Glad to hear you're on your feet Cal. I hope you're able to get out on the boat in the fine weather headed our way.
Lechon is cochon de lait back home. Its been far too long. Maybe I'll inquire with the butcher when picking up the beef

Gout is caused by uric acid crystals in the bone joints, you need to flush them out.
Drink plenty of water, at least 2 liters a day.
Go up to 3 liters if ambient exceeds 35 Celsius.
Alternate to barley water is cilantro paste, or shreds, about a table spoon daily.
Optional additions to it are mint, onion, green chilies, garlic, sugar and red chilies.
Make enough to last at most a week.
Shortcut is to ask your friend the Indian restaurant owner for green chutney....and dissolve a table spoon in a half glass water, once a day.
Very good for kidney health, and no diuretic effect as in barley water.
Green chutney goes very well with roasted meat like chops and ribs, that is possibly left to your doctor to advise you about what is suitable for someone with gout.

Look what I found yesterday.
Once they can no longer be sold as prime tomatoes they reduce the price and are at their best for Calhoun.
Wave your magic wand for about an hour and you have tomato juice. Here is one of the three jugs this box made yesterday.
The pic of the juice still has many bubbles that will settle over time.
$10 CAD for 5 litres.
If you like tomato juice, there is no comparison. I would pay more for this.

Naresh, I know your heart is in the right place.
You didn't respond to my humour about the barley water.
Your information is 25 years behind my introduction to the arthritis and the best ways to deal wit it.
Please leave this with me.
All the best.

Your thoughts will help me get there. You know darn well I will report back with the good news when it happens. That said, caution will be held within the wind and not thrown to it.
Cheers.
Good man... too many people go out around these parts completely unprepared for what-if. There have been several deaths in the area just in the last week or so. One, a lone kayak fisherman near the spit in Port Angeles, highlights the reason I've been looking for a fishing buddy.
Sometimes I really miss the warm water and broad flats of the Gulf (of Mexico)

Just add a pat of butter under the skin... before baking it sprinkle some tarragon and put them on a bed of thinly sliced lemons.... I love them with baked fries... or what my later mother in law used to call "Tony's drunk potatoes"
Cube or slice potatoes into big chungs ( about an inch cubes is best ).... coarsley chop an onion, a couple of carrots, some celery. Toss all of that with salt, pepper, tarragon, olive oil and lemon juice.
Turn oven to ~425... put the veggies into a baking pan, add a glass of dry white wine ( sauvignon blanc in best IMHO )... cover tight with foil. Put it in the oven for half an hour, then uncover and finish 'till their done.
It goes great with the chicken, some sliced tomatoes ( olive oil, balmasic vinegar )... I even use Heinz ketchup.... I know, but it's goes well..
BONUS POINTS.
Moroccan variation... put a handful of good olives into the potato mix and a couple of home made preserved lemons..
GET WELL CAL.
BTW, I think my arthritic back is finally catching up with me... we'll see... I might have to buy a jacuzzi. This being DIYAudio, after all, I wonder if I can put some quad underwater speakers and play Ozzi while soaking my back.... although Aquaman sounds more apropos than Ironman.

My wife ordered this and it arrived today. I flipped it open and the first ice cream recipe I saw was 'Smoked Hefeweizen". I flipped a few pages back to find "Pear & Blue Cheese".
Now, I'm fairly pedestrian, definitely not an adventure eater, so neither sounded very appealing. I was pleased to find that most of the recipes are more in line with my expectations 😉
Bacon appears in at least 2 recipes and I'll probably try those... stay tuned
In the summertime, a scoop of roasted garlic sorbet floated in a bowl of gazpacho soup, was heavenly. Because it doesn't contain any dairy, the sorbet won't muddy the gazpacho's vibrant color.
However, I never got any positive results with horseradish or baby spinach, in ice creams or sherbets or sorbets.

Yes, no going boating alone. I make sure each person is fully aware of the boat's operation before leaving the dick. BTW< I too am looking for a fishing buddy but I am doing freshwater spots.
This is a completely different dish than mine and the two cannot be combined like that. The ginger in oil is your pat of butter and then I smear the skin with bacon grease.
Thank you Tony.
That is not good news. Not sure it applies but the inversion table I have has kept me out of the physio office for a few years now.
Hi Jack, I didn't know I was copycatting anyone but that is not uncommon for a BBQ sauce recipe. Have even more fun with it and add soy sauce. Onion and garlic powders add their own angle as well.
Yes homemade gazpacho. Using farmer's market ripe tomatoes. If it's wintertime, and panicky desperation arises, a can of Italian San Marzano tomatoes makes a completely edible gazpacho.
While I love the onion and garlic powders, I have absolutely refrained from using them as the wife is very sensitive.
I should have added that the sauce recipe posted above isn't original to me but is identical to the one I use and I thought it would be interesting for the group.
Speaking of San Marzano tomatoes, the Cento brand no longer carries a DOP seal. They are my "go - to" brand, but were probably chastised by the Italians!
I've noticed a lot of pizza snobs have switched from DOP San Marzano canned tomatoes to (gasp!) California grown Bianco DiNapoli canned tomatoes. But in my local market the DOP Italian ones are a dollar cheaper.
I just did a little reading and it seems a number are grown in the USA and are not able to use the seal. That doesn't bother me. I am sure that a great amount of care went into reproducing the growing conditions, no matter the country.
