...when you're out driving through town, through the back-country roads, or just sitting at a red-light; and it hits you, that delicious home-cooked BBQ aroma floating through the air? It's one of my favorite smells. I was driving through town the other day with my windows down (the temperature was nice), and I wasn't in the "best" mood. All of a sudden, a wave of smoked wood and meat rolled through my windows and I just smiled. It's those little things I like to enjoy. I've always enjoyed cooking outdoors and I love when neighbors are cooking and they are basically making the town smell better, as if they have a large Febreeze BBQ bottle and are spraying everything. It's uplifting, I don't know why, but it just is. It's amazing how smell can affect our mood. Perfume makes men happy, cologne makes women happy, flowers make most people happy, and cooking fresh meat makes me really happy.
Perhaps it's because I usually know I'm about to enjoy a savory meal. One thing's for certain...I cannot live without BBQ.
