Aside from the virtual cake obviously... grin

It would be really helpful for us to know what you like about Gransnet, and what draws you to the site? Is it the general chatter and social aspect, the advice, the competitions, the word games, the articles, the webchats. If you were to pick your top three (or if you can't think of three then just one will do!) reasons for logging on, or what keeps you coming back, what would they be?

Anniebach Tue 01-Aug-17 20:49:48

Ana Tue 01-Aug-17 20:51:26

rosesarered Tue 01-Aug-17 20:53:11

Mmmmn, that golden slightly browned topping, bubbling slightly with salty goodness....go get it! grin

Anniebach Tue 01-Aug-17 20:53:55

Don't forget the beer

Best Welsh Rarebit I ever had was at Rhug Farm Shop cafe. No idea how they got it like that (mustard or beer maybe?) utterly I could have eaten it all over again. Recipe please Anniebach !

(sorry to shout)

Jalima1108 Tue 01-Aug-17 22:05:10

Ignore, Ignore, Ignore

Alima Tue 01-Aug-17 22:10:17

Toasted, baked, grated, raw. Just don't tell Jalima!

I'll tell you why I am on gransnet Lara, I can spend a happy hour saying daft things off the cuff to likeminded people who, on another serious thread, will also contribute thought provoking intelligent and compassionate opinions on everyday life that affects us all. There is so much pleasure to be gained so easily with others at the same stage of life and overall it is a great place to speak out or just listen, laugh and cry, be honest and be naughty, whatever you feel like being when and where you chose.

You all sound as if you have fallen, slightly drunk, out of Soops Kitchen or that other place that wants to be more 'edgy'! grin

Recently joined - as retired in May so more time!
Mainly for the Forums and the chance to compare the differing experiences of life and the various ways we have of coping.

Jalima1108 Wed 02-Aug-17 14:27:30

It's all the beer that they put in the cheese Penstemmon
Or it could be the fermented anchovies in the Worcestershire Sauce
(I didn't partake, being a good two-shoes)

Jalima1108 Wed 02-Aug-17 14:27:39

goody!!

LaraGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 02-Aug-17 15:59:12

Thanks Menopaws smile. And everyone else.

Jalima1108 Wed 02-Aug-17 17:00:18

They do say that eating a piece of cheese between meals helps keep the metabolism going.

That's my excuse today.
