Corner Booth: Oooh, That Smell

Last night Kelly whipped up one of our favorite quick meals: Sausages sizzled with onions and bell peppers. Yummm. It’s pizza without the dough! Shish kebab without the stick!

After dinner, the whole house naturally reeked of sauteed onions a la peeg snout.

Big Daddy to the rescue. I went all around the house, spraying clouds of “all natural” lemon air freshener in every room.

The following conversation ensued:

Her (sniffing): Oh, yeah. That’s much better.

Me: Doesn’t smell like sausage and onions anymore!

Her (coughing): What?

Me: Now it smells like sausage and onions fried in–

Her:  –Lemon Pledge.

Tips appreciated: Aw, keep your tidbits. Who (cough) needs ’em? E-mail to steveb.anewscafe@gmail.com.
