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
If you're getting tired of soy sauce, check out tamari sauce. 3 parts tamari to 2 parts oil, paprika and a pinch of brown sugar makes a sauce/glaze/marinade/whatever that goes real nice on meats and veggies alike before cooking. You don't need any extra oil, just soak in the mixture for 5-15 minutes and throw it on a hot pan.
You can also feel free to add mirin/rice vinegar, sake, ginger, honey etc - goes well with this stuff
I need to be putting ginger into more things!
And garlic. And turmeric (in general, not for this particular thing). Together they will boost your immune system, help your heart and circulation and do lots of other good stuff to your body.
