I am an Egghead. I cook on a Big Green Egg. A Big Green Egg is a kamado style ceramic smoker/grill that can trace its roots back 3,000 years to China and Japan. They burn natural lump charcoal and can slow cook at temperatures below 200° for many hours (20 to 24 is not unusual) or medium temps for those dishes that are typically cooked in a regular gas or electric oven, or 750 to 900° for meats that require searing heat like steaks. I also do a little woodworking.

Thirteen Days Into The New Year

"Last Year" seems so long ago, but it has only been thirteen days.  Actually, fourteen if you are a numbers person.  Even so,  it still feels like a long time ago.

The weather has ranged from cool to cold so I'm spending most of my time inside.  I'm just not a cool/cold weather person.  I wouldn't survive a day up north where temperatures routinely get below freezing.  And snow.... no way can I live in that stuff.  But the pictures of it sure make it look pretty.

I did visit my doctor and got all good numbers.  Even lost a few pounds.  Actually, I lost about 27 pounds but put some of them back on during the 'eating season,' uhh, I mean 'holidays.'  I'm trying to slim back down before summer.

I've spent some of my 'inside' time working on the web site for the Egghead Gathering in Salado, Texas on March 26th.  Here's the link to the site if you're interested:  http://saladoeggheadgathering.blogspot.com/

We were invited to our neighbors house for shrimp, chicken and sausage gumbo tonight.  It was delicious, as good as most Cajun restaurants.  I had two big bowls of it over rice.  That's not going to help me lose weight but it sure was good.

Now I'm sleepy.
