  ALL ABOUT ROOM DEODORIZERS
  
  Over the years we have discovered many ways to give the illusion that
  some serious cooking was happening when we really hadn't done
  anything but put something in the oven from a previous time. The old
  put-a-piece-
  of-bread-in-the-oven-when-you're-trying-to-sell-your-house tip is
  good, but it's not very sophisticated.
  
  AROMA ONLY: On a day when you're really going to be cooking, don't
  throw away all of the stuff you usually do. Instead, save things like
  the fat trimmed off any meat, chicken skin and bones, onion skins and
  ends, garlic skins and ends, carrot and potato peelings, celery
  stups, etc. Freeze them in a reclosable freezer bag. To use on those
  days when you will need to create the illusion of a pending meal by
  aroma, follow one of our two recipes for FALSE LABOR IN THE KITCHEN.
  
  AROMA ONLY (MAIN DISH): This will smell so good you might almost
  forget it's a trick! Do not be tempted to open the foil; you'll
  embarrass yourself.
  
  1. In a mug, make paste with Bisquick and water. 2. Place garbage in
  centre of large piece of aluminium foil. Pour paste over garbage.
  Wrap and poke about 6 holes in the top of foil. 3. Bake in a
  300-degree (150C) oven until the aroma starts to waft. Reduce heat to
  250 (120C) and waft for 4 hours. 4. Discard after the scam is over.
  TIP: By adding various spices, you can make the house smell like
  Mexico, Italy, China, Germany, or wherever you'd like to go.
  
  AROMA ONLY (DESSERT): In order to counterfeit the smell of dessert,
  there are a few changes that need to be made to Aroma Only (Main
  Dish).
  
  1. Use fruit peelings of any kind: orange, apple, pineapple, pear, or
  others instead of the vegetable and meat trimmings. 2. Add to the
  paste 1 teaspoon each cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar.
