My intent was to bake some cookies today. Josiah's birthday is Sunday, and we thought it would be fun to take Snickerdoodles to share with his Sunday School class. I made the dough, preheated the oven, and proceeded to roll them in cinnamon and sugar. Momentarily interrupted by some event requiring "mommy attention", I went outside. By the time I returned to the kitchen there was an eerie smoke in the air... filling the whole house with its haze. I groaned as I remembered the drippings on the bottom of the oven from the potpie that I had baked last night. Aaarrgh.
Nothing is more disappointing than a stinky house- especially after baking.
I turned off the oven, and scrubbed and scrubbed with baking soda. Not perfect- but most of it cleaned up of the oven floor.
Even now, hours after the clean up and cookies are baked the smoke smell lingers. I smell like smoke. When I open the cupboards I can smell smoke.
Now what else can I bake to make that smell go away...

So I know it's been a few days & the smell of smoke has probably dissipated ... but I found on the 'net, that if you leave a bowl of vinegar on the counter, it will absorb the smell of the smoke.
