Okay. Thing one:
Eden: Fig leaf, fig fruit, honeyed almond milk, toasted coconut and sandalwood.
When it goes on, it actually smells like... uh. Lemon Temptations. With cocoanut shavings on top. Nice. A bit 'fake' smelling, in the way that the lemon-goo in a 'lemon' danish is fake-smelling, but not actually unpleasant.
The end of it, when it's dry (which happens pretty quickly) is (yet another) lovely, powder, soft sweet scent... I assume it's the honey-almondness in there. Or maybe the sandalwood (though it's been a while since I've smelled a piece of sandalwood). No idea where the figgy stuff went (alas), but it's nice, if short-lived, little fragrance. :-)
(Boy, that was short, wasn't it. ;-)
Moving On: It's definitely Harvest Time. I was in the A&P today, and they were piling heaps and heaps of squash and potatoes and carrots (Ontario-grown, I mean) all over the place. And they had the giant field pumpkins in, too. and the miniature Jack-Be-Littles that you get in a bag and use to make decorative arrangements with (although you can actually eat them. Not the 'goblins eggs' gourds, but the teeny, tiny pumpkins).
It's amazing, the feeling of well-being that comes over me when I look upon such bounty.
And yes, I know that sounds corny, and yes, it's still true.
So there. :-)
But. There was also cheap chicken -- jumbo packs of chicken-thighs that were on a buy-one-get-one-free special. Score! My freezer is now full of food! :-)
And by food, I don't just mean chicken thighs, in case that's the impression I've given people.
There are also two tupperwares of squash soup (made by me, with frozen garden squash from last year -- I've got about 1.5 cups of last year's squash left, and then it's *gone*, just in time for this year's bunch to come in! :-) in there. Yay! I love soup! :-D
In other, related news: I'm trying out our swell wedding-gift crock-pot today. :-) I've currently got Earthy Root Vegetable soup stewing away down in the kitchen. It should be ready by... mmm... about 10:30pm. ;-)
It's got yukon gold potatoes and carrots and shallots, and green onions, and scipolene (sp) onions, and garlic, and thyme and rosemary, and black pepper, (and chicken boullion, I confess), and green lentils in it. :-D
I had wanted to use chick peas instead, but my last can of chick peas went to making hummous for the day-trip to Kaleidoscope. Oh, well. :-)
Of course, I don't currently have a place to store said Earthy Root Vegetable soup, so I will have to clear out my freezer a bit.
More.
Er.
Maybe I'll pull out those hotdogs tonight. Yes, yes, I know. Terribly healthy and all that. Right. But the buns take up a lot of room that could be filled in with tupperwares. :-\
Anywhoo. I'm off. :-)
