Burnt Toast
Ick. For the past two days my entire house has smelled like extremely burnt toast. Like, not just your average burnt toast, but as if something actually caught on fire, burned for awhile, and was extinguished before it consumed the whole house.
Apparently my new housemate attempted to put some bread in the toaster, and it got stuck, causing it to burn. I don’t know how she didn’t notice the smell, but I can assure you that it is very pervasive.
Two days of airing out the house has minimized the unpleasant odor somewhat, but you can definitely still smell it. Luckily I leave my door closed all the time, so the stench didn’t waft into my room.

There’s a coffee roasting warehouse down the street from us. It took me years to figure out they were the ones making that burnt toast smell, but I find it really comforting now because I associate it with warm, windless days.
