I have always loved food. I love to cook/bake it and eat it. Sometimes the simplest recipe from my childhood can taste so much better than any elaborate creation I can conjure up in the kitchen. Any type of food that I ate in large quantities for a certain period of time will remind me of that time period if I eat it now. Certain foods will take me to one day or night when circumstances made that item important or meaningful to me.

Most of these things remind me of home. Meals Mom always cooks or cooked for me, and things I used to love to eat when I was a child. Some of them take me to places I've been in my travels. Some take me back to specific occasions, like raspberry coulis and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. When something tastes exactly as it did when I used to have it at home, I am instantly transported there.
