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.

With the broccoli I'll add olive oil and rosemary (hand-crushed) from the garden.

        Re: Food

        I love eating eggs for breakfast and i love them even more when i make them with basturma or sujugh. The spiciness and flavor from the meat goes so well with eggs. Around here it is not easy to find good basturma and sujugh. The big arab community here supplies most of the ethnic foods and the quality of the basturma and sujugh they provide is not good thus i have to look for the good stuff much of which is made by armenians.

          Lol, you eat busturma and soujoukh in the morning? Doesn't it make your breath smell? If not, I'd like to know your secret.

          I've only ever eaten this in Armenian dinners, and it's always been great

            You eat it on a day you wont be getting into other peoples faces. Now i am earing matsun-they say matsun is good for you especialy if eaten before going to sleep. O and speaking of things that make you smelly in the morning-have you ever tried khash? I do miss khash and winter is the season for it. Besides the bad breath from all the garlic in it-khash has a bonus effect of rendering you drunk and sleepy for the rest of that day.

              hmmm, I've never tried khash and don't really know what it is.

              You know, I cannot help but to have garlic sauce when I have greek or lebanese food for lunch, so I usually brush my teeth (and especially my tongue) afterwards, but I don't know if this remediates the smells of basturma and soujoukh, I've never had to try.

                Khash is a soup made by boiling cow or pig feet/lower legg. It is difficult to prepare for the hair must be meticulously removed and the soup must cook a long time(overnight). Some people like to add the stomach to the mix as well. A large amount of salt and crushed garlic is added before serving and it is customary to do a lot of drinking while you eat. Dried lavash is added into the soup by the person eating it. I think khash was a way for people to use as much of the animal as possible during the winter when food options were more limited. Eating khash is a social occasion where friends get togather eat a lot of khash say a lot of toasts-get drunk and spend the rest of the day sleeping it off. I know this does not sound appetizing to most of you but it really does taste good and the social expect of it is fun to. If there are left overs of the soup it is then refrigerated thus turning into a gelatinous form which can be saved and consumed later.

                    I just chopped up some garlic, Anaheim peppers, Serrano peppers (not chopped) & sautéed them with morel mushrooms in olive oil & white wine for about 2 minutes + salt & pepper.
                    I'd forgotten I had these mushrooms & when I was in the grocery store today saw a small batch of them for sale @ $400 per pound. I'm so glad I went into the mountains and picked these mushrooms.
                    Yum.

                      Been a big fan of seaweed for years.
                      Just today, for the first time, I tried seaweed roasted with black pepper & herbs.
                      My personal food store will contain this food henceforth.
