I'VE GOT CHICKEN THIGHS roasting merrily in the oven so I can't be too long. I really must get back. I'm starving. They always come out really nice ~ far nicer than the supermarket's industrial version, which always for some reason has slimy skin with catfood-style jelly clinging to it. Does anyone know why theirs comes out that way? Mine has crackly dry skin you can peel straight off once it's cooked and line a wholemeal pitta bread with. It's always been heavily "marinated" with cooking oil and spices (jerk seasoning, "chicken seasoning" (glorified paprika'd celery salt) and Chinese curry powder in this case) but doesn't look quite as lush as the ones shown. I think maybe someone put bits in their marinade... Do you think so?
I have been trying to cut out using heroin all together. Bear in mind if you're not a regular reader that I DO have a methadone script which should be quite ample. But it just doesn't hold me when I really need it, not without my counterbalancing more of this one day and less of something else the next (which is why I can't see how "supervised consumption" would ever work in the long term for anyone using both. You NEED to be able to adapt how much and exactly when methadone is taken, else it just won't hold you properly. That's what I've found, anyhow.
Anyway I was trotting down the street, as I do when a scruffy old junkie I know said "Yo!". Turned out he had bags of gear to sell. I really wasn't into buying off someone I've not bought off before, though I have known this guy for years. He was a bit scruffy and smelly to have been doing a roaring business in drugs-selling. Surely if things were that good he'd have invested in some shower gell/shampoo etc? Anyhow I got drawn into conversation, asked for his phone number... remarked I wouldn't really want to buy anything without a sampler first, which he didn't want to do. 
Well I said let's go into a phone box and let me put my nose in the bag. If I can smell the gear I know it's decent. Which I did. And could smell it. And it was decent. I got him to sell me only £5 worth, which most dealers won't do. So tomorrow, a brand new day with methadone galore I hope (against hope, it has to be said, but the intention's firmly there) to launch into life anew without any heroin ever again any more!!PS: Doesn't that old man look like a homeless version of Anna Karenina author Count Leo Tolstoy~??

Well tomorrow's a new day so you can have a new start eh?
The grocery store is likely doing racks and racks of chicken thighs so the searing heat won't get to them, plus there would be far too much humidity in the oven/ too many juices for them to get crispy. They don't sound very appetizing.
I hope life goes well for you as you kick the heroin. I know when something goes wrong when you are vulnerable, it kicks back. Stay strong buddy.
Gledds,
You are going to turn into a big chicken, my friend. I like chicken, too, but lordy.
Love,
SB
Enjoy the chicken. Hope that the heroin habit is done with. Take care of yourself.
I know chicken doesn't do it the way heroin does, but more chicken and no heroin, Gleds. I hope that five pounds worth doesn't send you spiralling back down. You've been doing well, lately. Keep it up...
AKELAMALU: AYE!
JEANNIE: I'll try to stay strong. I left out the bony almost-scraped carcase of the last chicken overnight when it was three days (in the fridge) old. But this was left to fester. And by next afternoon it smelled putrid and vomitsome like a prostitute's gonorrhoea knickers!
SB: I'm already sprouting feathers as we speak ...
SYD: when will it ever be done? I feel no hope at all I'm afraid ...
PUSSINBOOTS: I know I've been doing well but I've still been using bits. Everyone asssumes this means I've stopped, but I'm better despite, not because of this. Un4tunately ...
:-<...
Stop buying heroin and buy new hammies!
It would say "Shoot! under the "Leave your comment" above this box furnished for that....
at any rate, methadone and heroin are quite different drugs. It has been years since I have shot heroin, but the past 5 was on 50 mg methadone a day for back pain. Despite really missing the rush, give me the methadone anyday. Makes one feel good, energetic, and lasts a long time-just like a tootsie roll. Previous to the methadone, I was prescribed oxycontin 80 mg., which is death! One of course becomes addicted when taking 50 mg. of methadone a day for 5 years- I was already addicted to the oxycontin, anyway. My alternatives were extremely unattractive: The doc began by prescribing Vioxx-a sort of super ibuprofen-which not only did not help my pain, but was later yanked from the market for causing heart attacks and strokes, costing the company that made it millions (if not billions) in lawsuits. Vicodin and Lorcet helped, but the old resistance goes up quick and you need more and more. Also, they both contain a good amount of tylenol, which is probably more harmful on a regular basis than the hydrocodone! Thats when the doc prescribed the oxycontin. Two 80's a day. Run out of them, and 4 hors after you take 'em, you start feeling decidedly ill. "Dope sick" is the colorful street term. And resistance skyrockets unbelievably with that crap. Told the doc, get me off this shit! Methadone was chosen to "wean" me off, but after the first prescription, that wasnevermentioned again. My pain was not bothersome, really had no ill effects at all. My other "alternative" was back surgery, for which I had to sign an agreement that stated if they "goofed," and paralyzed me-they had no liability and I could not sue. So, lemme see here-heart attack or stroke, addiction, or possible paralysis with no recourse other than being pissed off. Gimme the addiction, every time!What is the problem? As long as the scripts keep coming, life is grand!
