In the blink of an eye we’ve gone from “too hot to open the
windows” to “too cold to open the windows.” Suddenly I’m noticing everything I
dislike about the way my house smells. I’ve cleaned the kitty litter box, but
you can still smell it. I’ve done the laundry and emptied the kitchen garbage
to no avail. The lovely steamed broccoli and salmon cakes we had for dinner are
still hanging in the air, and I’ve had it. It’s time for a pumpkin spice
scented candle, or maybe for:
Simmering Autumn Potpourri
3 to 4 cinnamon sticks
4 whole bay leaves
3 to 4 tablespoons whole cloves
1 orange, sliced in rounds
1 lemon, sliced in rounds
4 cups of water
Dump all ingredients into slow cooker. If you’re feeling
particularly bold, add a chopped apple, a handful of fresh or frozen cranberries,
and star anise. Cover and cook on low until your whole house smells wonderful.
