The Aroma and Flavor of Life
They say that popular music of your era is the soundtrack
of life. I agree. I also make the case that some aromas and
flavors bring back memories the same way music can.
I can remember the taste of a bologna sandwich after it was
in a metal lunchbox for a few hours... with a Tasty Cake on
the side. I can taste my Mother's Macaroni or Potato Salad
just by thinking about them. I remember Mom made Breaded
Veal Cutlets which had a great aroma and flavor. I remember
Moms Lentle Soup which tasted great and she would make typically
after we had ham for Easter or Christmas. I remember Mom
telling us we had to eat the Lentle Soup because Jesus ate
Lentle Soup.. but she didnt need the Deity's help as the soup
was delicious. Part of many Holiday Meals right after prayers
was "Oh, Dad made the Gravy". I bet everyone reading this
remembers how their Mom or Dad or Grandma etc created food
that had its Aroma and Flavor which now can be remembered
almost like a song that brings back the feelings of days
long ago:)

Mack: We always come back to food, ok here we go:
My Grandmothers salmon cakes and french fries, her stuffed cabbage, potato salad and slaw. All the Christmas and Easter food Polish style. My mothers mac and cheese and my dad's fried potatoes. The homemade chicken and vegetable soups on a cold winter's night and the list could go on.
I too remember all those foods, My Mom's mac & cheese, stuffed cabbage, veal cutlets, fried pork chops c fried onions, nut rolls, appricot and lecvar rolls. At Easter, taking the basket of Slovish goodies to church for mass blessing.
Mack those caramels with the white centers were Goetze's Vanilla Bulleyes. I just found one in the office candy I purchased.
