I'm enjoying the scent of orange blossoms as I walk to Trader Joe's to buy another dozen eggs! So? I enjoy that year around. My girlfriend buys that potpourri ****. Besides, it's the same smell as the rotten orange peels in my garbage. Wrong. I suspect you have never smelled real orange blossoms. Well, since I live in Toledo where they grow no oranges, you're probably right. But I've got some hand cream that the label says smells like orange blossoms. But I'll bet you've never smelled real apple blossoms or cherry blossoms. Two sociopaths bonding, how charming. Hey, Huggies, what does a pack of diapers smell like when you open them? I wouldn't know. But I sure you know what a new jar of mayo smells like. What's an old jar of mayo that's been sitting in the sun for days smell like? Tony Packos. Your underwear. |

But I've got some hand cream that the label says smells like orange blossoms. But I'll bet you've never smelled real apple blossoms or cherry blossoms. They grow both around here, but I've never been anywhere when/where they were blooming. Apricot blossoms don't have much smell. We bought the dwarf orange just for the smell of the blossoms, which is fortunate -- the most oranges we ever got: 8. Most years: 0-1. Lagniappe. My neighbor had an apricot tree and my mother made the best apricot preserves. Smuckers makes them almost as good as my mother's. https://www.amazon.com/Smuckers-Pres...s%2C236&sr=8-2 We had a plum tree in our backyard and the blossoms had very little fragrance. But the cherry trees had a wonderous fragrance, and apple blossoms smell like apples, but much more intense. We had two apricot trees when I was a kid. One had small delicious apricots and the other had large relatively tasteless ones which could be pickled (sugar/cinnamon/cloves) like peaches. We also had a Santa Rosa plum tree, which had wonderful-for-eating plums and massive amounts for jam/jelly/preserves. Try the Smuckers Red Plum Jelly. It's one of my favorite jellies. We had a plum tree so we had plenty of plums. A lot of which was used to make plum brandy, (slivovitz.) It's hard to find SR plums in the stores, and the apricots are equally unimpressive. I didn't appreciate this stuff when I was a kid -- it was just the stuff that we always had a lot of because Grandma made it. A couple of years ago we bought a couple of jars of homemade plum jam at an estate sale that the stupid heirs sold for a pittance. I hope their Grandma cut the little assholes out of the will. ------------------------------------------------------------- This signature is now the ultimate power in the Universe Horvath |
