Hello grillers of the kamado kind!
What a night it was last evening as I did what I do best, hang out with family and cook till my hearts content which it never really is because I never want the celebrations or the feast's to end and I'm sure a lot of you can relate. Planked salmon was on the menu with roasted veggies, yogurt, mint, honey drizzle and cold as ice white Chateau Des Charmes Riesling which goes down like a fresh waterfall of spring like fruitiness that just takes the entire party up a notch or two if you know what I mean!
If I'm right, it was a full moon last night and if it wasn't then I still felt like howling at it because of how much fun I was having! All that said I was planning on writing a totally different post today but I couldn't resist this idea that came to me. It totally grabbed a hold of me when I got this picture of a brand new Primo XL recently purchased by a guy who was kind enough to allow me to use it for this post. Anyways, I'm having some troubles sleeping lately because I'm so excited for Spring and Summer to arrive, so, I'm typically up 4 or 5 times in the night listening to music or writing or trying to decide which kamado of mine is going to create our next magical meal.
I'm up in our loft gazing out of a huge window that faces our open field and I'm listening to some old New Order and Depeche Mode from the 80's and there in front of me is the moon slowly going down and making way for the new days sun. At that moment in the wee hour silence this picture said a million things to me and this Primo almost looks as if its being touched by the hand of god as the light hits it in the coolest way. Coming from a guy who's not very religious it was awesome and I realized just how much faith I have for these incredible cookers that I feel I owe so much to for all the happiness they bring me and the ones who mean the most to me.
Keep on grilling friends and never let the fire go out!
Do you think they can feel us coming "K"?
They just need to open the door, cos that's all we need.
I have this desperate feeling that grilling for the world is where we're gonna be.
We know they hear us knocking "K",
If there's a kamado kingdom behind it all,
then we'll take this story around the world and back.
In our infinite wisdom we're gonna show them how this "GTO" life can be.
We know that they know that we're not pretending.
Our two heart's beat as one.
Our tribal fires will blaze trails for all to see and feel.
Together we will all be grilled to obsession.....
