    I’m really good at smelling food and when it’s about to go off. If my nose even picks up a hint of rot that’s all I can smell. It’s really bad right now because our fridge died so everything smells like carcass in the house right now (even though it’s gone).

      Same. I’m about two days ahead of anyone else I know. If it’s even slightly off, I’ll start retching. I’m a cook, so it isn’t actually completely useless.

      we grow a medium pot full of lemon balm every season, and we’ll grab a handful of that, some rosemary, and some mint, throw it in a pot with some water and let it simmer for half an hour for some homemade potpourri. it’s just a coverup, but it’s pleasant.
