Some of you may have read my threads about being in the hospital and recuperating... normally, I cook for myself a few times a week... usually, at leats every two weeks, I buy a whole chicken and bake it. Since before the hospital, at the end of September, I haven't cooked... other than the microwave heating up frozen dinners. My energy levels have been shot to he**. Heck, they still are (I've been sewing and went out to try getting my pulmonary labs done again... not gonna happen... too high of a gag reflex). I got home and crashed.
A few days ago, I bought a whole chicken on my last grocery run... What with a low-key party Saturday night, and other things occupying my mind, I haven't had the chance until today. So, I got home, cleaned the chicken, preheated the oven... then took a quick nap (the timer would probably wake me from a coma, it's so loud). I started smelling baking chicken so I came out of my nap... I have 35 minutes left... and I'm craving that darned chicken so much... it smells REALLY good! I think more so than normal since I haven't had it in so long. the grocery rotisserie chicken isn't the same... I had one of those after I got out of hospital... it tasted weird to me... nothing like baking your own... and that smell.... *drools*
Any food smells (okay, chocolate chip cookies do me in as well) that make you just get so distracted you start anticipating the actual food?
or am I just nuts? Wait, don't answer that.
