It’s incredible that we’re near the end of the year 2009, with the new year 2010 arriving soon! People are becoming anxious and in a hurry trying to finish all the tasks that urge on these dates.
Now it’s the season where frequently appears the magical turrones or torrones, sweet whine wines or delicious liqueur wines, glorious sweet foods, notable desserts and chocolate…but abundant quantities of premium chocolate delights.
Inevitably we tend to uncork also special wine bottles stored to these extraordinary occasions, not often with good result 
.
Particularly foodies are attracted on this purchasing-frenzy-season to give away the best gifts possible with new kitchen tools and cookware among the traditional gifts.
In South America (and more concretely in my country Uruguay) holidays mean summer coming and big contradictions! Banquets, countless dishes, asados and ice creams, lot of them.. more extra dry and glazed fruits! All these foods are incalculable calories eaten but with the normal sedentary lifestyle, people “remember” to do some workouts or dieting to look suitable for the beach 
I decided to plan a little this holiday shopping season and organize some of the events that will be coming.
Meantime I prepared in a few minutes a quick and dainty appetizer as topping on you want.
* Cream cheese
Chop:
* Ciboulette
* Red pepper
* Green pepper
* Semi sweet pickled cucumber
- Pinch of black pepper and paprika
- Optional chilli and hint of garlic
This snack turned out to be very tempting but I made a “mistake”…I leaned few of the crackers on a table where just was a perfume bottle. The result I ended with a floral – snack!
After this happening I reflected how important the aromas are in daily life.
Do you know that several scientific studios link to good sleeping with charming perfumes? Of course there’s the opposite situation of an inadequate sleeping with unpleasant scents.
The smell is the only human sense you could say that “never” sleeps. So you know, a nice perfume in your room can help your sleeping.
Meantime, I wonder, do you feel eager with the new year 2010 coming? Do you sense that pleasant fragrances can facility sleeping?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

This appetizer is so colorful and delicious looking! I know lavender is supposed to help you sleep and I've seen some room sprays like that too but never used them. I can't believe it's 2010! I feel old!

Cream cheese is always a winner
Yum! This sounds simple but so tasty!
Lavender is a personal favorite – and I love the spicey sharpness if scented geranium. The recipe looks delicious. I love all the wonderful info you provided in this post.
Interesting about the scents and sleep. I do remember Alexis and I were watching a show on Discovery and they said that 4 of the 5 senses go through a processing part of the brain, but smells do not. That might explain why smells are so vital to enjoying food and can evoke memories so strongly.
That is one lovely appetizer.
I love lavender when we sleep. The years are flying up real soon, 2010 is soon to begin.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Gera!
This looks like a yummy and easy snack. I love all combinations of cheese and cucumber. And the smell of cucumber always reminds me of summer, so refreshing! But I hate to smell anything while sleeping. If the smell is so intense, I can't even fall asleep.
And for me, 2010 sounds like a quote from a science fiction movie. I can't believe it's that close.
Is there an aroma that will help me NOT sleep? I've never ever had trouble sleeping…just trouble getting up in the morning!
Looks delicious! and dainty is always in style
Loved the links! And aside from perfume, the crackers and cheese sound tasty!
Yummy crackers! The year really has flown by too fast!
I agree, this got to be worth a try–would be great for an appetizer for any party.
Love the plating btw. So unique and awesome!
it's good. i like cheese very much. And i will try it at my home…..
What a simple, yet delicious appetizer! That is the perfect party food. Doing my best to be in the moment and enjoy the rest of 2009. I haven't thought much about 2010 yet, but i'm sure I will be soon!
Hey, with an appetizer this good, I'd be sleeping soundly for sure.
I love the smells of vanilla and coconut! Smelling like a freshly baked cake at all times is my key to happiness and a good nights sleep
I want a few of those cheese crackers right now…I also keep candles around each room. The soy let off a fragrance even if you do not burn them, so I agree it helps relax you when things smell nice…like after you cook something good and the smell lingers…
I know lavender is supposed to help you sleep and I've seen some room sprays like that too but never used them. I can't believe it's 2010! I feel old.
Let me know what is the similarity between "Cream Cheese and Pleasant Perfumes" these both are different title so why you are add two keyword in same post…Reply plz
I liked the topping it looks yummy but I’m just confused it has too many pepper in it as I can’t have spicy food.

True pleasure involves all of the senses. Sight, sound, smell,and touch should all work together for a most pleasurable experience.

There are different classes of fragrance. There are summer fragrances and winter fragrances. Summer perfume oils and perfumes have a strong citrus background which may be followed up by floral scents. They are light and airy and the citrus notes are not overly sweet or cloying.
Orientals on the other hand are heavier and suitable to fall and winter wear. They tend to be heavier and are sometimes used as base notes in other fragrances.
