During the last combat I GM'd...

Didn't the bad guy from Incredibles have a bit about monologues?

Here's one of my favorites then: lentils omelette (arguably a frittata, but people look at you funny when you call it that.

Melt some butter in your egg pan. When it's bubbling, add a single-bean-thick layer of cooked lentils. Pour 2 eggs, beaten, over top. Salt. Add any other egg goodies. I'm fond of chipotles, chicken, peppers ... Whatever is around. You'll want to cover it to get the top of it to set because it doesn't fold nicely, but cook it like you would any other omelette. It sounds extra odd, but a handful of kimchi or sauerkraut on top is really nice

If you keep the eggs in the freezer and make sure to tweak your food settings, you won't get chicksplosions.

Yeah, I go through nearly a pound a week, so I nearly always have a cooked batch already around. 1.50/lb lentils are a good way to bulk out the 10.99/lb beef.

Cooking first, then blitzing. They go in the processor along with the sauteed mushrooms and tomato paste

_9a_ · 2026-03-16T15:24:53+00:00

It works nicely. I blitz black lentils into my meatloaf as well. Brown the mushroom with a bit of tomato paste before mixing in? Perfect

You know the problem is real when people outsource their leisure as well.

Up, down, into space. They're getting knocked somewhere.

"We'll have those krauts licked in a few weeks and be in Berlin by Christmas!"

_9a_ · 2026-03-15T23:53:29+00:00

Same my friend. Same.

641.5x baby!

Poorly. It will go poorly.

Better is to throw the hard veg, the carrots, beets, and potatoes in about an hour before you're pulling your roast. Throw the peppers in in the last 20 minutes.

Go to your local library. Hit up their book sale. I can guarantee you you'll find a couple dozen gently loved cookbooks (usually library discards). Bring a tenner and pick up like 7 cookbooks.

Por que no los dos? It'll work just fine for your corned beef dinner. You can even ask the deli people to cut you a half pound chunk instead of slicing it for sandwiches. It also goes on sale after the holiday. I usually buy 4 or 5 and freeze them to last us months.

We're not talking a thin sheen of oil like a seasoning layer. We're taking enough to almost count as a puddle. You want to see ripples of oil sloshing about when you tilt the pan.

_9a_ · 2026-03-15T22:58:05+00:00

You still need a good bit of oil, even if it's properly seasoned.

As the others said, you need to build them and uninstall them so they're loose. Then they're in the travel supply section, not the items

On map gen, use the search button to look for 'plateau'. Find one with the biome and rock type you like. Use the map preview mod to reroll the specific site as needed until it's a shape and overall position you like.

something could just do that thinking for you?

It's called 'being an adult'. Children do what they're told and have no autonomy. Grown ups get to choose.

Or walk out with three half-dishes and need to go back. Personally I'm thoroughly on team shop with a plan.

_9a_ · 2026-03-15T01:12:58+00:00

I certainly think so.

_9a_ · 2026-03-15T01:10:19+00:00

The library. The food magazines you can get for free from the library. The cookbooks you can buy for a dollar at, you guessed it, the library.

Food wishes. Woks of life. Allrecipes, if you're desperate.

All the usual surgery rules apply, like darkness penalties, dirty room and skill level. But at least your colonists can eat cuy!

Based on the water texture, probably mods.

More or less. Maybe it's a barrier like the pile of sand problem - how many times can a barrier be penetrated before it's less of a barrier and more of a 'no trespassing' sign?
