Isn't "après-midi" masculine, and if so should it not be:

cet après-midi sera consacré

There is a sentence in the text:
" les odeurs de cannelle et d'épices évoquent des souvenirs d'enfance"

I seem to get this wrong quite often - why is there no article after de in all of these cases (de cannelle, d'epices and d'enfance).

Thank you!

Can I say "en profiter le plus" for "make the most of it", instead of "en profiter au maximum"?

This subject should be presented as a factual event, not as an opinion piece.

Pourquoi pas, "qui ne nous effraie/effraye pas du tout" ?

I know I've covered this at sometime but can't remember why we add ez on words that don't have vous in front of it.  Please remind me.
