I realize some of these make me look stupid, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I will tell you that the bacon smell stumped the landlord too. He's a builder and was calling his electrician, the plumber, everyone to see if they could think of what the smell could be coming from. Everybody's first question was, "Is she COOKING bacon?". Umm, I'm not THAT stupid. Since we couldn't figure it out he just said to let him know if it got worse. Then he went next door to ask the neighbors about something unrelated and discovered that the smell was from some extremely strong sausage that they were cooking (the laundry rooms and kitchens match up in our duplex).

We gave the landlord a box of bacon for Christmas that year.
