Reading the email it looks like I just get weighe/measured and piss tested, but have to go back to the lab on a separate visit for the blood draw.
I'm hoping I can take the lab voucher and just go straight there. Trying to get this done after working all night and I need to get to bed. |

Haven't ordered from Ravi in awhile... years, probably. He had what I wanted, though, so I pulled the trigger. Just looked at the tracking info. Czech Republic? Really? Accepted on the 21st and cleared on the 27th? What in the actual f--- took them so long to clear a package containing ONE box of cigars?
And when I was in Hong Kong in 2004... so was he and his bidness. Did he move? |

I haven't ordered from him in a couple years either. Last time I did it was from Hong Kong. |

Flawed... CB works for CBid, not for Ravi. CBid is a US based company... Ravi's is not.
CBid orders do not go through customs...
So flawed... |

Had to type out chicken gyros recipe for brother in law, figured I'd share with yall.
1 chicken deboned and skinned
jar of minced garlic
lemon juice
red onion
tomato
2 salad cucumbers or 1 regular cucumber
Olive oil
Whole milk Greek yogurt
dry oregano
black pepper
wine or cider vinegar
pitas or lettuce
Strip the chicken and chop into 1" strips whatever length
In a big bag throw in a bunch of greek yogurt, a hefty spoonful of minced garlic, good splash maybe tbsp or two each of lemon juice and vinegar, couple glugs of olive oil from the jar, big palmful of oregano, small palmful of black pepper.
Mix in the chicken strips and massage. Put it in the fridge, give the meat a rubbing every time you grab a beer until you go to bed, and again in the morning. Gonna want 20-24 hours in the mix. I've done same day and it's not as good. I've done two day and it comes out with a mealy texture like the **** broke down the chicken too much. 20-24 hours seems to be the sweet spot.
Mid day the next day halve the cucumbers lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds. Shred the cucumbers, wrap em in a towel and squeeze the hell outta them to get as much liquid out as you can. Mix the dry shreds with a few scoops of yogurt, a scoop of minced garlic, a small palmful of oregano, black pepper, and a good splash of lemon juice and olive oil. Mix it up and put it in the fridge for dinner. Could probably do this same time as chicken but I've always done it the next day.
Dice up the red onion and tomato, maybe some parsley or something if you got some lying about but I just did onion and mater.
Cook the chicken on the stove or the grill. I used the grill with a cast iron griddle reading 500° tossing around every few minutes for about 10minutes total cooktime.
Serve on pitas or a bed of lettuce and top with the onion/tomato and the sauce.

Try it, it's good and easy! And probably fairly healthy save for the whole milk yogurt but you're not eating much of that.
