| Mrs BGC and I cooked at Saturday's Heart of GA Eggfest in Gray, GA. We met lots of good people and had great conversations. It was an absolute great time! |  |
In the tradition of Eggfest, we started the morning off with a chilled beverage, a Grilled Bloody Mary.
I started the cocktail by roasting a red and orange sweet pepper, a pablano and a couple hatch chilies, sweated the charred skins off in a ziploc bag, tossed them into a pitcher, poured a bottle of vodka over top, covered the pitcher with plastic wrap and refrigerated for almost a week. I strained the mixture through cheese cloth to remove any bits and pieces before serving. The vodka had a great peppery bite that was perfect for a bloody mary. We garnished it with a stalk of celery and a Slim Jim. It was definitely a hit!

We also served Maple Bacon Oatmeal Cookies, Sweet Thai Chili Pork Tacos and a couple Paellas. The staff at Ace of Gray hosted a great event and were extremely accommodating. I'm already looking forward to next year!
