How come when we put laundry outside it smells fresh and wonderful.
But when we put dogs outside they smell like stinky sweaty dog?
****************************************************************
Finally picking stuff from the garden. Mostly I’m blanching and freezing stuff.
Day 1: Cauliflower….
“God, what is that smell? Does someone have gas?”
“I’m blanching cauliflower”
“Well, it stinks.”
“I know.”
Day 2: Cabbage / Stuffed Cabbage….
“Jesus! What is that smell?”
“I’m making stuffed cabbage. The cabbage is from the garden!”
“It stinks….OMG…. The whole house reeks!”
“I know.
Day 3: Broccoli……
“Oh my God, did the dog fart? Damn! What did you feed the dog?”
“I’m blanching broccoli”
“Oh my God it stinks”
“I know”.
((They’ll thank me in the winter.))

I just made broccoli cheese coup today and the kids both came into the kitchen holding their noses. It’s that time of year!

I got the same reaction the other day when I was soaking/sprouting beans. The beans are now cooked and in jars in the freezer. Yum!
