Yesterday was the day of the Grand Tasting at the saratoga Food and Wine Festival to benefit the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. There was plenty of vintage automobiles, good food, drink and fun to go around. At the end of the day, there was a live auction for a number of great prizes and true to a good fundraiser, there was plenty of spirited bidding – here for a package of one of my favorite tools, an XL Big Green Egg fully outfitted and donated by one of the event’s main sponsors, Adirondack Appliance of Saratoga Springs. Had I not already had one I love, that might have been my own hand raising the bid!

So what did the Big Green Egg go for? I would love one, along with one of ADK Appliances’s Blue Star stove!
The package went for somewhere around $1800. It was for a good cause!
What is a Big Green Egg? Does it have anything to do with Dartmouth?
No, but it should! It is ceramic grill painted green.
