This Reminds Me

I said, “I do not like Green Eggs and ham
I do not like them with the fam
I do not like grilled asparagi
And steak and pizza and apple pie
I do not like them with a fork
I do not like them – you’re a dork.
I do not like Green Eggs and Ham
I do not like them with the fam.”

Keith said “Try them.  You will see.
How good aparagi can be
And steak and pizza and apple pie
You will like them – so will I.”

So I tried them Mother’s Day
And added Romaine – ohhhh, say
It was soooo good
I wolfed a bowl
And left the table very full.

I do like the Green Eggs, you see
And all they cook for the fam and me
I do like the heat to stay outdoors
And cooking spills kept off my floors.

I do like Green Egss with the fam
I bet I would like Green Eggs with ham.

Have you ever heard of the Big Green Eggs – gynormous ceramic cookers for smoking, grilling and baking?  Me neither – till Keith watched one too many cooking shows.  He’s wanted one for years and finally got one yesterday at an EggFestival in Austin.  Big Green Eggs are basically a cult following for many, with user boards, cooking competitions, websites, cookbooks and fanatics who travel cross-country from EggsFest to Eggfest.

For Mother’s Day lunch, we had steak, asparagus and Romaine (yes – lettuce), all grilled on the Egg, plus a few more mundane items done inside.  Keith brushed the Romaine leaves with olive oil and spices before a quick grilling and omigosh, ithey were so good.  Reminded me of the wilted lettuce my mom used to make.   For dinner – baked pizza and…..

….baked apple pie (Thanks, Hannah!), served on my new plates from Keith.  Because you can never have too many plates.  At least that’s what I think.  The girls groan at my dish weakness, and try to shoo me past store displays.  Keith is more tolerant of my addiction.
