Pretty much.  It wasn't horrible, just not something I ever would ask for
or 
want to see again.  You are however descibing the cafeteria food of my 
childhood.  It was pretty nasty, especially the criminal things they used
to 
do to vegetables.  No poor defenseless green bean or carrot survived the 
experience.

-> A little oatmeal is OK as a binder ... but not as a stretcher. Bread 
crumbs are

Amen.  I did just use quick oats in a meat loaf tonight, but it was made of 
ground chicken.  Surprisingly, it worked fine.  Tomato sauce however was 
omitted.

No problem.  Those are delicious; there's just something nasty about tomato 
juice or the V8.  Tomato sauce is generally yummy unless it's some sort of 
mess like Ragu. The no sugar added variety of that isn't half bad, or
wasn't 
when it was still available.  I haven't seen it in ages. They left the 
garbage out and it tasted like food.

Except that I drink a glass of wine about twice a year, and a beer about
the 
same.  It might be a sinusitis hangover though; I have that 24/7/365 to
some 
degree.  It'll go away when I'm dead.
