You just might be an Egger if . . . .

Prof Dan

My wife tells me I've been been a little eggcentric since I got my Egg last summer. She has compiled a list of warning signs:[p]You just might be an Egger if . . . . [p] Your clothes, and your closet, and the laundry basket all smell like smoke, and you like it.[p] You scheme about how to cook unusual items [smoked meatballs?], just so you can get to fire up your Egg.[p] You realize that you sometimes dream more about barbeque than about your usual topics.[p] You go to a rib restaurant, secretly hoping that the ribs will be inferior to your own.[p] Your head whips around every time you pass a pile of firewood, hoping that there is some good hardwood in there.[p] You have had to sharply increase your level of exercise, just to burn off the extra calories you ingest because the food just tastes so darn good.[p] You again wander outside in the middle of a long cook, you determine that the temperature is still eggsactly where you wanted it to be, and you gratefully pat the side of the Egg without realizing that this is a strange thing to do to an inanimate object.[p] I'm sure that other spouses of Eggers will be able to add a few Eggcentricities to the list, but you get the idea. [p]

Prof Dan,
Add to your list,
...You read new (and old) recipes and modify them all to suit the Egg.[p](anyway, that's what I do)[p]Cheers,
Gretl

Prof Dan,[p] There was a similar thread over a year ago. Wish I could find it in the archives. If memory serves, I think NatureBoy won the prize with:[p]You just might be an Egger if . . .[p]You check your child's temperature with a Polder![p]Guess now you could just do it remotely with one of those NuTemp jobbies![p]MikeO

Prof Dan,
You might be an egger if you carry a tape measure with you to the market to see how many of which kinds of meat you can get onto the grill...

Cornfed

MikeO,[p]Where ya been? I think this is the thread to which you refer:[p]You know you're hooked on the BGE when...[p]Later,

Prof Dan, You just might be an Egger if you profess to enjoy "Green Eggs and Ham" and have no idea as to who Dr. Seuss is.

Nature Boy

MikeO,
hehe. Good memory there, Diver Boy! Not sure where I reached for that joke. LOL. Nice work by Cornfed pulling that ancient thread out![p]I guess I can assume you are getting pretty lit up about your upcoming dream diving trip. Ain't to far away. [p]BTW, leaving that remote probe in for hours could get uncomfortable for the little ones.[p]Beers.

Nature Boy, yeah but if you had one of those Nu Temps (discussed above) you could just stay in bed all night and be able to tell your wife - "he's ok. His temp is normal." I could have probably gotten 100 hours or so of more sleep if I had had one of those things when my kids were young. :-))

Cornfed,
Thanks. I needed that.

Prof Dan

New Bob,[p]Makes sense to me. You're adding flavor to the air -- the neighbors ought to be grateful.

Kelly Keefe

Prof Dan,[p]...Your new idea of a dream date involves a supermodel (or you ladies take your pick), an Egg and a spatchcocked chicken. (A nod toward Bloom County where the ideal date for Opus was Katherine Sulllivan and pudding.)[p]...You can even SAY spatchcocked chicken and not giggle. [p]...Your signifigent other doesn't object to the cost of all the new toys you're buying because she/he likes the results.[p]...Your idea of an ideal Thursday afternoon is mucking out the Egg in anticipation of the weekend.[p]...The folks at the local grocery store meat counter "Know your name..."[p]...You have a perfect justification in buying a digital camera and it's NOT to take pictures of your family.[p]...Even the squirrels have stopped eating nuts in your backyard.[p]...You claim the Egg as a Dependent on your tax forms.[p]Kelly Keefe

You just might be an Egger if...
...you carry pictures of your egg and the food on it.
...you knock on a neighbors door to ask if you can have the pecan wood from the tree they just cut down.

ChefRD

Prof Dan,
You must be an Egger if....
..you learn to make a web page so you can show the whole world your butts and thighs and other parts.

ravnhaus

Prof Dan,
...before you serve the food to your guests you make them wait as you photograph the results of your labor...

Cornfed

RhumAndJerk,[p]No problemo. Also, I need to add this simple one...[p]You just might be an Egger if....[p]...you've ever used the term "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"[p]Later,
Cornfed

Cornfed,
I honestly and truly (seriously) just belted out a serious belly laugh. Kind of a HA HA HA. [p]That was good.[p]Heeee.

Gretl,[p]....You make yourself and everyone else crazy in your quest to get another Egg only 2 months after buying your first one.[p]I say one good Egg deserves another...Life will be twice as sweet![p]E.
