I really do enjoy doing new things on the Big Green Egg, figuring out how to smoke something that’s not usually smoked or how to bake something on the BGE instead of in the oven. Sometimes, though, I have to … Continue reading
Yeah, I know. Everyone loves great coffee, or at least lots of people do. I really love it, but the odd thing is I don’t drink it very often. I kind of have to be in the mood for it. … Continue reading
