Onions were on special a while back and I was low on cash. So my immediate choice was to buy about 10kg of onions.
So far Ive done airfryer onions (not too bad as a side dish), lots of caramelised onions, that also led to onion marmelade, then onion soup, I pickled some of the onions, Ive made onion pastries and stuffed onions.
Im just happy I dont like my coworkers, because they definitely dont like me anymore.
Drop your fave onion recipes because I just went shopping and they were still on special.

So far only got to the Research level so I've barely started but the semi retro aesthetic and gameplay is really a nice change of pace from modern games.

I have tried to keep away from spoilers and mostly succeeded, but one thing that I did pick up, instead of spoiling anything (I hope) is that some of the books are narrated by the Lady? I think? It would be so amazing seeing the story unfold from her point of view if that is so.
I've been on a pretty long gaming break for a while actually...
My previous gaming binge was Factorio Space Ex mod and Id gotten to about midgameish before I had to take a week break for work.... Unfortunately that kind of got me out of the zone completely so when I returned to the game I just couldnt get back into the groove of it so maybe Ill try to pick up where I left off some day.
That said I love the base game (enough to commit to playing space exploration), its just great in how I can spend an hour (or five) to make my one factory work optimally and then to be able to see the results and know that if I ever need to expand itll be easy to just copy paste and know wverything will just work.
So I've finally gotten over my gaming break; and I started Vintage Story today, what some people might call a hardcore 'minecraft' clone.
So I'm speaking from when I last played Minecraft, around when beta was released, but the first thing I realised about an hour into VS is just how beautiful the game is for a voxel game. Theres just so much variation in biomes and plants and textures that at some points its pretty easy to gloss over the fact that the game is based on a 1x1x1 grid.
Getting into the game; it HARD at first. I had a moose curbstomp me because I was close to its young I think and then I pretty much got spawn camped by a flock sheep of all things.
There are various hardcore elements that I really appreciate with VS that I felt (obvs could be outdated by now) really just completes what minecraft promised in a survival game. Im 4 hours in and it STILL feels like im barely surviving. I went out mining for my first copper ore, but that meant I wasnt foraging enough fresh food to keep my satiety up. (I know I should start farming but I'm still looking for a better base location than my hobo cave)
