Food Fragrances

Thick food smells filled the house today as I prepared my contributions for tomorrow’s luncheon at church.  My projects included the following:

4 quiches: 1.) ham and swiss, 2.) broccoli and cheddar, 3.) caramelized onion and 3-cheese, 4.) spinach, mushroom and feta.

3 desserts: 1.) a sour cream coffeecake with multiple layers of cinnamon-nut streusel, 2.) a blueberry-pecan torte, 3.) a pan of chocolate toffee bars.

2 quinoa salads: 1.) quinoa with oranges, fresh ginger, raisins (and more), 2.) quinoa with cilantro, black olives, cherry tomatoes (and more).

You could almost cut the aromas - cheesy, oniony, sugary, cinnamony - with a knife.  Each breath seemed saturated with food scent.  Yummy and delicious, only in an olfactory sort of way.
