    Andy R.,I contacted BGE last week and they said they would have some info by this week. They were thinking of 1 st.,2nd.,or 3rd. weekend in October. I was there last year and what a good time we had. I just figured out how to post messages so I should be able to start thanking everyone for my EGGING experiences. charlie

    Nature Boy,[p]Can anyone cook in it? If so, what is it, sort of a "bring you best dish and lets pork out" deal? [p]If I don't feel like bringing my Egg can I borrow yours? (hehe)

    Andy R.,
    There will be plenty of eggs to cook on.
    Not sure how it will be handled...whether we sign up for particular dishes, or what. I am only cooking one thing this time![p]You pretty much have it with "bring your best dish and pork out".[p]NB

    Andy R.,[p]Here is a link that will have you at a page where you can select the Eggtoberfest 1999 or the Eggfest 2000 to see some pictures of both. The Eggtoberfest is the big one in Atlanta. They had 25+ Eggs last year and maybe more this year. Links at the top of the page.[p]Tim

    Nature Boy,[p]Please bring the girls. They'd have a wonderful time, and you'd have more babysitting help than you need. ;-}[p]Cathy

    Nature Boy:[p]I certainly will be there! The boys and Luc will make an appearance depending upon sports activities. Regardless, there will be eyes to take care of the girls, just let us know. Yes, there were a few other children around, and they seemed to have a good time. Be there, Nature Boy, or be square!

    Cat,
    Unless there is a setback, I will be there with a couple 5 year old cuties and some meat to cook! This time I will have more film. I know it is kinda premature, but, by any chance, are you gonna cook that butterflied turkey??
    My wordy lordy that is gonna go quick if you do![p]I am starting to get another good feeling about this one!
    Eggtoberfest....yeeeeee ha!

    Nature Boy,[p]Oooo, that would mean Cat might not do her ribs -- hmmmm, that can't be good. I hope OCT (hi OCT I know you're out there) will be there again to do those ribs of his. If Cat's not doing her ribs, then I will be hang'n around OCT or Sloppy or Jslot or ...... Eggtoberfest is lots of good eating in a short amount of time![p]Tim - still full from last year

    Nature Boy,[p]I would have done the turkey at Eggfest but couldn't figure out the prep & serving logistics...good instincts, since it would have been especially challenging after one of those beers you gave me. ;-}[p]I'm looking forward to meeting your little beauties. What are you planning to cook?[p]Cathy

    Tim M,[p]Boy, are you fickle. ;-} Any rib in a storm, huh?[p]I hope you're going to do those pork tenderloins again. Almost instant gratification.[p]Cathy

    Cat,[p]Boy, that's a deal! Those are real fast and simple. [p]Yea, I am rib fickle. I have only met a few ribs I didn't just love! The last was boiled, then tossed on the Webber at a friends house - yuck! [p]Whatever you cook will be truely worth tasting - even if it is not the ribs. I fear that with even more folks coming this year, we will just never be able to taste everything - and live to tell about it anyway.[p]Tim

    tim m,
    maybe we should create a new category - for those attending octoberfest 2000 - a pre-selected group titled - "official tasters" - the job description would be to get the first taste of everything as it came of the egg - to ensure that it meets the quality required [p]

    Tim M,
    JSlot and I had already discussed a duo Rib team for Eggtoberfest 2000. What do you think about SloppySlots ?

    Nature Boy:[p]You know I was giving you a hard time about the squid . . . Properly cooked, it is a favorite, regardless of recipe.[p]But I think you need to cook two things with squid being one of them. If you elect to do so, I will supply the squid and be your back-up man on the grill. What do ya think? Some thing to consider?
