You step into
a room of aromas:
butter and maple syrup oozing over roasted sweet potatoes,
one hundred garlic cloves sizzling in a Dutch oven full of olive oil,
a sachet of rosemary, sage, and thyme submerging into a rich broth,
pie crust blind baking in the oven,
cinnamon sticks, star anise, and whole cloves infusing a steaming cauldron of red wine.
You brought the most important part of our Samhain feast.
Everyone is happy you're here.
