The warmup

[hachi-roku_fan]

Hello everybody!

So I have been not cooking as much because the wife and I have been on a health kick. I've lost about 40 pounds so I figure I can lighten up a bit on the diet and enjoy myself a bit. Anywho, having some carne asada and Cornish hens today on the kettle.


On go the hens in indirect!

Now, why is this thread titled "The warmup" you ask?

Spare ribs going on the 18.5 WSM tomorrow :hungry:

Chicks look real good. Congrats on the weight loss.

Looking good! Color on the hens looks killer. Carne asada at that?

I'm tuned in. :thumb:

Great looking meal and congrats on the weight loss.

Thanks all!! This also gave me a chance to play with my Thermopop. I like it a lot. Some people prefer the pen over the pop because it's faster and easier to hold, but I had no issues with either. Still thinking about the Thermapen though.....

Yes please! :hungry:

Those birds look fantastic as does the carne asada.
So what Goya sauce is that? I have used a lot of the Goya seasonings but never the sauces.

I've lost about 40 pounds...

Good for you. I'm down 50-55 lbs. I have found it's not the grilled meats and BBQ that cause weight gain, it's all the other stuff - the bread, mac-n-cheese, potatoes, yada yada yada - that are the problem. For me anyways.

Looks delicious!

Thank you all, and congrats to you guys as well!!

So I woke up this morning with a bunch of leftovers since I had dinner solo. I decided I'd repurpose the carne asada. Here we go!

Shredded the beef



In the pan it goes to warm up!



In goes the eggs



And plated with some green salsa



Here's a pic of the salsa for those wondering



There's been a delay of game on the ribs since I haven't gone to the store and its 10:30am already. Maybe next week! Happy Sunday everyone!
