@ThanosReXXX: I was always taught that lower-case t = teaspoon and upper-case T = tablespoon. Just thought I'd clear that up. I had thought that designation was fairly common tbh.

The recipe had it as "quick oats", but I usually refer to them as just oats or rolled oats. Minced onion could technically stand in for the chopped onions if needed (but where's the fun in that?).

Am I the only one who dislikes PC gaming, Steam and its fanbase? Before coming here, I was at odds with a PC fanboy on a Disqus site, man he ticks me off. He thinks PC gaming is master race and think all companies (Including Nintendo, PlayStation and more) should be on PC. Maybe he's the reason why I disliked PC gaming because Steam gave birth to arrogant and jerky PC fanboys like him.

Whenever someone says Steam is better than said online service and used the Steam is free argument, I get miffed because it reminded me of that PC fanboy and it made me remember my dislike of the PC gaming community. But I got over it somewhat.

I don’t really do PC gaming anymore, but mostly just because I already do intensive stuff on a pc at work all day.

@Alantor28 Not many people really like Steam because it’s Steam, it’s just convenient to have most available games in one place. Consumers and developers are starting to flock to the Epic Store because it has better service, so don’t expect people to talk much about Steam in 5 years.

no, you are not.
so many Steam users are insufferable, with their holier than thou attitudes. it's toxic af, and definitely makes me less likely to game on a computer.

You don't have to be friend with everyone on Steam to enjoy PC games... or am I missing something here?

The PC Master Race is just an extremely vocal minority. It’s a bit ignorant to judge an entire platform based on a small group of people.

Remember back then when people could enjoy a video game without automatically becoming part of a toxic fandom?

@Blitzenexx Apparently only in English-speaking countries...
But in all seriousness: I left the States when I was 9, so as you can probably imagine, I wasn't really into cooking back then, let alone into understanding recipes, and seeing as I've been living in the Netherlands for most of my life, I mostly (if not exclusively) use Dutch recipes. The different sized spoons have different starting letters over here, so no need for a small or a capital t, to be able to keep the two apart...

But good to know. I'll be sure to make that clear for myself, in my recipe book.
As for the oats: if you'd translate it verbatim from Dutch to English, then "quick" oats, would be "oat flakes".

By the way: is it (like the egg) used as a binding agent for the meat? If so, then a more Dutch like recipe would probably have used either finely crumbed toasted bread or rusk (thick, Dutch breakfast biscuits).

P.S.

Remember back when the word toxic wasn’t even used so much that the impact is diluted? And when it only meant Toxic Avenger was about to come on? 😂

Now why does Toxic remind me of Britney Spears in a semi-see through cat suit?

Now I’m wondering how Jack would look with a see through fur coat. Would it be like fiber optic cables, or those cacti barbs that you don’t see or feel going in skin?

@JackEatsSparrows The real question is if we can engineer translucent animals.

So I went on that date.

Lets just say the damage my ex did by being abusive isn't going away.

@ReaderRagfihs Not a fan, huh?
Me neither, especially not of the current-aged one. But the younger one in that red latex suit, though...

@JackEatsSparrows Would probably have the same effect as that invisibility cloak that the Hobbits used in the Lord of the Rings movie...

@GyroZeppeli Well, they already mastered creating fluorescent animals, so translucent ones seems like a logical next step...
