According to internet lore, the man must reciprocate with a wheel of cheese.
Government cheese.
Unauthorized government cheese.
Ah refugee of reddit, well met.
Same energy, equally as thoughtful, and both very nice gestures.
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.
That guy clearly knows what a woman desires.
I 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…
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.
Damn, that’s fondue for the whole families!
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.
Even just the fact that she has a garden is enough for me to consider marriage.
oh how the tables have turned
Andrew Johnson supporter, so the 19th century version of a MAGA.
nothing more marriage material than a dude who believes in:
- a man
- a flag
- a holiday
wow where are people with such deep philosophical beliefs now
Any idea what a “waterfall” is in this context?
A waterfall is a type of cardigan.

Mine gave me eggs from her chickens. This is the moment you realize you’ve won the lottery.
There are some sweet people in the world.
Fresh eggs? Hot damn. One day I hope to have chickens!

Marry her
She is a keeper!
How is this a meme
It’s just a pleasant interaction
Wait. Are memes just peasant interactions?
The real memes are the pleasant interactions we had along the way.
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
Always have been.
Wow! The only thing missing is a meme!
Squinted at those tomatoes assuming it was Loss somehow…
Oh god man, get some help
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.
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.
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!
Another tip would be, never use wine you wouldn’t drink in your food!
That’s a keeper.
Does she also have bees?
Only 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!
If only. Some day…
Just walk up to a girl and give her a nice rock you found on the beach. Magic might happen
Can confirm. When i first met my fiance, i gave her a tea box that i filled with pretty rocks, shells, pinecones etc. that i had found and enjoyed. We spent basically every day together for a month, but i already had a move planned and after i moved we drifted apart. Saw eachother maybe once every couple years as friends, and we both had other relationships. Then 6 years later we both got out of long relationships at the same time, ended up reconnecting, and basically immediately moved in together. She still had the box. Now we’ve lived together for 5 years and are getting married soon. Girls like pretty things that you find on the ground, and they like it even more when those pretty things make you think of her.
please tell me that that is the guy from the cheese thing.
he deserves something like this
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.
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.
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
Unless you’re from very rural area - then you should kinda have the garden by default.
