The Scent of Vanilla

Cooking with garlic and oil Chopping peppers and chives Crinkling aluminum foil Running water over dirtied knives Cutting boards strawberry stained Slicing apples and poaching pears Steamy facials from pasta drained Sizzling pops like lightning flares Piping a French buttercream rosette Cracking eggs with no loose shell Waiting for lime jello to set But nothing beats the most delicious smell The scent of vanilla
