    Whew ! I was hoping you'd see the thread.

    Yep. I confess. I usually give my wife an idea of what I want on the table, and she takes it from there. She disapproves of the gun, but it's become a trademark of sorts.

    You didn't ask for the ponchartrain sauce recipe, but I'm emailing it to you anyway. :)

    Hey, Gary, I didn't see any gun, only your beautiful dinner and plated presentation. There was a gun? I need to be more observant and not just look at the food!

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

    Wow! Outstanding! I'm impressed on several levels

    The food :)

    The setting :) You romantic dude

    The fact that you can spell Ponchartrain and N'awlins :laugh:

    Just wondering - when my traveling companion and I visit, do we need to bring our own gun? :woohoo:

    See you in Austin - I understand you didn't sign up to cook but if you want to cook there will be opportunities to share an egg.

    I always load it with 5 bullets and have it sitting on an empty chamber. Besides, I moved it before we ate.

    I heard he has a laser sight on it. What a wimp !

    Besides, I'm a little leery about a coyote attacking a dog with a human around in broad daylight. A wolf? .... yeah. A coyote?..... hmmmmm. I think he blasted him for target practice.

    Python?

    Looks fantastic! The fish fillet Pontchartrain is my favorite entree at Pappadeaux. Care to share the recipe?

    Michelle

    It's my favorite too. I found a few recipes online that purport to be Pappadeaux recipes. The Ponchartrain is one of them...I'll dig it up and email it to you. I haven't tried it yet, but it's in the stack, somewhere. I've got the dirty rice recipe somewhere too.

    I make my wife's favorite, shrimps en brochette, on the egg every once in a while. It's fantastic!

    Village Idiot: would you mind emailing that recipe to me too, please? Fantastic looking cook!
