Speaking of Noses….
Not surprisingly, thinking about my nose got me to thinking about things I like the smell of. (Should I have said, “…thinking about the things, the smell of which I likeâ€? Nah …. too cumbersome.)
Anyway, here is the list, which is in no particular order of preference
1. Apple Pie in the oven
2. Freshly ground coffee
3. Cookies in the oven
4. Freshly bathed and powdered baby
5. Pizza
6. Gardenias
7. Sausage, peppers and onions cooking on the boardwalk
8. Roasting peanuts
9. The seashore
10. Wet dog (just checking to see if you read all the way to the bottom of the list)
Admittedly, this entry is not long on serious content, but I trust that it doesn’t “stink.”
My # 2 – Freshly cut grass.
# 1 – Freshly cut grass mowed by someone else.

I really liked this post. Good memories. Good stuff.

As to number 4 I’m sure you forgot to mention that they also must be properly cooked.

Acidman’s probably going to ban me from linking to his blog after I cat-blogged (he HATES cats as much as I love them), but oh well. He has a post up about the worst smells, and links to another post
