    Your friends call to make reservations to have dinner at your house and they offer to bring all the uncooked food a day in advance.

    @CeramicChef-the simple solution-just buy BGE's so that each kid can get one when you check-out.  You can try this reasoning on SWMBO (it may work??).

    Some great lines in this thread-very creative.

  • I knew I was an Egghead when my 6 year old granddaughter gave me big hug and says "PaPa, you smell so good, just like the chicken".... brought a tear to my eye. 

    (And all those years I used an aftershave trying to impress my girls)

    When you no longer refer to it as cooking or grilling. Example... I think I'll go "egg" some ribeye's for supper.... I'm egging ribeye's and ABT's right now.

    At least pull the egg in the bdr so you can look at it...it's arousing....or buy her green lingerie with a daisy wheel black hat...oh, and a smoke machine.

    When you plan your weekends around what's going to be on the smoker.  And weeknights.  Heck, most of my life is revolving around the dang egg.  I find myself polishing and shining up each green dimple on the dome, even when it's not in use.........

    My name is Dyal....  I am an Eggoholic. :-S

    Even when the eggs aren't cooking, you are still having a drink on the deck sitting with them as if they are one of the boys. (do it all the time, and yes, I talk to them as well.)
    When you check the forum one last time before going to bed and hit the OT button by mistake coz SWMBO is giving you that look "you're on the egg forum AGAIN??"

    You catch yourself "burping" your gasser.
    And the hood of your truck.
    And your waffle iron.

    Bring him some Egged food tomorrow. Like candy from a baby!

    Sorry to hear that, though.

    You know you're an Egg Head when you spend as much time taking and posting pictures of your cooks as you did actually cooking.
