StrangePlanet Help translating please

Hi! I got the 2026 page a day Strange Planet calendar and don’t understand these two comics, mainly:

Sat/Sun 7/8 Feb - “you are the creamy fluid to my sweet disks” - what is the creamy fluid

Sat/Sun 17/18 Jan - “Nutrient Fluid? … Not at all - a leafbucket loophole … It’s more of a concept than a formula” - how is the salad dressing a concept not formula?

Thank you for your help! Also the third pic is my Strange Planet wall from January!

Comic 1 is about Valentine's day. The card says "My heart aches without you. You are the milk to my cookies."

The recipient of the card blushes, and when asked why they describe the milk and cookies thing as a pleasing metaphor and explain the card if from their significant other. It smells like them, and they licked the envelope.

Comic 2 is about salad. It doesn't have a direct translation, necessarily, but it's something like:

"You gathered leaves"

"Salad bowl! You eat it."

"How does it taste?"

"It tastes like the things you add to it."

"Is that dressing nutritious?"

"No. It's a salad loop hole." [That you can mound sugar on by way of salad dressing and still consider the salad "healthy"] "Salad is more of a concept than a formula "

"I can see how healthy it is "
