    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 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!

        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

    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.

      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.

    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.

          It’s unfortunate. My husband also hates tomatoes…but loves what they become. So it’s all about the texture of a raw tomato for him as well!
