There's nothing quite as inviting as the smell of some good ol' home sweet home cookin'... especially your favorite meal being prepared! That aroma of well-seasoned soul food being cooked by your significant other who knows his or her way around the kitchen... Doesn't it smell better than any fragrance you've ever worn or whiffed? Doesn't your hunger intensify exponentially as you walk in? Those spices! Oh, those spices! "Something smells delish! Honey, is food ready!?" [your thought bubble] Doesn't your mouth start watering then? You feel the urge to make a beeline for the kitchen To sample a morsel of yummy deliciousness And you're likely to come back... like Oliver Twist wanting... some more? Well, maybe. Submitted for...
