Being a very smell-conscious (I was just about to say 'smelly' because noise = noisy) person, to me, the first thing that makes a home smell homely is the smell of aromatic good food coming from the kitchen. Maybe it reminds me of my days as a kid, coming home from school, entering the home after playing whatever game it was that I was playing after school hours, hungry as hell!
The smell of my mom's cooking is DA BEST!! Ever! Maybe that is why I have a fixation of smelling the house out. And let me tell you this - I love my home best when there is something cooking in the kitchen.
Hhhhmmm....can you smell the beef patties cooking in the oven? Gosh, it smells like heaven. :-)
And you must be asking why am I not grilling the patties?
Well, generally speaking, I am a bit of a Nazi when it comes to the food department and if I can save on using too much oil, I will. So, instead of letting the patties swim in oil, I would rather bear with the slightly drier texture than drink oil as I sink my teeth into them.
And besides, the smell last longer when it comes from the oven...for some reason. :-))))
