COOKIES BAKING

Question Of The Week 01-22-18

What’s your favorite smell in the whole world?
Hot oatmeal cookies after school

37 comments:

  1. Once in a while mother would bake hundreds of oatmeal raisin cookies and we would smell them before we even got to the house after school. She stored them in a huge can and they lasted a long time but not as long as they should have. Still none of them were as good as the first day when they were hot and fresh and drifting on the sweet smell.

  5. Fresh baked bread, and I do like the outdoors smell of freshly cut grass and believe it or not the earth has a comforting odor in the warm dirt as you work with it when planting.

  8. Favourite smell is clothes and sheets dried on the line in hot sunshine on a windy day. Close second is salty ocean air. Then vanilla and almost anything baking in the oven, from dinners to cakes and cookies.

  9. Fresh baked bread can make me hungry when I have just eaten. Leg of lamb can make me drool.

  13. Honeysuckle wafted on a breeze in early summer. It is my all time favorite thing to smell. I was surprised last May to find out that my grandson shares my enthusiasm.

    1. Honeysuckle memories. Loved to pull out the stem carefully and eat that magic drop of honey.

  14. Spring flowers of any kind. Entering a flower shop and smelling the roses (so few have fragrance these days) takes me out of my winter slump.

    1. You are right about the lack of fragrance these days. Why is that?

    1. Oh yes...reminds me of my dad also. In later years he changed to Aqua Velva but I always loved Old Spice best.

  16. Hmmmmmm.....the smell of rain on a parched ground. There's nothing quite like that beautiful scent.

    Freshly-ground coffee is a pretty good aroma, too.

    The ocean...can't beat that, either...

    Oh...the list goes on... :)

    1. I am missing freshly ground coffee. I used to order Jamaican Me Crazy coffee beans but the place I got them went out of business and other brands don't match.

  17. Just washed laundry hanging to dry. Clean sheets on the bed.

    I love most of the things others mentioned, too. The smell of coffee brewing, most anything baking. I would love to smell orange blossoms - sounds heavenly. Love this post.

    1. It has been amazing hasn't it Lynn? So many lovely reminders of special scents. I did so love crawling into a bed of sunshine sheets. Wish I had a clothes line but Ron took it down because he didn't like mowing around it.
