Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Keto Kooking Korner

Pestoes can be spread onto bread, mixed with pasta, mixed with a pizza’s tomato sauce, it can also be used to flavor a strung rolled roast…
Here are a few other ideas:

Finally, a really basic one that shall make your steamed roots taste like heaven:
Fat inhibits the capsaicin so greased peppers burn less. If you are agonizing after trying Dave’s insanity sauce, DO NOT SWALLOW & DO NOT DRINK WATER! It will dilute the capsaicin which then will burn your esophagus and stomach. Take a nice spoon of butter or oil and let it melt in your mouth.
Bon appétit!
BTW: Trump went keto!
Pesto is the best way to eat spaghetti squash :)
What’s the squash in spaghetti squash?
It's all squash, lol. A stringy squash. After you cook it you remove the fleshy part from the skin with a fork and it resembles spaghetti.
It's kinda firm, I don't like it with sauce, but with a oil based topping it's pretty good :)
