That's how I knew I was pregnant, loved drinking it. I'll be worried if ever I hanker for a cup these days.

Oh and the smell of coffee- divine. <br />Yes, I'm with you Mae regarding blogs that flog products.

And my favorite kitchen appliances are a cutting board and a couple of almighty knives. Oh and the very versatile Y peeler. I do own an ancient microwave and a cheapo rice cooker and I use them a lot but I never bother with graters, and blenders etc just baffle me. 19th century most of the way suits me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170701847096189707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-64595788167594307932017-12-04T15:11:22.426-05:002017-12-04T15:11:22.426-05:00I LOVE the smell (and taste) of mint but I don'...I LOVE the smell (and taste) of mint but I don't eat those mints you have pictured there.

And many smells have the power to invoke powerful memories of home, family, holidays, friendship and love. <br /><br />I'm not an instant pot fan either, preferring my slow cooker, and like you, tend to avoid blogs that are more about selling jamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859083373087448194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-64107864446338614742017-12-02T11:35:44.300-05:002017-12-02T11:35:44.300-05:00The sense of smell is indeed a wonderful gift, and...The sense of smell is indeed a wonderful gift, and so important to cooks.

One of the things about having a funky nose is that sometimes I can't smell much at all and I hate that because the kitchen is the best place for it!
