Ah, young romance. Actually, it’s a good strategy to find out if she can cook. You’ll never be sorry you married a good cook.
Legendary lineup i just got
Well, this would def be appreciated by me (oh fuck, this is goin to be fire with pasta and also costs a lot) and my instincts (oh damn, this guy has food)
Steam the what? STEAM THE WHAT?!
Steam the hams, obviously.
If you hadn’t posted it, I was going to.
“If a PIECE will fascinate her…”
I’m not a woman, but I will admit that giving me cheese gets you my full attention, if not outright devotion.
Does it have to be name brand rue, or can I use the generic store brand?
What happens when you get her to your room and she says “Is that my shoe?”
And just like that… late stage capitalist society winds back at hunter/gatherer tribal norms.
How did he hunter/gather a cheese wheel?
Haven’t you seen the traditional British reenactment of a bronze age cheese hunt?
Cheese-Flowers-Potatoes for me which incidentally is also arranged highest price to lowest. My kids got me a wheel of Humboldt Fog one year for Christmas. Cheese is a fantastic gift.
My wife ordered it cheese -> potatoes -> flowers
He can afford to feed her. Clearly a catch.
…people always like to forget, how much in love relies on instinct.
Now that’s a keeper.
Marriage material. Cheese is my love language.
Back in the days when men used to try to charm me with flowers, I remained polite & grateful on the surface but LIVID on the inside because
If he really loved me he’d think about what things I actually need/want, and spend that precious money on something useful & thoughtful. Flowers are so ridiculously EXPENSIVE & USELESS then they DIE, so men who buy flowers are either wealthy & stupid, or poor & stupid. Financially irresponsible.
They smell nice. And they look nice. For a week
They were dead the moment they were plucked from the soil.
True, but you can zombify them with some water
I agree, but on a small technicality that i would still love plants. If its not meant to die and be wasteful, i will cherish it. But no one really means that when they say flowers as a gift.
I’d carve out an exception for responsibly gathered flowers.
Yes perhaps but the only way to legally responsibly gather flowers is if the flower giver has their own garden on their own property. Very rare scenario nowadays.
Well, i do have a pretty nice balcony selection. That said, though, i don’t think anyone would care about me pulling some tansies, lupins, daisies, or poppies from a vacant lot. You could do a lot just with grasses too.
Edit: ooh, i forgot clover flowers. Amazingly pretty. Dandelions are lovely too.
Edit 2: just saw a big cluster of forget-me-nots
If a romantic suitor handed me a bouquet of weeds, how do you think that would affect my perception of him? Again I say if he urgently wants to give me something to show his love for me, he will evaluate my life & my needs & gift me something I actually want & need. THAT is what wins a girl’s heart. Not dead plants.
I think in my case, if you judged a gift of hand-selected wildflowers as a bouquet of weeds, I think we both would have established each other’s bona fides and we’d be done, so that’s kind of a win-win there. :)
If she doesn’t want him I’ll take him, cheese is one of the ways to my heart.
Chocolate+red wine for breakups and periods
The wine goes in the sauce, and you can grate the chocolate for a topping
Or, and I’m just spitballing here, a dash of mustard and paprike with a buttery crumb topping. Which would be complimentary to macaroni and cheese and not make your mouth scream in agony at the fact that you are eating three things that do not in any way shape or form go together in one dish.
Then maybe give them the wine and chocolate as a dessert.
Or you can just enjoy the mac & cheese, chocolate, and wine separately, like a non-psycho!
Optionally for periods the wine can be white since you get free red dye
Uh. That’s enough internet for me today.
Does your sister live in Stardew Valley?
Cheese is expensive af. And tasty!
Not if you’re a farmer who’s making it. No fake inflationary markup.
Add jam or dulce de leche and the combo becomes a thing of dreams 🤤
Add a piece of dark chocolate with chili pepper, everyone looks at you funny when you suggest it, but it’s always the combo they make for themselves afterwards.
Guava jam, salami and provolone also go fantastic together. They hit the stomach like a bomb the first time, but it’s easy to get used to too.
When I worked in telecom, suppkier would always send candy or other crap by Christmas time. One supplier sent me a wheel if cheddar. Still remember this 15 years later. But I’ve forgotten every other supplier
I would 100% prefer getting potatoes and/or cheese instead of flowers. I don’t like getting flowers.
I’d be ok with a flowering plant, something I can put in a pot or the garden and it’ll live.
It’s like 3 minutes if “aww they’re so pretty” and then a week or two of watching them die
