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.

From the "Think Before You Eat Out" file:
Olive Garden chef boils himself in oil
Best comment: They tried desperately to save him but unfortunately he pasta away.
2nd runner up: If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
NO! Not that way.
Ugh, I hope that’s a joke. I saw someone recently post in India they don’t reuse frying oil. That’s hard for me to believe given the sanitation of making food. The guy I follow is a doctor. I can’t remember his name he’s Josh Duhamel‘s (actor) brother. Apparently reusing or keeping oil hot is a risk of getting cancer. Frying is a moot point, the seed oils used to fry isn’t healthy at all.
Its for real. Another article, different source.
Peanut oil and bacon grease for me.
No comment from the Olive Garden head office.
Not even "...try our toasted raviolis. They are to die for."
I hadn’t researched it yet, thanks for updating me. I’m on no carb diet and occasionally carbs. I don’t use peanut oil because it’s high in carbs. I keep tallow on hand and avocado oil if I bake.
