10k Guru Posts - Surf and Turf Sampler

[ckreef]

Here is the post from Kamado Guru to mark my 10,000 Posts milestone.

.....................

I've finally become an old man on Kamado Guru - LOL. 10,000 Posts ago I bought an Akorn and joined this forum. I had been previously grilling with RO on a cheapie grill using, dare I say it..... Lighter fluid. I was clueless about kamado cooking. I did a lot of reading, asking questions and getting really good advice and guidance from the Guru members. Over the past few years with lots of encouragement and some serious inspiration I am now the kamado cook that I am. The most important thing I learned - Don't be scared to try new things, if you can think it up and imagine it in your minds eye then you can cook it. It might not be perfect on the first attempt, just tweak it and try again until you get it right.

.

TY Guru members for all that you have done for me.

.

I wanted to do a special cook to mark this occasion but I just couldn't decide, so why not cook a little bit of everything.

Fire Cracker Shrimp with Fire Cracker dipping sauce.

TY everyone. It was an awesome meal. Probably the meal with the most separate parts I've ever cooked. I started by making a basic list that I could check things off of as a got that part accomplished. That kept me on track and not forgetting anything.

Oh did I mention, Mrs skreef was a huge help in pulling this off.

You'd better, if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, I be feeding the first bites of anything that I didn't cook myself to the dog first!

Exactly, Tony.:)

Of coarse we all knew you couldn't do this by yourself.

I do try to keep him caught up. This really was a very Large cook. So many steps to get to the final results. Boy was i full. It was like eating at a fine dining restaurant. Trying all there appetizers. So glad ckreef goes to extreme in his cooking. Cause the benefits of it all is the best. Thanks Love.
