Green egg day is over and it was magical!
I had a perfect day today. From the beginning till the end. I finally bought a Green Egg.
A dream became true.
The flags are still there from my birthday in April. I like them too much to take them down.
Bianca and I left to pick up my friend Serge (@s3rg3) at 10:30am to make our way to an amazing bbq store in a Dutch town called Waddinxveen.
The moment we enter the store. I see this. I already know this is the one.
The seller is trying to get me interested in this model. In my mind, the discount game has already begun.
Buying expensive things is a game I don't play often but I know how to play. He knows it too. The whole point is to meet halfway. It's a dance. If you want to save money in your life. Learning the dance is important.
In the end, I walk away with a free digital thermometer, a book, coals, firestarters, free delivery on the same day, a nice piece of meat (picanha) and a discount on the whole set. I know he still made a nice profit too. We both are content. We shake on it. Here it's being delivered. Serge and I are helping and I'm smiling. I'm happy.
Then it's time to cook. This is the meat the store owner gave me. Grain-fed Australian Picanha. Core temp needs to be between 52 and 58 degrees.
It's ready!
Serge's wife and daughter came to visit too!
The meat looks amazing
After dinner Serge and I had one more glass of wine in the garden. His motto is 'life is for living'. More and more I'm beginning to think he's right.

Magical day indeed. Your hard work paid off! Your smile in the last picture is definitely one of a happy man! I have a serious case of grill envy now, lol! :) Enjoy your success, you deserve it!! Congrats!
Thank you for your nice comments (as always). This grill is a dream coming true.
Wow, quite the piece of equipment you got yourself. Enjoy it. You deserve it!
U had an exciting day my friend @exyle
The pictures came out perfect 👌
Thank you!
It's look so delicious. I love meat!!
That meat looks grilled to almost perfection (if perfection were real that is). Nicely grilled on the outside to all the flavor and juices inside! Def a good buy!
I am thinking of getting a green egg for our condo building, but the board wants one of those boring Weber grills. Hoping they make the right decision. Maybe I will use your post to get them to go with the EGG!
My first impression. It's amazing!
It was good discount game form your side, you got a lot of stuff. Green Egg looks great.
I don't have a BBQ. 🙁 Now You've inspired me to go out and get one! 😎 Thanks bro! 😀
Make sure you paint it! :D
It seems that you really had a great day! A lot of smoke, but in the end, the steak looks delicious. Even if I stopped eating meat, I have a waterfall in my mouth!
It's a day like I love them. You must have fun and enjoy yourself. The piece of meat is impressive. Enjoy. You are a good living
