My neighborhood smells like cookie dough
Every night when I take our dog outside for her final outing of the evening, usually around 11:30 pm, the air has a sweet scent. Almost sickeningly sweet.
I think I figured out what the smell is. We have a Peek Freans factory not too far away … maybe a few miles, and they must be cooking up batches of cookies or other PK products at that time of night.
I guess it could be worse … I could be smelling industrial products or something! Luckily it’s just a nice, if somewhat overpowering, sweet cookie dough smell. LOL
Do you live near a factory? If so, do you ever smell whatever they are making?
One good thing about living near a cookie factory is that they have an outlet store. We haven’t gone there for a few years, but when we last went there we bought BAGS of stuff … like enough cookies and chips and other items to last for months! It has amazing prices … 50% or more off cookies and other items. Hmmm maybe we should make another trip to the factory?
When we have gone on a shopping spree at the Peek Freans outlet store we don’t just get stuff for us … we give some of what we’ve bought to friends or family or I used to take some of the cookies to work for the other nurses and doctors to enjoy.
Yum! I wouldn’t mind that smell at all in my neighborhood!! Although then I guess I would need cookies everytime I got back from a walk. Lol I used to live near a paper factory when I lived in Richmond and that was a stinky place!! I wouldn’t recommend anyone to live near where I used to!!
