Smells like August

Ah yes, the wonderful scents of the season have begun to waft their way under anyone's nose that is within smelling range.

That's right. I'm talking about fresh cucumbers, sliced and lightly salt and peppered. There's nothing quite as fresh smelling as that! Cucumber and tomato salads, in a magnificent sour cream based dressing that are just to die for!

And the toasted tomato sandwiches that are sadly missed from October to right about now. They just don't taste the same when you've bought the tomatos from the store. You have them for breakfast, lunch and supper, and while you just can't seem to get enough of them, you also can't have them untoasted. Untoasted tomato sandwiches, well, that just doesn't happen. It gets to the point where the roof of your mouth is so torn up from all the toasted bread that it's absolutely painful to eat another one, but you do it anyway. They're only that fresh for so long!

Corn on the cob, drenched in butter and salt...now that is some kind of wonderful as well. You can have it boiled, you can have it grilled, you just have to have it! And lots and lots of it.

The scent of dill and vinegar permeates everything in the house and it smells like one giant pickling factory. And the secret spice that helps make the best Salsa in the world wafts through the air, making the craving for tortilla chips almost unbearable!

Yes, its August.

And it smells mighty fine!
