When we made the decision to 'downsize' our lives and move closer to family in Louisiana, we decided that two Big Green Eggs were enough.
So we gave away Lily, our oldest, to a neighbor who expressed interest in ceramic cooking. Lily had been diagnosed with a seriously cracked base, fire pit and fire ring, all of which I repaired with some PC7 epoxy, and she was able to continue on as a great cooker. Even so, I thought she may not survive the rigors of moving in a very rough/bumpy moving van. So Neighbor Mark took her under his wing and he quickly let me know that she was performing well.
When we sold our house, we thought it important to give the buyers Maggie Mini so they could start off being Eggheads. After all, they were not only buying a house but were getting the famous Chicken Coop which they planned to continue using as an outdoor kitchen.
When I cooked some Magnum Loads for them to try, plus show them how to fire up and cook on a Big Green Egg, they immediately wanted to buy the Large Egg.
So, three down and three to go.
An Egghead friend from Jacksonville, Florida wanted to buy Mini-Maxine but he lived too far away to come get her. But Hurricane Irma forced him to evacuate to Mobile, only two hours away from our new hometown of Covington, Louisiana. He let us know that he was coming take Maxine to a new home. They arrived over the weekend and were thrilled to get her, almost as much as Maxine was happy to be off to a new adventure.
No photo of the BBQ they brought, but trust me - it was delicious.
So we are now down to two Eggs: Lola Large and Shirley Small. We hope to end up with two Large Eggs in the New Coop we plan to build at New House.
It was great to see Gene and Tanya again, and to meet their two sons, Grant and Graham.
And I guess a road trip to Ocean Springs for some BBQ is in our future.
