WARREN CONNECTICUT – A weekend with friends and family. Maria is in Europe but our children and Kimball and Patrizia Chen joined us for the weekend. We just had a Big Green Egg delivered – known as the “Harley of outdoor cooking” so I’m experimenting with ribs, steaks, pork shoulder, pizza, you name it. This is deep water – I’ve got a fair amount of work to do on it.
Here’s John Novogrod listening to Alexander at dinner with us. Taken with my Leica M9 and Noctilux lens.
Bob – so far I’m ok with the extra large Green Egg. I’ve managed to sustain 200 degrees for hours, have figured out how to get 325 and 550, and Im experimenting with 800 and the pizza stone today. I blew out the felt gasket early; tried with none but found that the leakage made it hard to hold low temperature so I’ve installed the graphite impregnated fiberglass gasket. So far so good.
