gressenOnly thing missing is some garlic and fresh basil.
You mean cilantro and garlic. Salsa yo.
I like cilantro I just wish I never got the hint of soap sometimes.
Only sometimes?! Do you have like… half the gene?! I have friends who have the gene and HATE IT but I loooooove it
I dunno exactly it seems like it depends on the plant too. I grow my own and it’s super soapy but like dried it’s not, it’s strange.
Ahhh I think you’ve got the gene then. Personally it never has any hint of soap, but like I said, some of my friends find it exclusively soap flavored!
I believe the correct thing to do is bring her some cheese. The nice stuff. Either a nicely aged cheddar or bocconcini. Add a potted basil plant to signal intent for a lasting relationship. T never fails
That’s my fucking love language
I dont know if you’re a man, a woman, or somewhere in between; but if you gave me an aged cheddar and a potted basil I would never let you go.
SupaTubaIs she single?
Don’t care. I’m a straight married man and I want to know if he’s single? Gimme that 12kg wheel of cheesy lusciousness!!
Same energy, equally as thoughtful, and both very nice gestures.
I Cast FistDamn, that’s fondue for the whole families!
NatanoxThat guy clearly knows what a woman desires.
Miles O'BrienI have it on good authority that you may fascinate a woman by giving her cheese.
Although it looks like I’m two hours late on that reference…
He’d obviously read up on 17th century witchcraft. It is well known that you may fascinate a woman by giving her a piece of cheese.
it’s a 17 century text, the main question is why did it take humanity so long to figure it out
I do dirty things for cheese.
A 12 kg cheese required anywhere from 150 to 200 liters of milk (same in quarts for the metric impaired). Just think of the amount of work it takes to milk all that, boil, curdle, culture, skim, and cure for what looks like at least 3 months. These things sell for several hundreds of dollars, and I’m not sure it’s fair to the farmer. He is in love and went for the big guns.
RebekahWSDMy poor husband is going to (hopefully) be inundated with tomatoes when they start growing!
She’s a keeper. As in, keep her.
Dude should be keeping her.
(Get it, be keeping her and beekeeper?)
That’s my jams, I cook scratch everyday and murder dozens of onions a month.
bimbimboyIt doesn’t get better than this. Ask for her help to prepare the veggies!
How is this a meme
It’s just a pleasant interaction
Wait. Are memes just peasant interactions?
No, they’re moments in culture. What makes this meme less is the fact that most ppl haven’t received veg. from a home grown garden.
I thought, at first, they said peasant instead of pleasant. I was going to scrap the post but thought it pretty funny. Culture, at least to me, is a sharing of ideas, and memes being a relatable subtype. It’s kinda sad that gardens and farming in general are relegated to the tradmemes
tomcatt360Always have been.
The real memes are the pleasant interactions we had along the way.
those look like some amazing vegetables, I don’t know much about growing vegetables but I imagine getting them grown like this must take some effort or skill/knowledge
The hardest thing I’ve found with gardening is being able to actually eat everything that gets produced. Either I don’t get to it in time, or too much gets produced, or my life just gets so busy that I don’t have time to cook sometime. The actual growing kinda just takes care of itself in my garden.
Fucking zucchinis. I went from building a fence to protect them from the groundhogs to stacking them like firewood in front of the groundhog’s den.
My mother would leave ‘gifts’ of zucchinis on the neighbors doorsteps when it got bad enough XD
This. Growing food is easy. Eating food is hard. Especially banana.
Tomatoes don’t really. Once you get them growing, which is trivial, the largest issue is you get far too many. I’ve never seen anyone grow onions though, so that might be harder. I don’t know.
My two least favorite things individually, yet essential to so many delicious things.
I would immediately use them to make some food and bring it over.
You dislike tomatoes? They aren’t the best thing plain, but they’re fine. A little salt and they’re pretty good plain.
I understand not liking onions alone, but I enjoy them. I can’t just eat a whole onion raw on its own, but I do enjoy eating some.
It’s the texture.
The taste is distinct, but not really bad. I don’t mind the mild flavor left over in a sandwich that had a tomato slice.
But I can’t stand the texture of a tomato. Not sure exactly why, but even a small chunk in soup or salsa makes me gag. I blend salsa up so it’s consistent.
And onions are both for me. A tiny piece of onion will ruin the entire burrito. From the weird crunch to the taste that lingers even after I down a few chips and half my drink.
I go through onion powder fairly quick though, I add a little bit to a lot of my dishes.
It’s unfortunate. My husband also hates tomatoes…but loves what they become. So it’s all about the texture of a raw tomato for him as well!
please tell me that that is the guy from the cheese thing.
he deserves something like this
LibertyLizardI think my first tomato will be ripe tomorrow. I’m so excited.
Lvxferre [he/him]I’m waiting for my yellow bell pepper to get ripe.
I mean, it works in Stardew Valley, so why not real life?
Would work for me not gonna lie
It’s as simple as you make it.
DestideThat is some grade A produce
I wonder what dating is like when you have so much money that you already have a garden. When I met my partner we both lived in shared houses.
Unless you’re from very rural area - then you should kinda have the garden by default.
You can grow a really nice garden on a balcony or in windows. Tomatoes, cucumber and chili’s are great to start with and then just experiment
How big are your windows that you can grow tomatoes in them?
When I was in a house share the windowsill was barely 10cm deep. There was no balcony.

Just a random search for example. You can usually read on the seed bag if it’s a variety that works
Yeah our windows didn’t have anything like that much space on them
People who are actually rich don’t have food gardens, they have flower gardens at best. A roommate of mine had a (very bad) garden when I lived with him, and my now-wife had a small herb garden in an apartment. You can definitely have food gardens in shared houses
I briefly stayed at a multi-millionaire’s place. They did have a herb garden. Nice planters and automated watering systems. All provided and maintained by the groundskeeping company, of course. I sincerely doubt they ever planted anything, they just grabbed herbs when they needed them and instructed people what herbs they wanted.
I imagine richer people might similarly have food gardens maintained by waitstaff. Maybe not around their primary residence, but what if the desire to cosplay as or claim to be a farmer or plantation owner strikes them?
That’s fair. A bit of a different scale and intent than I was thinking, though.
Just a heads-up, those are sauce tomatoes. Thanks, Ted talk, etc
Fry the oinions with some garlic (salt it), cube the tomatoes and let it simmer for an hour or two and you got the worlds best pasta sauce.
A Wild Mimic appears!Pro Tip: if you have some red wine left over (or one that isn’t good for drinking), keep pouring some wine in when the liquid dries up, repeat until the wine is gone. tastes fucking great!
