February 2018 in EggHead Forum

The lady is out of state for the weekend and I decided to spoil myself (she isn't a seafood eater). I didn't end up using the BGE, but warmer weather would have been great to use the egg to sear in the cast iron.

I was pretty proud if how the scallops turned out - the sear was restaurant quality. I did the filet with creamed spinach to keep it healthyish. Wine wasn't so bad either. Also, had to share a little filet with my boy. He loved it. Happy Saturday all!

Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Great cook and result. I'm sure another banquet is in the queue. Strike while the window of opportunity is open.

I say I'm going to cook like that when my wife leaves town but I inevitably eat like a truck driver.
