@YukonRon sorry about your toe buddy. Take care of yourself.  Sorry I'm late to the party,  been at the beach.  

Dude, if you do something stupid, like I did, and I am at the beach, I will check in when I get back too. No problem, hope you had a wonderful time my friend.
Pride hurts worse than the foot. Suzy is close to becoming SWMBO instead of My Beautiful Wife, in taking care of me. I am definitely following orders here.

The slushies got him toetalled.

Bet he was wearing a toe ga when it happened. ..

On the pineapple bite recipe, I tried it with dried pineapple and fresh pineapple side by side.  Way different result, must be the sugar in the dried pineapples.  The dried pineapple is way superior to fresh pineapple in this recipe.  

tarheelmatt

Fresh breaks the bacon down. Dried doesn't because those juices are gone. 

SmokinTiger81

Matt.  I read where someone noted they could not prepare in advance for an eggfest with fresh.  I cooked as soon as I wrapped, so the bacon did not break down, it was just a totally different end product.

You folks certainly know how to knock it out back east, what a fantastic get together. 

Ron hope the foot gets better soon.

I made some yesterday and forgot to glaze them with anything and they were still great.

Thank you for the well wishes. 

I have only been to area BGE events sponsored by dealers and BGE. NCBB was not even in the same Universe as those others. It was, by far, totally superior in each facet. The guys that did the heavy lifting on this event provided a very high bar for any other event to try and clear.
Liver stretching meetings before and after the event was off the charts.
I drove almost 9 hours to get there, I would drive 24 if I had to.
Great folks, great food, learned a ton, and great fun.

I did some too with fresh with no sit and the texture and flavor wasn't right.

Also made the stuffed mushrooms per earlier recipe from the BBlast.  These were excellent too--only thing I will change is to try cream cheese next time instead of the spreadable cheese.  The spreadable melted too much and I lost a lot during cooking even with adjustable rig indirect setup.  Cream cheese holds up pretty well in ABT's so will see how that works next time in the mushrooms.  Thanks for some great new recipes.  Oh, and the shrimp tacos are da bomb too--great combo of flavors--that would be a feature appetizer in any very nice restaurant.

I did spreadable cheese,  then mixed cream cheese in with the sausage mix too. 

People at work flipped out on that.

^^^ this works well

Seemed to me that the cheese liquified and the meatball cap sunk down and forced melted cheese out.  Somehow you guys avoided this problem.  Maybe my meatball cap too large

tarheelmatt

I took my jalepeno coring tool and scraped out some of the flesh inside the shroom and didn't fill the shroom too full with cheese. 

No sure of @Thatgrimguy technique,  but it was a winner !

@Thatgrimguy's stuffed mushrooms were ethereal!  Recipe occurred earlier in this thread.  Believe!

@tarheelmatt man that looks a crazy good recipe! What else is hiding in your head?

Lol.. I do have a screwed up head and have many ideas for dishes that hasn't came to life, yet. 

 Both those and the pork belly tacos were a little involved, but worth it.  

We need to get you and @Dyal_SC together here in Columbia. You two are creative genesis. 

Not only have @tarheelmatt and I started a creative Genesis, but we are geniuses too.    

Ha! I missed this earlier.  Been away for the weekend. 

Soo, when we doing a big shindig at plantation de @northGAcock? I'm sure Craig is ready and so am I !

YukonRon

My foot is swollen about the same size as the SRF Gold brisket made at the NCBB by @Thatgrimguy which was off the grid.

Yeah, I was being a little playful and loose with my wording.  Need to wait till school lets out for my wife and then I'm game.

Anyone have pictures of the swag table with all the items we had to give out by chance?  

I totally sucked at taking pictures and documenting.  

Jupiter Jim

Thatgrimguy
