I think that it is amazing how intertwined our senses of smell and taste are. I have definitely had the experience of finding a meal less appealing when I have had a stuffed up nose. Sure, I can still taste the food but without the aroma but it just isn’t the same.
Smell is good for flowers, too, of course. And the smell of rain on a spring afternoon. How about the smell of the ocean when you first get to the beach? Or the smell of fresh mown grass (which is much better when you are not the one doing the mowing).
And then there are those romantic moments. Like the night when Candy and I were spooned together, ready for sleep. I inhaled and sighed as I realized that her hair smelled like… the campfire.
