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.
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
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
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!
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!
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?
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.
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.
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.

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
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 1y
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.

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.
