Alright, look. Sometimes, not always, just every now and then, I see a recipe and I think “oh, that will smell amazing.” And then I make the recipe.
Not because I’m hungry, not because it’s dinner time, not because I have guests coming over who might appreciate delicious baked goods. No. I make recipes because they will probably make my house smell like Fall blew up in it.
Why, yes. I do know that they sell candles for just this reason. In fact, I even own some of those candles!
Real food just smells more, you know, real. Besides, even if I’m not hungry when I start mixing up the ingredients, by the time the smells start kicking in, you know my tummy will be grumbling.
In conclusion, I am not weird, Fall smells amazing, candles are over-rated, and you should go bake some of this bread.
The end.

The bread looks amazing, and you can’t eat a candle, so I vote for filling your house with delicious aromas from the real deal.
