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 evolving
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
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

My 7 year old granddaughter will come down (she lives behind me) to make her 'famous' Sticky Stuff pie again that she made for Thanksgiving. Since her Daddy and brothers loved it so much, we decided to make it again for Christmas. It's actually a chocolate icebox pie. Something she can pour in, mix and put in a graham cracker crust. So we're getting her started young in the kitchen. She kept calling it 'sticky stuff' so that's what we now call it. KEK!
You are making lifelong memories for her Mary! Precious! š
I want her to think her grandma is the best! KEK!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
And Iām quite sure you are the best Grandma!
YAY! Some of my favorite memories were made in my Grandma's kitchen...
I know what you mean. I spent a lot of time in my Grandma's kitchen too. I think that's where I learned to cook. I've never been told anything bad so I guess I'm doing right. They always appear at the table.
Okay, Pea Pie (that's my 7 yo granddaughter's nickname) just made her Sticky Stuff pie and gone home to get ready for Santa.
I made 2 dozen of deviled eggs, chopped my celery and onion for my 'chicken' and dressing so I'll have something extra to go with the Ham.
Made a 'million dollar pie' a cherry pie, a banana pudding and a 'poor man's pudding that I got the recipe online. Now I just sit back, wait till morning and put my chicken on to boil for a good broth and meat. Put my ham in the oven and take a breather for a few.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I will be using my mom's cookie recipe for Russian Tea Cakes, with a minor modification, for a Christmas Cookie contest.
Ooh! Sounds like fun. I'm sure you'll win. You can tell me about it after Christmas. It'll be a blue ribbon winner for sure.
