Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    There is no way for me to know if it's ghadeif or not without making it first (or at least taking a look at the recipe). The thing is that I couldn't find anything with that name on Google...could the spelling be different?

      Re: Favorite Armenian Dishes ...

      I think you meant Khadayif, right? After looking at the recipe, I think it could be it...the yogurt can be easily substituted by ricotta and the topping could be my grandmas idea...I'll be baking it tomorrow and will let you know if that's the one...fingers crosses (that was one of my favorite sweet dishes...)

        It should be Künefe: Khadayif and cheese.

        or Cheese xxx



        or

        Höshmerim, which is baked with rice flour and cheese.

          jenminassian, you reminded me of something that I think is a great idea for traditional family recipes.

          when my grandmother passed away, my mother scanned her family recipes that were written down into the computer and out them onto cds. for less techo inclined, they could be typed in or better even photocopied (the handwriting and notes are part of heritage i think). then she made copies of the cds for all the family members as a gift so that everyone had copies of old family recipes. we all added to that with things that we had watched being made and came up with approximate ingredients and instructions. priceless. i think all families would appreciate that even if the family elders are still living. the young generation might someday want to learn to make traditional dishes and ask someone in the family when they don’t get it quite right.

            Unfortunately my grandma knew her recipes by heart. She never wrote anything down, nor used recipe books, but that is definitely a great idea...

              i'm happy that you found it. now you'll have to make it a few times to get it to be like your grandmothers. i didn't remember having exactly what you described, but i did try finding it earlier (sounds yummy).

              my grandmother didn't write lots of our favorites doen either. we only have what she got from someone other than her mother and family. she also learned cooking from watching. she cooked and we ate great food. but, like you, we are trying to piece together our favorites from what we all remember. when you don't know exactly what she did, put what you remember together with what your family members know and combine that with a recipe that is close to what you are trying to make. you will get it pretty close. that takes practice even if you know the exact ingredients.
