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.

Fabulous roundup–and so glad I could be part of it! Everything looks amazingly scrumptious and I can’t wait to try some of these recipes! (Maybe I missed something, but didn’t the event say make “anything” pink? Or did it have to be baked goods? I’m guessing there must be SOME other pink foods out there. . . ?!!). Well, more dessert for me!

Thanks for hosting this! 🙂

The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) program is dedicated to increasing awareness about the importance of the early detection of breast cancer through a nationwide campaign. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. Mammograms are the best method to detect breast cancer early when it is easier to treat and before it is big enough to feel or cause symptoms. Having regular mammograms can lower the risk of dying from breast cancer.
