According to internet lore, the man must reciprocate with a wheel of cheese.

Unauthorized government cheese.

Ah refugee of reddit, well met.

Even just the fact that she has a garden is enough for me to consider marriage.

[–] towelie@lemm.ee 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

oh how the tables have turned

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Andrew Johnson supporter, so the 19th century version of a MAGA.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

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

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Any idea what a "waterfall" is in this context?

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

A waterfall is a type of cardigan.

Same energy, equally as thoughtful, and both very nice gestures.

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 69 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 19 points 2 days ago

it's a 17 century text, the main question is why did it take humanity so long to figure it out

That guy clearly knows what a woman desires.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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...

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 17 points 2 days ago

Damn, that's fondue for the whole families!

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

I mean, it works in Stardew Valley, so why not real life?

It's as simple as you make it.

Wow! The only thing missing is a meme!

[–] AlbertSpangler@lemmings.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Squinted at those tomatoes assuming it was Loss somehow....

[–] mapleseedfall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Oh god man, get some help

Just a heads-up, those are sauce tomatoes. Thanks, Ted talk, etc

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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!

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Another tip would be, never use wine you wouldn't drink in your food!

[–] Kaput@lemmy.world 49 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

That's my fucking love language

[–] Portosian@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago

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 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.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago

please tell me that that is the guy from the cheese thing.

he deserves something like this

[–] gressen@lemm.ee 27 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

Only thing missing is some garlic and fresh basil.

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.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That's fair. A bit of a different scale and intent than I was thinking, though.

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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

Unless you're from very rural area - then you should kinda have the garden by default.
