Winter isn’t my favorite season. I don’t ski or skate, and I
detest snowmobiles. I’ve never gone ice fishing, but I suspect I wouldn’t like
it. I hate driving in winter weather and I’m not a fan of shoveling snow. One
of the things I dislike most about this time of year is I’m cooped up in the
house with so many smelly things: dirt laundry, the cat’s litter box, yesterday’s
tuna casserole, a bad onion or potato the bottom of the bin. Frequent cleaning
helps. So does a nice potpourri in the slow cooker. Throw in an orange peel, a
cut-up apple, two cinnamon sticks, a tablespoon of whole cloves, a tablespoon each
of vanilla extract and almond extract and a few cups of water. Cover and set on
low. By the time you’re done cleaning the kitty litter, taking out the trash
and folding the laundry, the whole house will smell wonderful.
