This morning I needed to bake the no-knead sourdough bread my son had mixed up to rise overnight. While the oven was still hot, I decided to bake up the garlic bulbs that were too small to use for planting.

Baked sourdough with baked garlic overtones is awesome to walk into the house to!

What combos do the rest of you love?

That combo sounds wonderful to me, Jay!

I'm only 64! That's not to old to learn to be a permie, right?

Oats & almost any fruit. Bacon & eggs. Biscuits (American) & breakfast sausage. Fresh from the oven bread, with butter, & honey. Rosemary & lemon. Basil & lemon.

I cant think of any smells I love together, but I can tell you the best thing I ever smelled.

I put onions in the dehydrator and went to bed. Got up to check them about 2 AM. The world was quiet and still, the house was quiet and still, and the heavenly aroma of slightly cooking onion was through the whole house.
I wished I could have taken a picture of it all to share. One of the best memories of my life. Calm, quiet, and onion scent.

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

I think the bar oil also adds notes of fragrance, but 100% agree with this statement. Smells like most February Saturday morning's with with my Dad 35 years ago.

There were a few years when I could not get enough of diesel exhaust with fresh turned earth.

Wet asphalt and rain, vanilla with cinnamon,  coffee and bacon, the wife's shampoo and her skin

This is an odd one:  Diesal exhaust + fresh corn silage.

As a kid,  I used to enjoy riding along on the farm trucks when they were chopping corn. The intermingling of diesal exhaust from the John Deere combined with the roar of the chopper cutting the corn in the warm autumn air was simply intoxicating.

God, I miss those days.

Om is where the heart is.

Onions, garlic and mushrooms. I don't know what it is about this combo, but it smells soo good.

Rosemary and citrus ... sometimes lemon, sometimes orange.

Holy basil and the green garden smell
fresh quince + honey
saint john's wort blossoms in olive oil

These all make my eyes roll back in my head and sparks everything good inside.

Just under a year ago, I had a friend dying of cancer. She was paralyzed from a tumor around her spine and had long stopped eating. I took a bowl of quince for her bedside table one day to fill her room with the delicious aroma and she died that night.

French fries and suntan lotion, with a whiff of ocean air.

I choose...to be the best me I can be, to be the strongest me I can be, to learn the most I can. I don't know what comes next. But I'm gonna go into it balls to the walls, flames in my hair, and full speed ahead.
