Have they invented bacon ice-cream yet?

Yep.





I bet the Italians even have bacon gelato.

30mg codeine? Three times a day?

That sounds like quite a bit.

Is it pure codeine, or is it a smaller amount of codeine coupled with something like Tylenol?

From the box & prescription:

"44 CODEINE 30MG TABS - One To Be Taken Three Or Four Times Daily"

It's pure codeine. One of the only things I have found genuinely effective with aspects of my condition, but I don't take it anything like as often as I'm supposed / allowed to. For one thing, it's an opioid and addictive (as I'm sure you know), and reduces in effectiveness over prolonged use. So I tend to skip days altogether when I can (and even sometimes when I would rather not skip them), and never take more than two a day - one in the morning, one before bed... but ideally, just one or none at all. Right after my steroid injections, if that works (it doesn't always) I don't take the codeine at all for several weeks or even a couple of months...

Used sparingly, it's a god-send

Saw a pocket quad copter the grandkid has and looked at them online. They appear to be quite fun to fly, and have a camera.

But the endurance is poor. Only 5 to 7 minuets.

Oh, and I ain’t old enough yet.

I am, I think??

If you age backwards, I guess.

Like Benjamin Button.

30mg 3 times a day is a pretty mild dose. That's only 3 Tylenol #3 tabs. (30mg codeine/300mg acetaminophen)
Standard dose for moderately severe pain is 1-2 tabs every 4-6 hours. Maximum dose of codeine is 360mg/day. 4Gm for the acetaminophen. Acetaminophen overdose is as much of a concern as narcotics. A one time overdose of either will kill you but an acetaminophen od doesn't do it quickly and peacefully; it happens slowly and painfully over the course of a few days and you don't see it coming until it's too late to do anything about it other than a liver transplant and that isn't a guarantee.

Yeah, my uncle was hit rather hard with arthritis and took codeine (among other things) for years. To have any effect he had to steadily increase dosage until they no longer has any effect and only made him more sick. Then followed two weeks going off the codeine completely suffering the combined hell of intense pain and abstinence. After that he could start all over again.

He had endless empathy with drug addicts.

Plain old aspirin was always my pain medication of choice
Can't take it now due to my blood thinner.

Yep.

Nope, we have good taste

Going back to the BBQ... I have a n00b question. If you guys are barbecuing fatty meat, how do you cook it so that the fat doesn't drip onto the charcoal and cause flames that end up burning the meat? The only way I can think of doing it is to arrange the charcoal into set areas, and put the meat on a part of the grill that isn't sitting directly over the charcoal - then close the lid to get enough temperature to cook the meat. Any advice would be most welcome, as the pork sausages I cooked today had a high fat content. I ended up with some flames that charred the sausages way more than I'd have liked (although they tasted great)

I don't do barbecue (those things that look like spaceships), but I do grill (and we call it barbecue here )


Chicken: long cooking time, high above the coals, few coals, dying fire in the back, turn frequently.
Pork: medium cooking time, medium height, few coals.
T-bone (bistecca alla fiorentina): short cooking time, only turn once or twice, low height (almost touching the coals), lots of coals, lively fire in the back.

Since a grill is open, if I see grease starting a fire on the coals, I simply scramble them with the poker to extinguish it.

Atwood's Bakery in Louisiana has it once a year during Bacon Fest.
We are fearless over here when it comes to bacon.
Is everything better with bacon on it? See for yourself

That's funny, just yesterday I started a thread on the Weber forum about this subject.
Some folks get their shorts in a knot if you call grilling barbecue.
Here's my post:

"I fully get having two topics here, barbecuing and grilling.
But when was the last time you invited folks over for some grilling?
People put bbq sauce on meat and cook it in a slow cooker, or oven, and call it barbecue. That's a no go, of course, terminology and technically wise.
Personally, I think it's fine to lump both methods together and call it barbecue whether it's cooked outside hot and fast on a grill, or low and slow in a smoker."

Interesting. And mouth-watering... it's almost dinner time here.
