AG's 12 month photos

I'm just getting around to posting Ansley's 12 month pictures.  I received them a couple of weeks ago, but things have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to even think about them.  She wasn't exactly in the mood for pictures that afternoon, but Kimberly managed to get a few good shots.  Here are some of my favorites.

Big Green Egg Pizza

Mitch's parents gave him a Big Green Egg for Christmas.  We have a couple of friends who have one, and Mitch really liked them.  His dad bought one a few months ago, and that was all it took.  Mitch was in love with them, and he couldn't wait to get one.  Mitch's dad built a beautiful wooden table to hold the egg.  Over Christmas, we watched lots of BBQ Pitmasters to see how the pros cook their meat.  Mitch picked up lots of tips and was ready to try his first meat.  We did baby back ribs first, and to be safe, we just invited 2 friends over.  We warned them ahead of time that the outcome could be questionable.  They cooked for over 4 hours, and I thought they were delicious.  On New Years Eve, we had a few friends from the neighborhood over for dinner.  Mitch really wanted to do a beef tenderloin, but the $150 price tag was out of the question.  We settled for a pork tenderloin.  Mitch's friend Joe had a great dry rub recipe we used, and the meat turned out excellent.  It couldn't have been any more perfect.  One thing we've heard everyone cook on their BGE is pizza.  We decided to try pizza Friday night, and we asked Mitch's parents to join us.  I bought the pizza dough from Publix's bakery.  It's in their refrigerator section.  You just let it sit out for 1 hour, and then you roll it out to the size you want.  We added ground beef, peperoni, onions, mushrooms, olives, and 2 types of cheese to our pizza.  We were a little nervous, so I made a salad to eat just in case the pizza wasn't edible.  To our surprise and delight, the pizza was so yummy.  It had an excellent smoky taste, and the crust cooked perfectly.  Mitch's dad said it was the best pizza he'd ever had!  It was pretty tasty though!  Here's a picture of the pizza.
