I plant the potatoes and wait until they flower out of spite.

(well, more accurately, because I have a small farm, but still some spite).

I showed my wife this. Asked her what if I gifted her a wheel of cheese for our anniversary.

She said she would remarry me. But it would depend on the kind of cheese.

Yeah flowers can be like 8-30€. That wheel of cheese is worth a whole fortune. A kg of really cheap cheese already goes for like 10€/kg.

An aged cheese the age of your anniversary would be a cool gift. But it would get very expensive very fast

The wine goes in the sauce, and you can grate the chocolate for a topping

I'd be ok with a flowering plant, something I can put in a pot or the garden and it'll live.

Reminds me of a guy who ordered pizza to the pub but didn't want to make the landlord cross so he got enough for everyone. I had three slices and some of his weed.

Optionally for periods the wine can be white since you get free red dye

Bro have you seen the price of cheese these days ? I almost felt like crying in front of the pitiful slice of comté costing 38€/kg in the store's fridge yesterday.

(Though this screenshot is a few years older than the inflation spike)

Add a piece of dark chocolate with chili pepper, everyone looks at you funny when you suggest it, but it's always the combo they make for themselves afterwards.

If he really loved me he'd think about what things I actually need/want, and spend that precious money on something useful & thoughtful. Flowers are so ridiculously EXPENSIVE & USELESS then they DIE, so men who buy flowers are either wealthy & stupid, or poor & stupid. Financially irresponsible.

Or you can just enjoy the mac & cheese, chocolate, and wine separately, like a non-psycho!

Yes perhaps but the only way to legally responsibly gather flowers is if the flower giver has their own garden on their own property. Very rare scenario nowadays.

Well, i do have a pretty nice balcony selection. That said, though, i don't think anyone would care about me pulling some tansies, lupins, daisies, or poppies from a vacant lot. You could do a lot just with grasses too.

Edit: ooh, i forgot clover flowers. Amazingly pretty. Dandelions are lovely too.

Edit 2: just saw a big cluster of forget-me-nots

I agree, but on a small technicality that i would still love plants. If its not meant to die and be wasteful, i will cherish it. But no one really means that when they say flowers as a gift.

Or, and I'm just spitballing here, a dash of mustard and paprike with a buttery crumb topping. Which would be complimentary to macaroni and cheese and not make your mouth scream in agony at the fact that you are eating three things that do not in any way shape or form go together in one dish.

Then maybe give them the wine and chocolate as a dessert.
