I smell Thursday

Friday, October 10, 2008

For smelly Thursday, I had a really hard time not going super literal. The first things that comes to mind when you think of the sense of scent are flowers and food. I went with it because my creative juices are apparently spent tonight.

This is Nate’s boutonniere from the wedding on Saturday. I love orchids and this one is beautiful. It almost looks fake, but it’s not.

Funny story about when I met hubby… I actually didn’t know how to cook. There are many things I had never tasted let alone cooked (including avocado, lobster, mussels, squash, beets the list really goes on and on). Garlic is not something I ever learned to cook with until I met him. He uses it in everything and now I do too. In fact, we usually double the amount in a recipe because we love it so much.

I’m so glad that you liked these! We really did, too. That’s good to know that cooking on low for 10 hours worked well… I was worried they’d dry out.

yay!

We also used bacon which I think helped with the moisture. They were SO GOOD. We might be making them again this weekend!

Funny – my mom ate baked beans cold, too! On buttered bread. She was born in 35, maybe it’s a generational thing?

I made these when I saw them in your archives. I am a big fan of the Year of Crockpotting, but had somehow missed this one. YUM! It was sooooo good!
