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
Anybody have any great recipes they'd like to share? Particularly healthy entrees and side or veggie dishes. I'd love to see what our fellow GAWers are eating to keep fit. Thanks.
Thanks, PepeSee. I love Bush's backed beans the best and I also love a really good Andouille sausage. Appreciate the recipe.
FYI: I don't know if you still have your crock pot, but the lid on my old crock pot was wrecked. I tried to find a replacement to buy and couldn't. Called the company and what do you know -- they sent me a whole new crock pot!! I couldn't believe it. Mine was at least 9-10 years old at the time. Brand is Rival. Oh, and I didn't have to send them my old one.
This should absolutely be the thread for that - these guys are always talking food. 😅 Try posting "earlier" in the day if you don't get a lot of suggestions.
Alright, thanks! I'm just going through my messages and am already surprised to find two recipes!
Tzatziki: 2 cups Greek yogurt, full fat (10%), 1/2 cup grated and drained cucumber (squeeze all the water out that you can, sprinkling with salt and letting sit 5-10 min helps), 1-2 tsp minced garlic, salt to taste. Great dip for anything crunchy, blend out with mayo or oil for salad dressing, top strong-flavored mutton or pork. Optional, as dill or other herbs to taste.
Thank you. I've never heard of Tzatziki. I've been avoiding Greek yougurt because I saw that obnoxious guy from Chobani on 60 minutes several years ago. He was horrible!! Made me so angry. But there are other brands, so I'll give it a try because I do love yougurt. Thanks again.
We get Cabot from wally world or Specially Selected from Aldi... Chobani is all about importing slave migrants for invasion. Greek yogurt just means different culture and, if you're lucky, goat milk. I'm working on convincing the spouse that a milk goat or two would be really handy... Enjoy!
I would dearly love to have some goats! As well as other farm animals.
