Kept telling myself "Yah..I still have time." Well now times up, oh well next time. I'm still going to have to try this on my own sometime soon. Everything looked awesome!
 
Well this Carne Asada was supposed to be my first throwdown entry, that is until I fell and broke my left wrist, hand and fingers
two weeks ago. Yeah, I'm a lefty. So mine will have to wait for another day. With all of the delicious looking entries here it will be
tough to choose a winner.

One armed griller for now, stranded with the gasser.........
