air freshener
We sometimes use our oven for heating up the cold house. Just turn it on to 350deg for an hour or so. I’ve sometimes tossed in a couple of cinnamon sticks as a kind of air freshener. Today, being unable to find the large jar of cinnamon sticks, I grabbed a few star anise sitting out on the counter and the smell is just wonderful! Can’t wait to try cardamom, my favorite spice..
For cheap whole spices, check out your local Indian or Armenian grocery store.
