This week’s questions have to do with fruit, veggies, and, um, smells.
#1. Fruits and veggies. Do you prefer them peeled or not?
#2. What’s your favorite fresh fruit or vegetable smell?
#3. What’s the worst food smell you’ve ever smelled?
#4. Share the recipe for the dish that you love to smell cooking in your oven.
#1. Hmm, depends. I peel potatoes, but not carrots or cucumbers. Of course I peel oranges, but not apples or stone fruits like plums or nectarines.
#2. My favorite fruit smell is a perfectly ripe, sweet nectarine. Makes my mouth water!
#3. Worst food smell? When you find a sippy cup that had chocolate milk in it, then your toddler threw it behind the couch, and you find it a week later, and you open the top to wash it out? THAT is the worst smell EVER.
#4. I love the smell of chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven! I use the recipe on the Nestle Toll House Mini Morsels package:
# 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
# 1 teaspoon baking soda
# 1 teaspoon salt
# 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
# 3/4 cup granulated sugar
# 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
# 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
# 2 large eggs
# 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Morsels
PREHEAT oven to 375° F.
COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

YUCK! Week-old milk! Just the other day, we were visiting the church where we’re having our wedding later this year, and we stepped into one of the side rooms where the teenagers have their meetings…someone had left a mug of who-knows-what on a table, and it was completely FILLED with mold. I do not envy the person who ended up having to wash that out.
Yumm, cookies!
Thanks for playing FFOF!
Stumbled.

[...] Elizabeth shared a recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies and loves the smell of nectarines. [...]
Shame I don’t have time to bake much any more. My kids loved choc chip cookies so we make do with Famous Amos these days.
Sad to say, I peel carrot, apple and even grapes, eventhough I am aware that the skin benefits more! I love fruits and vegetables, but not any skin texture. Well, I have ways to make it up from other nutrition sources. Do stop by my site! :)

I love the smell of Pineapple (and I love eating them even more).
#1: Peeled
#2: Ripe mango
#3: Ooh, I second the rotten sippy cup. I have heard Durian, but I can’t confirm.
#4: Rumaki – marinated chicken livers, water chestnuts and bacon.
