now i only have half a bag and i have only used it when my guru was down. but i still have it and i will proabably buy some more (wish i could find some CB). but i have been there 3 times including eggtoberfest and will go there in a drop of a hat for more but i have 15 bags on hand right now no need to make a 4 hour ride for nothing :woohoo:

but i did not see any hangers in your basket... whats up with that???? they are $2.45 a lb i mean come on

BENTE · May 2008

i guess we should just go ahead and call you pinenut or maybe that can be ginny's handle :laugh:

Fidel · May 2008

I saw the hangers but already had the weekend cooks set and I am leaving for Seattle Tuesday and coming back late Saturday - so I didn't want to freeze them.

I'll be back. The chuck rolls were really calling me....25 pounds of pulled beef! Maybe we could split one. Call me next time you are coming through or near ATL and I'll pick up some WW for you at Ace Hardware if you want.

BENTE · May 2008

yea the chuck roll is the largest single peice of meat i have done on the egg

but we did not do pulled beef it was for a wedding i did 3 that size for roast beef it was ok the bride liked it and no one got sick so a pretty good cook..

i buy the hangers everytime i go there i bring them home sut open the package and trim them up (make sure to open the package i froze one pack before i knew there were two in there

) season them with RTS and foodsaver them.. another reason to buy a foodsaver.. another reason is the 10 lb rolls of hamburger.. you got taco meat (sorry son is a taco nut) also frozen homemade bubba burgers that you froze.. just unwrap and throw on the egg frozen.... works like a charm

did you take a jacket?

Eggtucky · May 2008

Great lookin cook Kim...those ribs look delicious!!

Fidel · May 2008

I didn't take a jacket, but at least I didn't wear shorts! I saw the parkas hanging by all the cooler entrances.

It is a cool place, I could spend hours in there.

BENTE · May 2008

hours and a thou$and

UGAVET · May 2008

I have also been tempted to get a chuck roll from RD but have been too nervous as i wasnt really sure how to cook or what kind of meat i would have as an end product. So pulled beef would be the best way to expect to use it?

BENTE · May 2008

i have done one it was great i bought the chuck roll at publix.... it was funny to see the guy's face when i asked him for a big one and he asked me how big and i said how big you got i will take it....pricele$$..follow clayq's recipe::

Beef, Roast, Chuck, Pulled, BBQ, ClayQ's

INGREDIENTS:
3 Choice chuck roasts
10 Strips of good bacon
1 cup About a cup of tomato based BBQ sauce
1/3 cup Real maple syrup
2/3 cup Water
1 Tbs Dizzy Pig Cow Lick
3 Tbs Peanut oil

Preparation Directions:
1 Set the beef out on the table and rub with peanut oil and then spice, (Dizzy Pig Cow Lick).
2 Fire up the egg and stabilize at 250 degrees dome. Be prepared for an 8 hour cook. Set up is indirect, platesetter feet up, grid on platesetter, drip pan and v rack on grid. At this time leave the grid off.
Cooking Directions:
Stage one;
1 Set beef on v rack in pan with a little water or beer in pan. Lay bacon on top of beef. Lift platesetter enough to throw a handful of hickory chips on burning lump. Place grid in egg and set in the pan with beef. Cook for about 5 hours and when beef is 160 internal remove from egg.
Stage two;
1 In a No.12 Dutch oven, oil inside with peanut oil, remove bacon from beef and lay across bottom of Dutch oven. Carefully lift beef off of rack and place in Dutch oven. Pour the maple syrup and water over beef. Making sure the meat probe is inserted in the meat, put the lid on and return to the egg and set on top of platesetter after removing grid. Be careful not to have the dome temp over 250. Cook for about 2 hours, until beef is 215 internal and remove from egg.
Stage three;
1 Set the beef out on a tray to rest while you drain the beef juice from the Dutch oven into a container. Place the container in the freezer to chill so that you can skim off the fat later. Discard bacon. Trim any fat you find on the beef and start pulling with a fork. Remove gristle and fat as you pull. Return pulled beef to Dutch oven and add your favorite sauce. Taste test. Now skim fat from juice and return juice to the beef. Taste test. Ok, let’s go back to the egg. Lift platesetter and throw hickory chips on burning lump and return Dutch oven to smoke with the cast iron lid off. Cook for about 1 and ½ hours. Maintain a dome temp no higher than 250.
Special Instructions:
1 Stir and serve on soft hamburger buns with pickles on the side. This is a treat that brings together great beef flavor, sauce and hickory smoke. Let’s eat!

vidalia1 · May 2008

So that is what you do with those big honkin' pieces of beef we saw in there...BTW before we went into RD (it was my 1st trip) my wife said "remember to use restraint" :evil:

man was that difficult in that place.....

Lawn Ranger · May 2008

Kim:

Great pics! Please tell me how to do the tots.

Thanks.

Mike

vidalia1 · May 2008

Hey Mike...before I give you the recipe...look through your stack of orders for tools...mine is in there somewhere...LOL

Here you go:

Maple Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots

Ingredients:

Tater tots
Maple Bacon (not thick cut)
Dizzy Pig' s Shakin' the Tree
Wooden Toothpicks

Food Preparation:

Let tater tots thaw out for approximately 30 minutes until a toothpick can easily be passed through the tot. Do not let the tots sit out too long as they will crumble when trying to stick the toothpick in them.

Cut a piece of the Maple bacon into 3 equal strips. Wrap 1 piece of cut maple bacon around a tot and skewer with the toothpick. Sprinkle Dizzy Pig's Shakin' the Tree over the wrapped tots. Wrap as many tots as you will need to feed your group.

Twenty to thirty tots is usually enough for 2 people and this will use approximately 1/2 pound of bacon.

Grill Preparation:

I cook the tots on a Big Green Egg. Cook the tots indirect using a plate setter at 350 degrees for 40 - 45 minutes or until the bacon is done. Turn the tots after 30 minutes to get both sides of the bacon crisp. Sprinkle a little more Shakin' the Tree when you turn the tots. When the maple bacon tots are done, remove from the grill and carefully remove the toothpicks. Place the cooked tots on a plate and let them sit for a few minutes so the bacon firms up.

Eat & enjoy...your guests will love them

Cooking tip:

I cook these a lot when cooking chicken wings. I put the maple bacon wrapped tots above the wings and the maple bacon drips on the wings. It just enhances the flavor of the wings.

Kim:

Yep...it's there! I'm hurrying, My Friend.

Thanks for the detailed recipe. I've got to try these.

Many Thanks.

Mike

vidalia1 · May 2008

Mike,

I know you are hurrying...i just had to kid ya'... :P

enjoy the tots as they are awesome... :laugh:

Wilby · May 2008

If looks could only be the taste test. I am truly impressed. Nice job all the way around. :woohoo:

Wilby · May 2008

Now that's some hardcore lump there! Was there any comment from the store checkers, did they look at you like you might be slightly off center? I'm impressed.

Fidel · May 2008

The only funny look I got was from the forklift operator when I told him I needed another pallet pulled.

I wish I would have taken a trailer down because I would have bought a pallet at that price.

Fun Egg'n Weekend!!!
