When we cook cauliflower, the entire house stinks. Ew.

The kitchen was separated from the formal dining room and living room by a swinging door. However, it was open on the other side to the little kitchen eating area (for immediate family only) and the informal den.<br /><br />Of course, that was when formal living rooms and dining rooms were still part of floorplans, even in smaller homes.
