I was preparing food for my neighbors to come over and had worked my way to the baked beans when the strangest thing happened. I had added some brown sugar, cayenne pepper, mustard and some paprika to the beans and was in the process of adding some ancho chilli powder when I spilled some ancho chilli powder dust on the low burner. I then stirred the concoction and the mixture of aromas hit me and I instantly smelled a burning RASS!! Now yes, I've had a couple bourbons but I'm not drunk, but I swear to the Almighty I smelled a RASS. I took the pot of beans off the burner and smelled them independently and then smelled the burning chilli powder on the burner independently and neither, by themselves, gave me the same aroma. But the combination of the beans and burning spice gave me an unmistakable sensation. I stood over the burner inhaling and emitted an aubible sigh and my wife asked if I needed to be alone. I couldn't help myself, it was simply beautiful. Anyway, I just thought this was something to share. I'll probably never be able to duplicate this again, but at least once I can say I recreated a RASS here in Iowa.
