...one happy crowd. For Labor Day festivities, we had several people over to the house (14 adults and their kids). I got a chance to break in my new upright smoker. It's gas, which really makes cooking easy. At any rate, I was taking a big chance since I hadn't cooked on this unit yet (you have to get to know your smoker), but things seemed to work out well. The ribs were OK, definitely not the best I've ever cooked, but they were decent enough and every one seemed to like them. I'm my own worst critic when it comes to cooking, but I have to say, the chickens (2 whole chickens) were INCREDIBLE. My mom gave me a beercan chicken recipe book a couple of years ago and I've never really had the facilities to put the book to use. That's no longer an excuse as this smoker has tons of room in it. That chicken was INCREDIBLE. completely full of flavor and very moist. It was so good, I'm going buy a couple of chickens tomorrow to cook during the week. It's easy, and healthy. My mouth is watering just writing about it!
Hundred pushups - My shoulders are beginning to hurt, so I took a few days off to give myself a couple of days to recover. I did my end of week 2 assessment, I pushed out 35 pushups. I'd imagine at the end of another week I'll be very close to 50. We'll see if this old body will hold out.
Enjoy Labor Day!
