So this all sounds a little too "Julie and Julia" but I plan on using this blog to update my progress learning to barbeque. My name is Eric and I am a 34 year old attorney living in Columbus, Ohio with, in the words of Chuck Butler, my beautiful bride, Katherine, and of course our dog, Georgia (she goes by GA). When Katherine and I got married 4 years ago she was an avid chef and had worked in the kitchens of many restaurants around town and did time selling retail at William's and Sonoma. One of our favorite wedding gifts was a Weber Kettle Performance Grill. The generous donee came to our house built the grill (that's right I'm about as handy as a married housewife on one of those tv shows) and cooked the first meal on such grill. Needless to say it was the first and last time that grill saw proper bbq. Katherine and I have enjoyed bbqing and really like sitting on the porch having a beer or glass of wine and cooking out. The only problem is the food never turns out as nice as the company. I've undercooked beer can chicken, burned ribs, started fires, burned my feet, lost my eyebrows, etc... Regardless of all this we decided to make the big plunge and splurge for a big green egg this summer. I hope to chronicle my improvements over time with the egg and will post meals with pictures (if I can figure that out, I'm not too savvy with this stuff; for instance I can't figure out how to indent the next paragraph right now).
Sorry for the length, but the basics are that I hope to use this blog to discuss my attempts to become a better barbequer (is that a word?) and will post cooking details and photos of us using our new Big Green Egg.
