"Dirty Trick" water

Paul curses me and his mother during the Holidays. His mom taught me how to play this Dirty Trick.

"Oh! Smells GREAT!.....{after a long day at work, Paul walks into the kitchen}......Curse you and my mother!! What a dirty trick!"

He thinks I bake! he he he

The Dirty Trick Water Culprits:

water

cinnamon

cloves

ginger

nutmeg

oranges

apples

{any of the above can be used or not used, fresh or dry--except the water, of course, always use the water}

I have a BIG bottle of cinnamon from my mom's cupboard, circa 1994 (I swear!) reserved just for this purpose.

I wasn't baking. I was cutting paper. And stapling instead of gluing.
I like short cuts. And the way these slowly twirl in the air.

My house smells yummy and it's starting to feel a lot like Christmas.
At least inside it is.
