Do the words bottomless + mimosa sound like good things to you?
But there were no bottomless mimosas in my life today. And no more flat tires. Whew.
I did enjoy a Vanilla Iced Coffee instead.
And I baked.
Not these exact Peanut Butter Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan, GF), but similar.
And I brought back an oldie but a goodie: Overnight Chocolate Brownie Protein Oats with additional tips here
I made Mango Balsamic Rice, Beans, & Mixed Vegetables which smelled really good. The smell of mango cooking is luscious and makes me thankful for my nose. A one-pot complete meal in 20 minutes. That makes your house smell good. <–bonus!
At the farmer’s market I saw a woman selling sachets filled with French lavender.
From my last post about Mushrooms, there are definitely some major mushroom fans!
But it’s a love it or hate it food, I think. Some of you said you hate the fungus. Fair enough.
Questions:
1. Do you have a good sense of smell?
I have a ridiculously keen sense of smell.
I can smell garlic on Scott that he ate 3 days ago on a business trip and 2000 miles away.
I can walk past a person and in passing them, I can pretty much discern if they have showered that day, if they are wearing deodorant, if their shampoo is a good one or not, and how much natural oil has built up on their body. How’s that for an exciting talent.
I can smell bologna in the refrigerator as my grandmother used to say, and this is not always a blessing, trust me. Some things and some people I’d really prefer not to be so acutely aware of. Ahem.
I am the nose/scent equivalent to a supertaster I think.
2. What’s the last thing you smelled that was mmmm, so good? Or what scents do you love?
The cookies I baked smelled so good.
And I love vanilla anything.
I have an entire post on my love for it complete with some vanilla-centric recipes.
I also love body sprays and Carried Away as mentioned is one of my latest faves.
And the smell of fresh roses is always beautiful.
What smells good to you?
P.S. Thank you for all the entries on the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Giveaway! Keep them coming!
I have a really good sense of smell …
Not always the best thing when you teach a bunch of teenagers! LOL!
I love the smell of lilacs, fresh baked bread, coffee …
Coconut lotion smells amazing and reminds me of summer at the beach.
Yum, the oats and coffee do sound good about now.
1. Yes, too good I think because I can pick up awful smells before just about anyone else … like bad breath.
2. Flowers for spring and a wonderful curry lentil stew I cooked.
Those caramel PB cookies look amazing. <3
I definitely agree that having a great sense of smell is often a burden! I am the same way. But I am even worse with my hearing. As in it’s far too good! I am often kept awake by some random noise that no other human being could possibly hear. I once spent the night at a friend’s house and was up rummaging around in her clothes attempting to find “the ticking, the horrible ticking!” She thought I was crazy until at the very bottom of the pile I found a clock that was, quite loudly ticking, but she couldn’t hear it under all of the other junk! Darn ears.
My favorite smells are fruity ones, like citrus, apples, and cucumber melon.
I love lavender! I have a nice sized plant in my front garden that smells so pretty. My Mom has always put lavender sachets in her underwear drawer…..and now I do, too! Funny how some “traditions” follow you , huh? :)
I can’t wait to try iced coffee with vanilla stevia…looks SO good!
I have a really good sense of smell, too! It’s hard for me right now because I’m a little “under the weather” so not having a sense of smell/taste is really frustrating…especially since I’m used to REALLY using those senses!!!
Bottomless mimosa’s? Don’t mind if I do ;) Haha!
Mmm I love BBW scents – my new go-to is the Country Chic scent and Carried Away (like you!!). Loving your other picks as well.
Smells like summa!
MUCH love!
Though I’m not a fan of mushrooms, not even the smell, I am a big fan of lavender, and vanilla. In fact, the current smell pumping through my house courtesy of a Febreze plug-in is a lavender vanilla combination, and whenever I walk into the door, I go to my happy place.
I love summer smells so much. Barbeques and charcoal grills are on the top of the list. And I miss the smell of the ocean SO much it hurts. Freshly cut grass I love too. I think because I associate all these with summertime and the best memories.
