re: What's the best thing you've ever smelled?

A good cigar paired with whatever meat I have in the smoker at that moment.

Honeysuckle blooming is up there.

Not gonna lie. I remember that first finger sniff more than any other smell that comes to mind.

I remember high mountain air in Switzerland as a kid and also the honeybun plant they would blow across the school bus stop every morning.

Freshly cut fescue

Citrus in bloom, close second was my grandmother baking.

Sweet olive trees at Thomas Boyd.

Phosgene

Just like fresh cut grass

love this smell, but throw in some green peppers with the onions.

Cook the onions and garlic first baw, water content in the peppers makes them steam if not

Caramelize (or close to it) the onions first, then add the peppers. Then when the dish is almost done, you add the garlic at the very end and only cook for 30 seconds to a minute. When you add the garlic to dishes, you want to add it at the end, or after you add the garlic, you want to add some liquid to keep it from burning.
