I must say, I have the sweetest husband this world has ever grown, for while many a Filipina I know whose husbands are not Filipino who CANNOT endure and WILL not endure  the cooking of any kind  or form of dried fish that we Filipinos are fond  to eat with our plain white rice and  dip (sawsawan)---my husband (BLESS his heart) will endure the fishy smell as I cook to satisfy my (once in a while) cravings for the (YES!) stinky stuff.

I do appreciate my husband's "giving heart"  and I do try my darnedest to keep the stinkeroos down by opening the windows, turning the ceiling fan on and (above picture)  simultaneously boiling aromatics such as  star anise, five spice and  cinnamon sticks.  I also camouflage the stinkos by baking  chocolate chip cookies and  at the same time replenish the cookie jar.

My pastry sidekick chef helping out (we forgot to incorporate the cranberries in the dough)--ooOps!

Still tastes yumm-O!
