My kitchen had a funny odor, not like funny hahaha, but strange, kind of like food gone bad.  The kitchen compost bucket is emptied daily down at the side of the garden.  It's rinsed, sometimes with vinegar, and left in the sun to dry.  I checked all the containers in the refrigerator and wiped the shelves with baking soda and water.  The odor didn't reek of dead rodent, just kind of brought to mind old fish.  I had made salmon patties a few evenings ago for our supper, told Cliff I'd freeze the left overs for another meal, but thought maybe the smell still lingered somehow. 

When my sweet tooth acts up, I snack on dried figs and Medjool dates. They're a sweet healthy gluten-free food, and part of the Mediterranean diet.  The fig package resembles a large hockey puck.  I store them in a quart-size zip-lock bag in the corner kitchen cabinet.  This morning I reached in the cabinet and pulled out a quart-size bag to satisfy my craving for sweets. The bag contained what looked like a large hockey puck but smelled like old salmon cakes! Oooops!!!

Don't tell my children!!
