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...
- Damn, that's fondue for the whole families!
- 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
- 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.

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.
  
  The real memes are the pleasant interactions we had along the way.
  
  Always have been.

According to internet lore, the man must reciprocate with a wheel of cheese.
- Government cheese.
  
  Unauthorized government cheese.
- Ah refugee of reddit, well met.

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.

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.

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

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!

Is she single?

please tell me that that is the guy from the cheese thing.
he deserves something like this

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!

Wow! The only thing missing is a meme!
- Squinted at those tomatoes assuming it was Loss somehow....
  
  Oh god man, get some help

That's a keeper.
- Does she also have bees?

She's a keeper. As in, keep her.
- Dude should be keeping her.
  (Get it, be keeping her and beekeeper?)
  
  You mean build her a beehive and make her the queen?

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.

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

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.
  
  This. Growing food is easy. Eating food is hard. Especially banana.
- Stick seed in ground
  Wait
- 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.

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.

My poor husband is going to (hopefully) be inundated with tomatoes when they start growing!

That is some grade A produce

I think my first tomato will be ripe tomorrow. I’m so excited.
- I'm waiting for my yellow bell pepper to get ripe.

It doesn't get better than this. Ask for her help to prepare the veggies!

That's my jams, I cook scratch everyday and murder dozens of onions a month.
