A little too done but otherwise very tasty looking.

Human, I suppose? Taste is a little gamey but the smell, wow, the smell.

This is what I imagined the barbecues were like at the Bush ranch.
Now, just give me some nice bbq sauce, a poor boy bun, some iced tea and some quality baked beans and you're in heaven.

 

[barfo]

Thanks, but shouldn't you have made some for yourself also?

Can be a little gamey.
Ask me how I know.
By the way, how 'bouts coming over to my house for dinner? You bring the meat and I'll supply the carving utensils.

I go to an annual event called Ribfest every year. My former boss and mentor is from North Carolina is the host and let me tell you, he and his amazing wife provide quite the spread. His smoker is so big it has to be towed behind his truck.

Now we're cookin'!

 

[Orion Bailey]

Im almost becoming. Vegitarian. I dont know why.

I love chicken salads and a good steak aNd shrimp, but what i also used to love, picking off a roast, A chicken breast sandwhich, anything mostly of non saturated meat... im not liking anymore.
I need it drowned in something or mixed up with other things for me to like it.

I used to come home and slice off the turkey breast and jsut eat it with a little mayo.
Now i need it in a salad or douced with gravy.

Not sure why, but the smell of many cooked meats is losing its appeal to me. Bacon withstanding. Lol.

YES!

I guess that there are health reasons not to consume too much meat, particularly of the red variety, but my cholesterol numbers are fine and dandy.

My sister-in-law is one of those poor deluded souls who prefers vegetarian (with occasional fish or "social" chicken) because of concerns about the ethics of the animals' "suffering" or their lives not being valued. She does not appreciate it when I point out that she's just one 5 day survival training experience away from being willing to kill and consume just about anything that walks or wiggles and contains protein. She also looks askance at me when I point out that I am not nearly heartless enough to stop consuming animals bred for the food market. What exactly does she think will happen to those animals if the food market dries up because everyone has gone vegetarian? Farmers won't be breeding and feeding those animals, that's for certain.

I think I need a steak tonight. It's the only ethical thing to do.

Why would that be a problem for her (or anyone vegetarian)? Unless one believes that unborn cows have souls or some such?

Well, I think you’re taking this more seriously than I intended, but:

1. The breeding stock is no longer necessary so off to the rendering plant or whatever.

2. Presumably, farm animals are only found in zoos or on the properties of the few remaining barbarian carnivores.

3. No cute little chicks, lambs, calves, etc. found in common agricultural areas for her to anthropomorphise over.

Of all the breakfast meats why isn't chicken one of them?

Chicken fried steak?

They just give it a fancy name.

Because they are usually served with eggs.

Homemade Taco pizza tonight for me. Mmmmm good

Been doing Keto (fewer than 20g net carbs daily) for a few months now. Hard to give up all pastas, potatoes, bread, sugars but after 2 weeks became real simple. I can eat all the fat, red meat and other proteins I want. I eat a bunch of bacon, ribeye, eggs and cheese. My cholesterol is damn near perfect and same with my blood pressure. I have to drink in moderation and beer is off the table, so that sucks. But it’s amazing how healthy you can be with all the fat as long as you have no carbs.

I’m at a family function this week and broke my diet for the festivities. I’m not loving all the carbs and can’t wait to get home and start back on the Keto diet again.

Another great advantage is no energy slumps. Without carbs, my body burns fat instead of glucose for energy so there is always a constant flow of energy regardless of when I last ate.

That's beef fried like chicken.

 

[riverman]

That was how I lost my 40+ pounds a couple years ago. Nowadays I have to eat carbs just to make sure I don't drop below they weight I want to be.

heart failure is a hell of a weight loss program but really effective

 

[crandc]

Vegetarian breakfast. Roasted vegetables with cashews, brown rice, fruit, yogurt.

I'm a fan of the Mediterranean diet myself, lost 51 pounds and kept them off 3 years
I did get indulgent over the holidays, meat and sweets but taking the weight off

I've been eating mostly fish and chicken, but last night I grilled a New York strip steak. Yum!

Burn the fat until it catches fire and long enough for it to blacken, brand the grill marks in a cross hatched pattern and make sure the inside part is medium rare and you're talking my favorite steak. Now, add a large russet potato baked to perfection and add butter, sour cream and chives. Now, add a quality red such as a Mondavi, Napa cabernet sauvignon or a Columbia Red Willow Valley cabernet sauvignon or a Chateau Latour or a Chateau Lafite-Rothschild and you're talking a dinner to remember. How about some Cherries Jubilee for dessert?

Okay, you talked me into it. Now, give me your address and when to be there.

Edit: ps Be sure to use natural all wood charcoal on your grill.
