One Grid Meal on the Big Green Egg


Nothing special going on here...just a great ending to a fantastic weekend at home; doing nothing, including work and cooking out all weekend.  Ribeyes, fried taters with green onions and parsley, corn with butter.  All cooked at one time on the grid...and Saki Bomb Appetizers...
