How did you find GR
I was online looking for a recipe for something different to do with chicken and happened upon grouprecipes.....And the rest is history...I can't even remember what I found to cook but I know that I've been hooked on this site ever since.

Ruskingirl my friend for over 30 years told me about a site that she said was fantastic. She has been a cooking inspiration to me, so when she told me about this site I knew I would love it.
AND I DO!

Lineb told me about the site because I was complaining about always cooking the same food, she said you were a great group of people and I have to agree everyone has been very friendly =)

Leman... I am craving Mac and Cheese!

Sitting here in San Antonio... wishing I had a kitchen ..

I found GR by doing a search for something else... Needless to say I got sidetracked and have been every since! Love this site...

Way back when, the site was campaigning for new members and sent a message to a recipe newsletter, offering a contest for new members. I joined and got some friends to join. It was a different world back then....but still great!

Linda......so happy to see you around....Hope things are better....

Seems like we were either looking for a recipe or a friend told us about it....I know whenever I talk to someone about food, I mention the site...My daughter joined because I mentioned it to her too....Although she isn't on very often, she does come here when looking to make something.....

Thanks Diva...

I actually was reading a magazine and this site was mentioned as a great source for recipes, I had forgotten all about that and the article, weeks went by, then I had started my food blog, the dinner and jam blog and wanted to make sure a recipe was correct in something so O did a search like many of you here, and voila, the heavens opened, the sun shined through, I heard the angels (ok opera singers sing ah -AHHHH) and signed up right away...been very happy I did...you's all are such nice people!

I was so stoked as I watched the numbers grow is my recipe views...lol, and was super stoked when I reach a group 5 level...lol....I recently made it to be a 10 (whatever they mean) and looked over at the dog and shared th news with him. He wasn't so impressed, snorted or snored - I am not to sure which, for all I know he did both and went back to sleep on the couch.

wynnebaer 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
The thing that I got all excited about was making friends....And being able to share my recipes with others that love to cook as much as I do......I have to admit I watched the numbers go up but still haven't figured out what they mean either...I hear it has something to do with your activity on the site along with recipes that you post.....:)

I was lurking at a forum called copykatchat and someone mentioned this site. When I came here, piggies, that contest you mentioned was going on. I entered, too. There weren't very many people here back then!

This is the very first site I have actively participated in and am glad I have met all of you!

I googled a recipe and went to several sites...including GR. I looked around all of the different sites but this one seemed more user friendly and fun, so I joined. I'm glad I did. I Love this site and I've made some wonderful friends.

ruskingirl 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
I googled a recipe and this site camp up. I became so addicted so quickly.....I told my friend, gramma58 about it. We both love to come here and chat with all you great people. It's so much fun and has helped me find many new recipes.

I was also a victim to the google a recipe and find GR scheme....sounds like a conspiracy to me. hmmmmm

LOL

I think I must have been looking for something to do with pork chops because that is the first fav on my list. I remember finding this place and joining, then putting it under my favorites and then it took the rest of the summer before I finally came back in and really got into the group.
And yes there was drama going on then, too. Didn't make me wanna be here any less. :)

Hey, wynne....great topic!

I have to admit I was also looking for a recipe and GR popped up and I was hooked!

Love making friends and sharing recipes and I have sure done a lot of both.

Thank you to everyone for making me feel so at home and being so much fun! Love you guys!

Thanks....See me blushing?

I have to admit this is the first site I ever became active with other members in....Okay, not the first if myspace counts...but that's just so I can keep an eye on my kids....TeeHee.....:)

Ditto, recipe search brought me here, friends keep me here.

RE: How did you find GR
Another ditto from me, I searched a recipe and found the site.
Checked it out for a bit, and decided to join.

I'm with Notyo -- recipe search BROUGHT me here, but it's the friends that keep me here :)

wynnebaer 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
I am so proud to call you all friends!!!!!!!!

kukla 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
Hiya, Wynne :)

Yes, friends keep me here.

And, thanks to those friends, I no longer worry about the idiots on the site. Don't read what they post, don't read any thread if it turns ugly, rude, swearing, etc...Ignore all the crap, and I enjoy all the good people I've met....On occasion I might have to help / support / back up those friends. So be it. They were there for me when I needed them and I don't soon forget.....

No, I'm NOT a prude. I just decided that if I wanted all the crap then I would join some other site and get my fill of it there. Or, maybe join a travelling circus and get some cheap thrills..... Well, I didn't; I joined this, Group Recipes, to get some Great recipes, meet some Great people with common interests, and get some culinary help from time to time. Other than a few 'hiccups' that we have had to encounter, a few bad apples that had to be picked and discarded......this site has supplied me with wonderful recipes & friends.

I am proud to be a part of Heat -- AND MAS !!, Unbroken Circle 4, Food for Thought -- and numerous other groups.

And, I am proud of my TRUE Foodie Friends.

Well said Kukla,.....I too have learned to let all the crap roll off my back....And have found that if there is a problem, to go to Kris......I love this site and the people I have become friends with along the way.....I love the few bad apples statement you make.....don't let it spoil the whole bunch, I say........Hey, there's a song in there.....:)

pleclare 3 months ago said:

Hey ladies,I completely agree. This site and group are great and so are the people in it. No more acknowledgeing the problem makers. Emails straight to Kris!

Used to have Tiger Beat mailed to my house....Got it sooner than everyone else that way..... Remember, I was gonna marry David Cassidy.....:)

kukla 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
You couldn't have married him, cause I was engaged to him -- except when I was engaged to Bobby [Sherman] :)

kukla 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
Yes, Pleclare -- attempt to dissolve & dilute it, and if that doesn't work, ask them to leave.

And, if that doesn't work, straight to Kris.....

Well, I was a Donny Osmond girl myself. I think he still looks great! :)

kukla 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
LOL, Frankie :) I've been told that I looked like Donny when I was about 12 -- wasn't sure if that was a compliment or not :)

I used to collect the Partridge Family cards (like baseball cards?? Remember those, anyone??) If you got enough of them, you could piece together the huze puzzles on the flip side -- I used to secretly think that if I got the huge 'I Think I Love You' pic of David BEFORE my sister did, then he'd marry ME instead of her...LOL!

Then, I got Bobby's 'Turtles & Trees' album, and the fold-out poster that you get with the LP ended up on my bedroom wall instead... Bobby's eyes could melt you!!

kukla 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
Yes, Donny still does look great...

BIG TIME Sean fan here, though :)

wynnebaer 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
I have to admit I liked the Osmonds too....And Donny does still look good....But my true love was David Cassidy.....I wrote him a letter every night for 2 years....Wonder why he never answered me?.........:)

Bee Gees I was (and still am) crushed when Andy Gibb died. Sad.
After that, David Cassidy. I Loved his hair!

RE: How did you find GR
omg wynne, we were separated from birth, obviously I was thrown out with the bath water and sent on my way - lol, but david cassidy was the first concert I went to... and my gawd, sean cassidy in the hardy boys...ohhh those were the days of love boat and ze plane , ze plane

wynnebaer 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
The first David Cassidy concert I went to was 2 in a row...He was doing 2 shows at a venue in Boston and I got tickets for both....My guy took me to Mohegan Sun several months ago to see him....Still got it....:)

The first concert I ever went to was Beach Boys

rml...Love the BeeGee's...Just got their double set greatest hits...Listen to it all the time

ruskingirl 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
Wow!!! My first concert was David Cassidy too...I loved the song "Brown Eyed Girl" I knew he was singing just to me...but I have to admit that Davey Jones was the cutest (swoon) guy ever. Hey, hey we're the Monkeys.

pleclare 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
I love the BeeGees too!!

kukla 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
RML, sweetie, I actually cried when Andy Gibb died! He was gorgeous, wasn't he???

And, Ruskin, I LOVED Davey Jones' accent!! In fact, my first 'boyfriend & true love of my life' was British (English), and my hubby is a Scot. It's funny when he gets mad and the accent gets thicker, lol! Almost worth getting him upset over, (I know; NOT nice :)

Diva, my first concert was -- are you ready?? -- KISS !! They could put on one great show, to say the least! I love watching Gene Simmon's Family Jewels now -- funny, witty, reality show -- sans touts la merde. The kids crack me up with their sarcasm!

thepiggs 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
I guess I will have to weigh in on this.....
First concert....was one of the Dick Clark Caravan shows, way back when....can't remember exactly who was there, except for Gary Lewis and the Playboys.
The first REAL concert was Herman's Hermits, with the Animals as the warm-up band. OOOOHHHHHHHHHHH
You guys are too funny about the first stars you had crushes on.
I got our girls some teen heart throb stuff and one of the things was a puzzle of Andy Gibb. Their room was the whold upstairs of the house. I walked up the stairs one day and through the railings I saw and heard what was going on........
.........they were fighting over the chest hair of the Andy Gibb jigsaw puzzle! It's still funny. This would have been between '82 and '84 or so.
Still smiling and shaking my head.

frankieanne 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
That's funny, piggies! I love that story about your girls.

Its so amusing to me how these threads meander. We started with a search for a chicken recipe and are now on a fight over Andy Gibb's chest hair! :-D

wynnebaer 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
Really...Don't you just love it?.....

Okay....Chest hair or no chest hair?

rml 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
I'm not a fan of chest hair or back hair...but please don't tell my hubby.
He was a pole vaulter. One of his buddies told him that he should take off his sweater before competing.
He was a walking rug but as he gets older, the hair is not quite as thick.
I actually tried to comb his chest hair.....he didn't see the humor in that...:(

pleclare 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
I like a little chest hair but not a rug. Fraid Phil's is all gray these days but still like it!

ruskingirl 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
RML, LOL!!! That is so funny. Our daughters told my husband not to get to close to a velcro wall because he would be stuck forever.

kukla 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
LOL @ RML :)
I can't imagine WHY hubby didn't see the humour :)

Now to the question at hand.....Hmmmmmm; Not sure if I'm a fan of chest hair or not -- I guess that depends on who's chest it is on :)

But, Sean has some -- so, I think that makes me a fan instead of a fence-sitter :)

wynnebaer 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
I remember being at my guy's mother's birthday party one year.....Somehow, and I won't say how, he got his shirt off, and we stuck balloons with double sided tape to his chest.....It was fun till they had to come off.....I guess you had to be there...:)

Oh my goodness, what a great thread!! I found GR because I was comparing 7 layer salads on the 'net.

I found Dugger's recipe for 7 layer salad while reading my cell phone. Something I do late at night when hubby's snoring...he wakes me up, so I flip open the cell and read the internet there!!

Anyway---found this place, and it took me a while to get acclimated to the site, chat in the groups, etc. People here have been so welcoming to me, and I've made some great foodie pals here!!

Love GR and glad to be here.

kukla 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
Hi, Gramma :) I miss a TON when I'm not here for a couple of days :)

Knox, I searched out 7-layer salads too, and also found Dugger's version. And -- in true form as I always do -- I ended up with about 10 different, equally good, 7- (or 9-) layer salad recipes!

I wanted the original, classic version (which I FINALLY found), but some of the updated ones are fabulous....

wynnebaer 3 months ago said:
RE: How did you find GR
That's why I am a true believer that even if a recipe is posted, if there is a variation in yours, post it....I have looked for something and seen 6 recipes for that something and come up with what suits my families tastes....:)

You guys are hysterical! David C.. chest hair...

Hubby is not talking hair today... he had a shave before surgery... I told him how it was going to itch...

He had his cath today... found a small blockage on top... and a problem in the bottom.. they are wanting to go ahead with neck... soon. then do the heart.. These people are driving me crazy with there changing minds... They send U in a panic.. then say.. OK.. then start again with the "bi-pass" word... Dealing with them since the last of March.. and they are still "talking"....

I told my honey last night (he's away at the moment) that I shaved my legs and my back (just joking girls) its always a joke between us two (ok now the group) I joke he has more hair on his chest (than the top of his head) - though its not bad - as a younger gal, I preferred bare, not that I am older, I prefer one who can um... handle the fryer skillet, if you know what I mean...::wink wink - AND knows how to fry! lo

yeah leah , keep those spritzers of yours coming girl....ok ok I will

How did we get from "how did you find GR" to "Chest/Back hair"?

On the first topic I found GR through my great SIL jaeleepoms.

On the second topic, I must say I'm not a fan of chest/back hair. My father could have been mistaken for Sasquatch. He was 6'4" and hairy from head to toe. Kinda scary! But he really was just a big teddy bear (literaly and figuratively)... Fortunately my DH isn't hairy

Chest/Back hair...not keen on my wife having chest or /back hair...actually!!! but now Freckles?? I like freckles!!
