Found some good looking filets and shrimp at Fresh Market yesterday afternoon.

DP Cow Lick, 500 degrees direct. Ready to flip after 2.5 minutes:

Another 2.5 minutes, then shut down the Egg for another 4:

The shrimp got skewered, treated to a little DP Tsunami Spin, and 3 minutes per side at 400:

Miss Holli carves some for the little people:

while I finished off the asparagus (EVOO, DP Shakin the Tree)

Set this down next to some tomatoes with mozzarella, and dinner rolls, along with a Crios Cabernet, and it was a great way to start a weekend off.

    That looks like the the perfect low carb feast (if I could stay away from the dinner rolls)!

    Well, the red wine jacked up the carb count a little too! Hey, its the weekend.

    Switch to vodka. It's carb-free!

    Picture perfect. You cooked those steaks just like the book says. I hope the little people liked it too.
    Have a great weekend!

    Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

    I'll stick with the Cabernet. Still scarred from a vodka experience or two in college.

    Thanks. To be honest, I dont know that I'm completely sold on the curved skewers yet. I think they will make for a nice presentation when I do some traditional kabobs; however, they were not the easiest things to manipulate on the Egg. Will let you know.

    Good looking cook!

    We are all under the weather over here on the East side of the Interstate, so I didn't feel much like cookin'. I gave in and went to the Ichiban buffet for supper. :blush:

    I don't know if you saw my post earlier this week, but the Madison Fireplace and Patio now has a full selection of DP rubs on display. I didn't see the new Pineapple Head, though.

    Also, WalMart still has RO for $6.37 per 10# bag - bought 10 bags yesterday. The MF&P's BGE lump is almost $20 per 20# bag! :ohmy:

    Have a great weekend!

    Yes, I was in MF&P yesterday and saw all the DP rubs; thanks for the tip on the Royal Oak at Walmart. I suspect I'll head over there laterand grab some when I'm out trying to get inspiration for Sunday dinner.

    No egging tonight--Holli and I have a dinner date at Schimmels. It was one of the first places we had dinner back when we were being recruited.

    Hope everyone in your home gets to feeling better.

    Don't ever make Schimmel's anymore. Too many good restaurants in the Madison area now - when I' not Eggin'. :)

    If you haven't tried Mermaid Cafe at Lake Caroline, it's really good and reasonably priced!
