Tucked into some black bomber cheese this evening. I've really missed it.

Went for a walk after I came home. The way back home was the worst walk in a lifetime. Gout is back with a vengeance. This time at the right ankle
I literally crawled the last 300 yards when a neighbour (I never saw him before) asked me if I needed some help!
Feck! Vegetarian for a few days and back on Allopurinol for a month

Careful lad! How is your gout doing?Originally posted by NickFitz View PostRoasting a Gressingham duck for dinner.
I was supposed to do it at the weekend, but I didn't feel that much like cooking. Also, I managed to have a decent breakfast both days, and I never seem to want a big dinner after that.
So it's roast duck for Monday evening
Duck is high in purines !!!

My brother's taken the Allopurinol all the time since he started on it five or six years ago, and hasn't had an attack since.Comment

No problems with the gout since starting the pills. Maybe this'll flush it out and get the doc to up the dose - I'm due for a review of it soon. But I love duck, and I don't remember ever having attacks related to it before, not even when Sainsbury's have been doing their half-price ones and I've had loads of it.Originally posted by FatLazyContractor View PostCareful lad!

Fair enough. Guess it is a different trigger for everyone.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostNo problems with the gout since starting the pills.

Back in the saddle at client co again.
Sat in my rented digs going over the year end accounts.
Could really do with a drop of something but the duty free from the weekend is all at home

Realised that there is one thing I hate more than writing recipes and that's reviews.
