    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.

    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)

    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.

        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.

        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€.

          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.

        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.

    It is mayday after all. The theme should be bread and roses. You should have your chicken and the flowers too.
