There's this air freshener scent I have called Eucalyptus Mint and Rain, it smells soooo fresh and airy and amazing lol. The only reason I'm not using it right now is I'm trying to get through all my old Christmas refills this year.

Well, I've not been in this thread for a while but have had some wonderful 'smelling' experiences!

At the moment, I'm heating up a Bialy - this is like a bagel but usually a little thinner w/ a different texture dough and w/ a LOT of onion added - the brand is shown below along w/ a picture - tonight, just some melted real butter, but can be used just like a bagel - smells GREAT and the taste of onion is marvelous! If you've not experience this tasty treat, then a recommendation! Dave

Switched the air freshener refill to "Vanilla Snowflake," smells so sweet and delicious.

Small world! Wife is virtually cooking the same for me @ the moment (shrimp from the Carolina coast) - the garlic smells wonderful! Already have a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc opened (Ferrari-Carano from Sonoma County, CA) - Dave

Well, I need to correct myself - Susan was indeed cooking shrimp and garlic emerged from the kitchen, but she was making her Gumbo Soup w/ shrimp, rice, tomatoes, okra, and some great spices - pic below.

Now many holidays are celebrated this time of the year and we are in a mixed Christian-Jewish marriage; and Susan collects menorahs to celebrate Hanukkah, so we are on the third night - another pic added of the menorah on the last day from a few years ago. Dave

And with that very interesting design of cutlery you can be sure of a good tight grip when spearing those prawns Love that dish, so much so that I searched a number of seafood gumbo dishes and will definitely try one very soon.
Have a great Christmas, Dave and Susan!

Hi Andrew - Happy Holiday Season to you & family ( and to all others on the forum! )

Susan has two Shrimp Gumbo recipes, a more traditional one (i.e. New Orleans Cajun) which starts w/ the tedious task of making a roux (basically, a flour + a fat, heated and stirred constantly for a long while until a deep brown color is achieved - adds flavor and serves as a thickening agent).

Well, she also has her 'quickie' gumbo recipe which is shown below, for those interested - this does taste different but w/ the scallions, garlic & pepper + the other stuff is delicious - SO, if you're not into making a roux, this is a quite satisfactory substitute - bon appétit - Dave

P.S. Important - scale the recipe - for two, Susan buys about a pound of shrimp.

Thanks Dave, that looks a good one to try. Had to mull over what are scallions, which displays my ignorance in the cooking field. We call them spring onions, or sometimes French shallots for a larger size. Interesting those variations in naming. Chicken broth we call chicken stock and shrimp are usually prawns. But the taste of the finished product will be the same.
