I can't say that I have, but for all that I like cooking, that's slightly more involved than what I'm looking for. I just don't have that kind of available time on my hands.

If I manage to live long enough to retire, that (and cheese making) might be in the cards though.

Or better, depending on one's point of view.

A crying shame that. Well, I suppose the only thing I can do I hope it all turns out for the best for him, despite the odds.

Indeed. And that's hardly the only way in which Agent Krasnov has helped Russia either.

So the people into it tend to claim. They also tend to claim that "death is romantic" and "the only color is black", so their claims should perhaps be taken with a modicum of salt.

That looks tasty. I'd like to eat more tofu, but around here it's considerably more expensive than most meat, and that's assuming one can find any.

"T-that's great. Thanks! Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go fetch some gasoline and a box of matches for no particular reason. Why don't you make your way to the back yard? I'll meet you there in just a moment."

That's an excellent addendum. Thanks!

Russia is getting desperate, I see.

Damn straight!

We might be looking at the latest incarnation of natural selection here. You tried your best to help your friend act in their own best interest and were rebuffed. It's a shame, but what else is there to do but let it play out?

Yeah: There's no rush, and anybody claiming otherwise is trying to scam you. Read everything twice. Don't sign anything you don't comprehensively understand, and don't hesitate to seek an expert opinion to help you understand it.
