I got home from a pretty hard and stressful day of work at the candle factory on Thursday evening. When I walked in the basement door off of our garage, I was greeted by my 2 daughters, my wife, and the fantastic smell of whatever it was my wife had baked that afternoon. The air was filled with a hint of cinnamon, nutmeg, something sweet like cream cheese, and something else I couldn’t quite place.
All I know is it was good.
Being the kind of guy who enjoys baked goods more than chocolates and candies, I was kind of excited. I greeted my wife and daughters, then proceeded up the stairs to ditch my work stuff, and of course, take a peek into the kitchen to see if there was any other evidence that goodness had happened in there. I have to say that what I saw was pretty disappointing. There, burning in the middle of the kitchen counter, was a 70 oz. Pumpkin scented jar candle. This 3 wick candle had filled the entire house with the sweet fragrance of pumpkin roll. Bummer…. I was hungry.
