it's a late spring/early summer, lazy Sunday - late afternoon.... cool breeze, blue skies and enough sun to make everything perfect.

i'm making chili. got the turkey mince cooking (mince = hamburger), chop up some big onions, garlic and zuccini and throw it all in. generously sprinkle in some turmeric and cumin and soon, the smell of cooking onions, garlic and spices is wafting through the house.

the smell makes the day just..... bliss....

i am a contented angel

so what food smells make you contented?

There are so many food smells that make me happy. The smell of anything baking makes me feel all cozy. Anything with cinnamon, yummmm. The smell of garlic. There are some smells from my childhood that I have quite clear memories of although I haven't smelled them in decades & probably never will again. The smell of Rulepulse wasn't one of the most pleasant smells, but it meant I got to eat Granny's Rulepulse, so that makes it a comfort food smell for me.

One of my talents as a cook which I admit to is my ability to, in spite of producing smoke and the smell of burning, come up with something which tastes good and isn't burnt. For example when I cook pancakes, my most difficult and challenging dish, the resulting smoke would be sufficient for a tribe of Apache Indians to be able to order a number of pizzas through the use of smoke signals. However...

I would have to say that the favourite smells I could produce from my cooking and comfort foods would be that of curry. Sometimes I like to use my wok and working with chicken build a decent style Malaysian curry based on cocunut and ginger, or the dry but very hot chicken bhuna cooked in the pot where you have the onions frying in the groundnut oil and to which you add spices such as garam masala, chilli, turmeric, and so on, or I will quite often cheat and come up with a Chinese style green chicken curry using the paste from the Chinese supermarket.

There are a few comfort foods that the aroma as I come through the door after a long day's work bring a smile to my face.

meatloaf, roast chicken, scalloped potatoes, cookies, chili, but my absolute favorite is pasta with sauce and garlic bread.

Fresh bread for me too, or rice and beans, but the smell of someone else's cooking is best. That means nothing will be burnt or otherwise inedible. ~smiles~
