kitchen havoc

 That my entire house smells like a soup kitchen catering to steamed poultry would be a statement most accurate because I made chicken stock and cooked almost a kilo of chicken, both for my recipes and my cats and my house isn't the most welcoming of places right now, especially if a vegetarian walked in.

I have now lit scented candles and sprayed sandalwood linen refreshers and opened all the windows. here's hoping I rid my house of the cooked chicken smell.

say smell

The deal with cooking chicken, which includes all the works that are removing its fat, skin and washing it, drying it, massaging it with marinate and finally cooking it is that the hands smell of chicken and it's a very potent smell in that after a dozen times of getting washed the smell doesn't fade in which case you're left with parlour tricks like scrubbing them with salt or rubbing them with stainless steel soap and so far I've not been successful in getting rid of this smell.
well, the salt scrub did a bit and so did the soap but my fingertips are still reminiscent of poultry.
