    I have known some that have used it with some success and others for
    whom it didn't work at all... but never tried it myself, nor have I been in on someone's use of it...
    It's kind of a fringey sort of treatment.
    True.

    Although it was originally suggested to me by a doctor
    who was impressed by my bad reaction to lovastatin.

    And still you get news stories that the drug companies
    have hidden evidence and suppressed studies that they
    deemed too unfavorable to their product.
    Somewhat to be expected... unfortunately... which is why, having read
    the entire insert, I then go on to be exceedingly watchful for adverse effects... I don't really trust any of them very much.... and my record
    has been pretty strongly on the the "I get the bad side effects" side of things for almost every drug I take....

    Mine used to be to get the full effects both good and
    bad at half the dose, still true of a lot of things,
    especially OTC things, such as those travelers' standbys
    Benadryl and Imodium, which have caricature effects on me,
    making me drowsy or stopped up for days.

    of flying does not. Which reminds me of the guy who
    lived out in the boonies and wanted to drive a car,
    but there were no cars and no roads, so he had a car
    shipped his way by a boat and built a road to drive it on.
    We encountered his story on our trip up the Alcan highway.
    Very enterprising... :)

    His name was George Johnston, and his precious auto
    came on a boat down Teslin Lake from Whitehorse. I
    looked it up.

    Which reminds me to start shopping for hotel and air
    for the annual Singapore trip.
    When does that happen...?

    MLK weekend, so third week in January.

    Too bad they probably didn't appreciate the goodness...
    Letitia's mom, a delicate soul (which her father is not, and
    the kids also are not), was visibly squicked out by the red
    jiggly meat on her plate.
    Sigh...

    I could have said, I'll trade you my done to sand chicken
    breast for your raw beef, but she folded it in a napkin
    and said she'd recook it at home.

    special, and I can't speak for Letitia, as we parted
    soon thereafter, but Bonnie got violently ill in a
    public space (luckily it was in a church courtyard,
    not the church itself).
    Oh dear.... sounds like the special was specially bad... at least you
    got a nice pork rib with your mixed grill....
    It wasn't the most inspired restaurant to be found in France.
    And one to be avoided hence....?

    Goes without saying.

    Title: EASY CHOCOLATE TERRINE
    Categories: Italian, Desserts
    Source unknown. I don't see what's so Italian about it.
    Maybe the unknown source had been Italian....?
    Maybe. Sometimes I use the categories field to add side
    comments like the origin of the recipe rather than that
    of the dish, but on the other hand the origin shouldn't
    be filed off in such a case.
    One would think... :)

    Should go without saying.

    ... Actually we're all semi-normal, except for the food obsession thing.
    It's in our genes, same as the tendency to duck when an
    eagle flies over, and is perhaps one of the most normal
    things about us.
    Ok... :)

    I'm sure that after a hard day out in the wilderness, the
    cavemen would compare notes about how the day's hunting
    and gathering had gone.

    CROCKPOT PULLED PORK (CIVILIZED CAVEMAN)
    categories: paleo, main
    servings: 6

    4 lb bone in pork shoulder
    4 Tb smoked Ppaprika
    2 Tb sea salt
    2 Tb chili powder
    2 Tb ground cumin
    1 Tb ground pepper
    1 Tb dried oregano
    1 Tb white pepper
    2 ts Cayenne
    1 Full batch of my Beasty BBQ Sauce

    Mix all ingredients except the pork shoulder and
    the BBQ sauce in a small mixing bowl. Mix all well
    making your spice rub. Massage the spice rub all
    over the meat in every crevice you can find. Wrap
    tightly in a double wrap of plastic wrap and
    refrigerate for at least 3 hr to overnight or up
    to 3 days. Unwrap the roast and place it in your
    crock pot, add 1/4 c water, and cook on low for
    8 to 10 hr until the meat is fork-tender Transfer
    roast to a cutting board and discard all the liquid.
    Tear the meat into thin shreds with two forks or
    your fingers. Place all the shredded meat back in
    the crock pot and toss with a full batch of Beasty
    BBQ Sauce and heat on low for 60 min until hot.

    It's kind of a fringey sort of treatment.
    True.
    Although it was originally suggested to me by a doctor
    who was impressed by my bad reaction to lovastatin.

    Some doctors understand that GRAF (generally regarded as fringey) things
    can be quite useful... like my PCP that prescribed using capsaisin cream topically for the post-herpatic neuralgia in my back... gabapentin and
    before that amitriptyline gave me issues, and I wasn't willing to take
    the chance on Lyrica after that, but the cream was actually on the list
    of possibles from the very beginning....

    And still you get news stories that the drug companies
    have hidden evidence and suppressed studies that they
    deemed too unfavorable to their product.
    Somewhat to be expected... unfortunately... which is why, having read

    especially OTC things, such as those travelers' standbys
    Benadryl and Imodium, which have caricature effects on me,
    making me drowsy or stopped up for days.

    Benadryl I've only used topically, Imodium never helped me anyway...
    gabapentin was just beginning to be therapeutic (at still a rather low
    dose) when I got slammed with bronchitis out of nowhere, a known but
    rare side effect... also was getting some of the brain fuzz, so just
    tapered off and let the doctor know...

    So a ways yet, but not too early to start planing... :)

    Oh, well..... hopefully she enjoyed it later... :)
