Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

In that NYT article, I loved the bit where the foreign diplomats were discussing whether the smell resembled desserts from back home.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I loved the "disagreed, politely," part.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
The NYT article made me crave Peperkoek. Which is at least two weeks ahead of schedule for my annual Peperkoek craving.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
This line from the AP made me laugh:
NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City has many odors, but when the city began to smell a little too good, New Yorkers became alarmed.

Peperkoek
Is that a bread or a cookie? Because my grandma always used to make peparkokr (that's how she spelled it, who knows?- ah. Looks like it is pepparkakor) which was a really thin spice cookie. I've made them and they are a royal pain in the ass (so much rolling!) so I get by on Anna's Ginger Thins.

What I think of as Peperkoek is a cake/bread rather than a cookie. Dark ginger in color, comes in a rectangular log. Sometimes pre-sliced. Spicy and delicious with unsalted butter. In Belgium, there were also "Honeykoek" (I don't know if it's a variation) that came with pearl sugar pressed into the top.
The thin spice cookies are also delicious. I call them "Speculoos", which may be specific to Belgium. I have made them at home, courtesy of the book "Everybody eats well in Belgium".
