Every Night, & Twice on Sunday (cooking on my new BGE, that is)

SWMBO (as she now requires me to call her after reading it here) surprised me the Thursday before Father's Day with a new LBGE and nest. I have now cooked on it every single night and twice this Sunday (breakfast pizza then dinner). I have been diligently taking pictures of every cook while waiting to get approved to post because I know that no pics = didn't happen. Unfortunately, somehow this weekend I lost half of the pictures I had been saving! A few of the pictures I lost include:
- First cook of chicken breasts and turkey sausage that we used to make a fine pasta salad (all I had on hand when I got the egg)
- Grilled Shrimp (Had to throw something together quickly and had them in the freezer and my gas grill was full of eggcesories)
- a 9.5LB Boston Butt (Cooked overnight 18 hours and served for Father's day lunch, even though I was bleary eyed from refusing to sleep so I wouldn't miss my first stall)
- First Egg pizza
- First steak, salmon fillet, and talapia fillet
- Boneless wings
- Grilled scamp grouper for fish tacos
- Spatchcock chicken (didn't even know what that was until I found this forum)
- Cast iron skillet cooked new potatoes (They went with the boneless wings picture I lost)
- Grilled peaches with a honey/butter/rum glaze served with homemade vanilla ice-cream drizzled with more honey
- A 5.3 lb brisket flat (haven't found a packer yet) It was very good but a little drier than I wanted
- A Breakfast pizza

@Makers_and_Water, welcome to the lifestyle. Looks like you're off to a flying start.For future reference, you can add multiple pictures to a sinlge post by repeatedly clicking "Choose File" once you've clicked the "Attach a file" link. For each picture you choose, hover your mouse over the image and click "Insert Image" to insert your picture into the body of your post. Then (and if you want to keep Travis happy) click "Delete". This will leave your image in the body of your post but delete the thumbnail from below.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada

@smokey: Yes indeed she does! Which is ironic since she is actually the best gift I've ever received! @Griffin: We started by rolling out some Trader Joes whole wheat pizza dough to fit the stone, which was preheated in the oven (just to save time, we were all starving). We whipped up a white sausage gravy and used it for the "sauce" then grated a medium size potato and sautéed it in a little olive oil. These hash-browns went on next followed by fontina cheese, shredded Monterey Jack, and mozzarella pearls (all because we just happened to have them in the fridge). SWMBO "cooked" 6 pieces of turkey "bacon" in the microwave (I guess obeyed doesn't mean always agree...). Which we crumbled and sprinkled over the pizza. Then we started cracking eggs on to the top until we got good coverage, popped it in the egg (plate setter legs down, stone on the PS) with a 500 dome temp and a handful of apple chunks. I added some conecuh sausage links to slice and add for me and our daughter and cooked for around 17 minutes. It probably would have been better to pull around 13 minutes but the eggs fooled me. They didn't look to be cooking but in fact the yolks were cooked solid by the time I pulled. Still a dang good brunch!Sometimes I skip the water.

Thanks. I've wanted to do a breakfast pizza with eggs like that before, but was unsure of time and temp to get the eggs to come out right. I've done one before with scrambled eggs and chorizo and Mexican cheeses, but I like the idea of sunny side up.
