So, I feel like I kind of have writer’s block today, so I will divulge something to you that I WON’T admit to my husband. He traveled home very early from a trip to Dallas for work and probably didn’t take a shower since he had a 6 a.m. flight and then we spent the entire day with my family for my mother “The Birthday Diva’s” celebration and now we are home piled three deep on the couch and there is a smell coming from one of us. I did “breath check” with both of them and myself and that all checked out just fine, but in a super sleuth effort to find the culprit of the stench, I discovered that it’s ME!!!!!!!!!! I wore my booties without socks and my feet smell!!! I told him, because believe it or not he can’t smell bad smells (due to some freak nasal issue, which has worked to my advantage for many years), that HE is the one that kind of smells…..I own most things, but tonight due to my writer’s block, I will not be the proud owner of smelly feet….What is not smelly, well, maybe smelly, but not in a smelly feet kind of way is this tasty olive oil!!!
Ingredients
- 1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4-5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 cups good extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a saucepan over low heat, simmer olive oil, lemon, rosemary and thyme for 2 hours. Strain out the solids into a glass airtight jar. Use for cooking oil or add black pepper and salt and use as a dipping oil.
