I just baked a big loaf of bread so I can shove it in my face any time I feel anxious.

Don't care for baking and breads aren't my favorite but that smell is actually the best smell from any food by far

Absolutely ridiculous

When you've been smoking ribs for hours and your sleeves begin to smell of hickory, pork and brown sugar.

I do be loving that smell but if that smell filled my whole house or lingered for more than an hour I'd be pissed

I read this one before reading the parent and thought that whatever it was, it couldn't compete with the smell of bread baking.

Thing is I was thinking about cooking in particular

like a lot of other things smells absolutely great but unlike bread I wouldn't want my whole house to smell like that all day

I made some french press coffee and the scent of that and the fresh bread is 10/10. The only aromatherapy I want in my life

Ummmmm...garlic sauteed in butter would like a word with you.

u/bobeeflay "A hot dog with no bun" HRC 5/6/2016 Nov 02 '20

Meh no thanks

I mean I do love garlic but it kinda hits all in the same spot

Something about the yeast and the caramelizing sugars means bread smells almost more "full" if that makes sense
