hold your nose

I love those Fabreze ads where blindfolded people are in a really stinky environment
filled with dead cats and rotting vegetables. It's the ultimate demo and it's entertaining to watch. High fives being slapped on both sides.
Now this past weekend I decided to make a curry not quite from scratch but almost
and I labored over the pot like a crazy alchemist . The results were amazing: It was a great  meal. My
fingers were bright yellow from the turmeric.My pans were destroyed. And somehow the smell of the curry seemed to be everywhere and it wouldn't go away.A day later the smell was still hanging around. Day 3 the same. Day 5-same again.  Day 6 I bucked and went out to buy a bottle of the magic Febreze. This stuff can fend off monster stench.I know because I have seen what it can do in commercial land.So bottle upon bottle of the stuff is discharged into the atmosphere only to have negligible effects.More bottles and plug in fresheners are deployed. And still the curry cloud hovers above the house.In the end 5 bottles and 2 plug-ins later I can still smell it.
I'm waiting now to see the disclaimer saying we apologize for not being able to deal with curry smells.
I'm hoping that by the time that happens the smell itself will have disappeared.
