The first step to recovery is recognizing you are powerless over your addiction

I posted earlier today that I was at a meat market that seems very involved in the BGE world.  Turns out they claim to sell more eggs that anyone in the state.  They are the owner/organizers of the SouthEast Egg fest that takes place in April.

There was a demo going on by a gentleman that owns his own rub/spice company and after trying each of the three, I bought them.

Then I went into the store.  Not big by any standards, but seem to have everything for BGE.  And their meat counters were varied and looked very good.

So my visit put a dent in the ATM card, to say the least.  I did not buy anything that I had not previously considered, but it was all there and I could take it home with me.  And no shipping charges.  Prices were fair and in fact less than some I had seen for the products on line.



So I came home with all of this, plus the requisite BGE Egghead Hat.

Made another stop on the way home to pick up a few things to cook.

12 lbs of baby back ribs
15 lb Boston Butt
  2 Whole Chickens - for spatchcock
  4 really good looking Ribeye's - the grill is heating up now.

I bought the Lane's Ancho Rub for the ribeye's.  It came highly recommended and I obviously into trying new things at this point.

As I said, I appear to be powerless over my newest addiction, but at least I recognize it.

What a great day for you! Thanks for posting, I think.

Yep you are in deep welcome again to the asylum.

Your thread title answered all you need to know.  But you will eventually accumulate enough of the "stuff" that you will then head down the side road-cooler, tumblers, bourbon, scotch, SRF and so many more options to take any discretionary income and beyond.  This is just the way it is..."Sit back, relax and enjoy participating in the show".  Your life will be forever changed-YMMV-

I put a dent in my debit card yesterday as well. Hey, there are worse ways to spend money.

There are worse habits. But yes you are in deep

Wassi's looks great. Going to visit next time I go up to see my uncle in Melbourne (USAF Col. Ret.)

I have to be honest, my life is already changed. Since 2009 I have been dealing with cancer that I apparently picked up in Vietnam. Can't cure it, just keep putting it at bay. Drugs off and on kinda suck the energy and life out of you for a while. But finding the BGE and this forum has given me an excitement For life I have not known for a while.  I am into this all the way to the deep end of the pool. My wife and I are truly enjoying this new adventure. Besides we gotta eat.  We are having a blast and look forward to the next new cook each time.  Thank you all for your guidance and input.

Sonny3 I am glad you find peace and serenity from this forum and the big green egg. Keep doing what your doing and live life the way you want to!

Nice haul @Sonny3 !  Looks like you ran into @Nuke1855 with Caribeque.  I've been blown away with his seasonings so far.  He puts out some great stuff.  I have all four of his seasonings in my cabinet right now.  BTW, the Island Thyme is phenomenal on corn, shrimp and Lowcountry Boil.

@Sonny3 addiction is real. I'm the guy out front that you met, we talked for hours we even went in and talked about your big lanai, that great new table and yes you did buy all three of the Caribeque Seasoning & Rubs.  It was great spending quality time with you. Thank you for your service and fighting for our country in Vietnam ! I'll be honest this post gave he a lump in my throat be a use o was just doing what I truly enjoy which is cooking, teaching and helping folks out !!! Glad we met and I will be there again on Sunday. Come by and try some pork costinis, shrimp bites and bacon wrapped chicken bites all with Caribeque Seasonings. God bless you brother thank you also @Dyal_SC .

What an amazing man @Sonny3 is. This is a huge lesson in treating people the way you want to be treated. We had a great time just talking eggs, eggcessories and life. Great food and chilling on a Saturday afternoon.  I will be back at 10:00 am to create some more great cooks @Sonny3 come back out for grub !

Sonny3

@Nuke1855 , thanks for the kind words.  I enjoyed meeting you also.  I will certainly be a repeat customer at the store.  Now to start cooking.  Its Rib day today.

Nice haul @Sonny3.  I see you got a couple SS caps, my dealer aren't able to sell them based on what their deal with BGE, but then I see others that sell them.  I don't understand why, it seems like a cool accessory to have for the egg.  Enjoy the haul.

That at my friend, is a marvelous haul, and I am envious. That place sounds like Heaven!!!!

@Sonny3 This is what we do. We make our live's better, you helped make everyone's life better. Thank you. I am a Vet too, brother, if I can be of any help or support, let me know.
