You may fascinate a woman with a piece of cheese 🧀
I am not a woman, but I would be fascinated too
Fun fact: if you are ever on a plane with a crying baby take a slice of cheese and carefully place it on the babies face. The parents will be so happy with you for calming the baby.
I read that on Reddit at some point. It seems like solid advise.
I'm a man, but... what kind of cheese?
I always advise Morbier
Tempting, yes. Add some variety and I'm in. I didn't have Epoisses in a while, and I'd love a good Brie. Taleggio! Oh god, I'm so hungry :-(
Époisses is really good with a tawny port. At first glance it seems like a flavor mismatch as the port is quite strong, but it conjures up a magical honey like aroma, which is uncanny.
Bank holiday in Germany prevents me from buying more cheese right now. All I have left is some Appenzell and Gorgonzola. Sheep's or goat's cheese as well. I have to check, but I think there's some port in my poison vault as well.
Ah, us swamp Germans don't let ~~bank~~ Christian holidays interfere with capitalism that often :p.
Another cheese tip, but one that's hard to get outside of burgundy, is Cîteaux. A really unique take on reblochon, that has a sharp, tangy note in it. I always pick that up when travelling through there.
Labor Day, so no labor at all.
I think I had Cîteaux before, but I'm not sure. Whenever I'm in France I throw idiotic amounts of money at their dairy industry. And buy all the Belgian beer I can carry.
Your a person of great taste. If you read a bit of Dutch, I'd recommend this book:
💖 The bit I can read is just the overlap and similarity. But it seems there's an English version I have to check out. Thanks for the recommendation!
I'm an uncultured swine and I'd listen to/read the two of you talking about things all day.
But the chicken looks like shit in a vase after like 1 day whether you water it or not.
Rookie mistake, you forgot to take the meat off and bleach the bones. Sure, it's a lot of work, but a glass vase full of chicken bones is a time-honored legacy.
Don’t you mean get “Us” a rotisserie chicken?
You stay away from my chicken!
Problem is, she's vegan, so she's against picking flowers and against eating chicken.
It's best you just save the money for a month or several and buy her LEGO.
Get out of here oligarch. No working man has LEGO money in 2025.
Lego is like the modern version of roman families handing down their armor and weapons to future generations BC ain't no fucking way they affording a whole new set each damn time the Gauls start acting up.
If they'd had Lego they could build fresh armor to fit
And no oligarch will spend 500€ on a crap LEGO car when a real (used) one costs less. And while Cada has much better ones for 200€.
Wait, why are vegans against picking flowers? Broccoli is a flower! It needs to be picked before eating!
Lots of vegans, and non-vegans, are anti-picking-of-flowers, because if you leave them to live, they live longer and look prettier, instead of wilting sadly in a vase until they're fully dead.
So for some people, it's better to give them a live plant, so they can kill it by accident on their own time.
Ive been vegan for more than a decade and most of my circle is vegan. I don't think i know of any vegans against cut flowers. The only argument i can see is that if you were cutting flowers found in the wild then you could be harming the environment which indirectly hurts the wildlife and pollinators. But i think most vegans would be ok with buying flowers. My wife and i also just grow our own and cut only a fraction of what we plant.
Btw if we're talking about Costco for chicken, they do have reasonably sized bouquets for as cheap as $10. And while that chicken will be gone in a day or two, Ive kept a Costco bouquet alive for my wife for a minimum of a week.
Broccoli is for sustinance, picked flower will just needlesly die. :P
I’d be picking them bones, know what I’m saying?
Or you can get her a hotdog combo and still have $3.50 left to spend for yourself.
Three fiddy?
or, like, a whole egg
Just don't eat the chicken on the way home. You're asking for trouble.
As an AroAce women I think the choice is very obvious :3
(Especially if garlic bread is a side dish with the chicken and maybe a salad)
I can go out into a field and pick a whole cute looking bucket of flowers. Chicken it is.
The flowers?
Or get a chicken bake, a hot dog and a soda and still have money left over.
Edit: I just went to costco and their chicken bakes are 3.99 not 2.99 😭
Also those Costco chickens are way better than regular grocery store chickens from like Safeway or whatever. They’re way bigger and juicier, I think they’re brined or something. It’s like other stores aren’t even trying.
The closest thing to flowers I ever received was a cactus. It died.
Do the flowers also contain concentrated microplastics?
Of course! What doesn’t nowadays…
Those are complimentary
It is mayday after all. The theme should be bread and roses. You should have your chicken and the flowers too.
