prologue
It about 2008. The 20 year old gas barbeque was about ready to hit the dump. A lady and her soon to be Ex, started searching for that new grill.
He was looking at giant gas grills with burners and side trays and shelves and warmers and storage areas and 36 dials. All she thought was, “What a waste, crap now a days is not built to last.” She imagined rusted out shelves and mice nesting in the storage areas and spider webs in every corner and the ongoing need to polish the beast. She started searching for something better.
Ah ha, what is this Big Green Egg thing. “That’s not what we need”, the soon to be Ex says. They disagreed for about a year and continued to fill the old gas barbeque shell with charcoal. After continuous nagging and sending dozens of links to reviews and and recipes, he agreed to look. One place in town had Big Green Eggs.
He wasn’t sold. But after weighing the options, she won the battle and they walked away with one Extra Large Big Green Egg. They loved it.
A few years later, the soon to be Ex became the Ex. They were amicably splitting their possessions. “What about the Egg? It should stay at the cottage with me”, she says. The only fight they had over ‘things’ began. “But, I’m the one that makes the pulled pork. I love that barbeque”, he says. After debating the issue, they realized there was only one solution. They bought another Big Green Egg and went their seperate ways.
missgrill
With no more man to monopolize the Big Green Egg, she began to experiment with items that more often fell into the Exs domain – low and slow ribs, pulled pork and smoking. She became known far and wide for her barbequed ribs and and roasted roots veggies. They called her missgrill.
One day missgrill decided to start looking for love. She had heard over and over again that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. In the attempt to hook a man, she started barbequing like never before.
Without a single visible burn scar , she boasts the following major dating accomplishments:
- burned 1000 kg of lump charcoal
- grilled 1734 rib-steaks
- mixed 442.7 cups of rub
- barbequed 350 racks of ribs
- sucked back 682 cases of beer to numb the pain of bad dates
All this and she has yet to hook the man the man of her dreams.
Sick of spending too much money on prime cuts of meat to feed dates that loved her food but never became her man. “Enough is enough. No one tastes my barbeque until proven his worthy.”
From that point on she barbequed just for herself and her friends. missgrill made fresh new dates take her out for steak.
Welcome to missgrills white hot adventure.
p.s. I am barely exaggerating when I say I have cooked that many steaks.
The Ex’s loss is our gain.

A woman who knows her way around a green egg? Where were you when my “soon to be ex, became the ex”?
Love my egg! ….and just bad timing I suppose :D
Oh, Miss Grill, the “Like” button won’t do. I love your site, your recipes, your concepts and, yes, you.
Thanks Sunny! have much enjoyed your food plus story…. you have a great looking peanut sauce calling me :)
Love the intro. Probably the best I’ve read. I’m eggstatic to meet you (crap joke I know).
lol thanks. And love crappy jokes :)
Great. We’ll get along just fine then! I’ve plenty more where they came from.
love this! now i gotta google this “big green egg” to catch a glance at what a real grill is supposed to look like :o)
never thought I like a grill so much! worth every penny we scraped together to buy :)
Thanks for visiting my blog! I’m dying to grill more, but hubby is vegetarian, so the stovetop grill pan suffices for veggie and miscellaneous (tofu, polenta, etc) grilling.
some of the best veggie dishes I’ve had come off the grill! my veggie friends get just as pumped about smoked stuffed peppers as the omnivores do about ribs :)
You have a fun blog. Thanks for stopping by foodforfun’s watermelon slushie thingie so I could find you:-)
