Coaching Cooking

I’m home sick today…I spend my weekdays around hundreds of high school students so it was bound to happen some day.

This reference will date me (for sure), but there’s a scene in “Clueless” where Cher bakes cookies by dumping a log of cookie dough into her oven because she says the smell entices teenage boys.

Well, I think this homey smell trick works on just about anyone. Since I couldn’t really cook anything in good conscience (and I’m dizzy from the cold), I decided to try a frozen apple pie that I bought through the Gizdich Farms fundraiser at the school where I work. Man, does the apartment smell good right now. That baking apple pie smell should be bottled and sold although I think it just doesn’t get any better than a real apple pie baking in your kitchen.

Now I just need my health back…plus a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a tall glass of cold milk.
