As much as I like bacon and fish (sometimes even together!), cooking them is another issue. Recall the poor function of my kitchen vent? Well, it hasn't gotten any better, and the most pleasant solution for redolent cooking odors is a nice scented candle.

But..damn! They are expensive, and they mostly smell like cloying laundry detergent. So what's a cheapskate to do? Make them myself of course!

That's a cheap whiskey glass that came with a bottle of Dalmore about 100 years ago. The other one broke, so I have repurposed it for the extra wax after I made two large candles in old and hazy wine glasses. Yup...that's the progression at Chez Dildo. Wine --> Candle --> garbage!

But wine glasses don't get hazy at the same rate as I burn candles, so I am poking through cupboards looking for appropriate candidates!

The struggle is real!
