Grilled Peppers Stuffed with Black Eyed Peas (more…)

This is what mustard is all about.  It’s from my home town, Buffalo NY, and it’s still about the only place you can get it at a reasonable mustard price.   You can get it from places like www.amazon.com or www.budricks.com.  It’s smooth, it’s got some spice to it - otherwise I don’t think I would eat it.  And once you’ve tried it a few times, you probably won’t go back to the regular old yellow mustard you’ve grown accustomed to.    Now that grilling season is upon us, I can’t wait to use this on hamburgers and hot dogs.

“What?  You’ve never heard of the Big Green Egg?  Holy Jeebus.  WAYSA?” 

This is what I want to say to people.  This is by far the best outside cooking device known to mankind.  When we moved to Florida I purchased a nice sized regular grill and thought that it would suffice.  Then I was looking through some old files on the computer and …well to make a long story even longer…I bought one.  And then I got the bug…the BGE bug.   

My poor grill.  It’s only used now as a workhorse for bulk or pedestrian items such as hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken wings. 

My lovely ceramic piece of art cookware takes on the rest of my grilling and roasting work.  I’ve made beef jerky, smoked fish, roasted pork and grilled chicken.  All of these meats come out extremely tasty, with a nice natural smoke flavor and very succulent.  From the published material, I understand you can do breads and pizza in it, but I haven’t gotten there yet. 

There is one down side.  It’s very expensive.  My medium sized BGE was about $800.

Mine is a medium sized, but I am going to keep my eye out for an extra large.
