Tip #4: Homemade Incense.

For those times when you need to cook and don't want to smell whatever's lingering in the air while you do it...

In a small saucepan, combine whatever's left over in the pot from this morning's coffee, a tablespoon of vanilla, a generous shaking of ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg (don't waste the good fresh-grated stuff, it's just for aromatics), ground cloves, and a teaspoon of cocoa powder. Whisk thoroughly, and let it bubble away on medium heat.

It will smell like all your hopes and dreams come true, a child's laughter, kitten kisses, and
laundry fresh from the drier.
