Come ye round, let Frumple speak the mighty secret of "Half-assed Hamburger Steak"!

First! You take a sufficient amount of ground hamburger, probably around a half pound or so, maybe less, I'unno, whatever you feel like eating.

Then! You put it in a pan on a stove and shape it into a MIGHTY HAMBURGER STEAK SHAPE. It's like a hamburger patty, but kinda' oval shaped and elongated compared to a normal patty. You know what I'm talkin' about.

Lastly! You cook it until it's done, maintaining the MIGHTY HAMBURGER STEAK SHAPE throughout!

...

...

That's it. You're done. You can eat Frumple's Half-assed Hamburger Steak now. No clue what it actually tastes like (presumably a hamburger patty considering all it is is an oversized hamburger patty), but the person I'm feeding it to so far has no complaints.

It's already been localized, though!

Just, uh. I don't think officially? Fully playable fan translations have been around for a while now, and a notably improved one released just a few months ago. In april, even :P

A benefit to the big dogs is that you can hug them, though.
That's a benefit to all dogs, though? The benefit to big dogs is that they can hug you. Small dogs can only hug like an ankle or whatever. The hugging downside to big dogs is it's much more likely they can escape the hug. The smaller ones mostly stay caught once caught!

Bigguns also make for much better pillows. The little ones just kinda' squirm and whine 'cause you're probably squishing them more than they're comfortable with, y'know?

I've cooked with it occasionally for other people, sure, but personally just about the only thing it adds to any meal is a worse taste, heh. Usually badly enough I'm just like, nah, I'll pass.

There's an exception or two (for whatever reason, sour cream and onion chips are fine, though I don't like the taste of sour cream or onion on their own, ha, and I can't even taste the stuff in the curry powder I've been basically mainlining for the last while), but generally it's just... bad. To my taste buds. Onion powder isn't quite as bad, but it's still mostly just kinda' nasty.

It's honestly a bit of a conundrum; I really dislike onions, and there's someone else in my home that really dislikes garlic, so between the two of us it's like just about everything in a store or whatever can go to varying degrees of hell :P

Add in there's a salt restricted diet involved, on top of a diabetic, and grocery shopping for stuff you don't make from scratch is... difficult. Basically everything has either onions or garlic, usually both, carb watching is its own mess, and basically goddamn everything frozen or canned or whatever is just friggin' drenched in salt.

There's a market niche for low carb/low salt easy cooked meals that isn't being filled in US grocery stores, right now.

I mean, yes? You could, assuming both things talking there were human. It's more difficult for males, but still possible.

fucking death game jeopardy with zombie alex trebek hosting, most of the gigantic underground stadium filled with rich players, but also a great number of "free seats", i.e. kidnapped poor people forced to play and primarily called on to answer first. Woke up before perspective character free seat victim was called, but up till that point no one had actually answered correctly and about a dozen kidnap victims had been brutally murdered while rich folks laughed. Last question prior was trying to identify the tune played by some kind of Asterix and Obelix music playing toy, weird stuff.

goddamn dream brain, it's been a while since you pulled this shit

Onions in general are one of the worst tasting things I've found in food, t'me :P

Stuff tastes vile in just about every circumstance, regardless of preparation method or other seasoning.

... it's also in basically goddamn everything, so, y'know :-\

I mean, sorta', but it has a literal two letter difference from nineteenth. There's not exactly many federal holidays that explicit as to what date it's celebrated on :P

... oversized burger king hashbrowns? The little disk ones? That's what that sounds like. Also sounds pretty good outside the onion powder :P

Depends on what day it falls on and the workplace, practically. Weekend (federal) holidays tend to be observed work wise on the day before or after (depending on if it's saturday or sunday), since many gov't workplaces are closed weekends. Juneteenth (also idle props to one of the easiest holiday names to remember the date of) is on saturday this year, so a good number of the places that scrambled to observe it would have had their day off yesterday.

Quote from: mark of the fool, chapter 34
“Good luck with that.” Khalik finished swallowing a chunk of meat. “I was told the chefs guard their recipes more carefully than the books are guarded in the library. I am glad it is to your liking, though.”

“How couldn’t it be?” Theresa cut another piece of steak. “Do kings eat like this? This is how I imagine kings eat.”

Khalik merely smiled.

“But,” she continued. “Is this okay? I saw those prices. They’re not cheap.”

“Please, do not worry for that.” The young man shrugged as though it were of no concern. “When we finish eating, we shall simply get up and run for the door. They cannot catch all of us.”

Speaking of hitting Louisiana again!

It's the 2021 hurricane season and tropical storm claudette appears to be aiming straight for it, likely bringing along 20+ inches of rain.

Let's, uh. Hope this isn't the start of a continuation of every gulf hurricane hitting Louisiana. I don't even live there, but damn, give a state a break, y'know?

Seeing that title and then not seeing a farming game headed by a giant robot with a shotel made me deeply, intensely disappointed.
