You mean this?

... ?? ... how could one have Cabernet Sauvignon without French fries? ...

Lol! People who live in glass houses in Oklahoma aren't very smart.

Funny how those odd smells from childhood never leave you, isn't it? I grew up near a sugar beet processing plant. You'd think something that makes granulated sugar would smell wonderful, but, um, no. It's rather horrid.

@Paladin79 I was wondering what I should do with that second Stjârna input. Seriously, Tom, you're too kind. If it works out I would be overjoyed. And if it does come to fruition, I'll have to ponder what sort of treat you and Finnegan would enjoy in return. I can already think of a few. Hm, that's a Patricia Barber release I haven't heard. Added to the Listen Later pile. I've always been partial to her ambitious Mythologies record. Who'd have imagined that a jazz song cycle based on Ovid would work?

Oooh, Indian food. One of my favorites too. I have tons of spices (they know me by name at my local Penzey's spice shop) and often prepare custom made masalas and will typically make one Indian meal a week. My wife doesn't typically indulge, so I can make it as hot as I like.

@WeepingGuitar Well, I recommend spinning this to help you get through the wait...

Finnegan came in and headed straight for the Amazon package the catnip bananas came in then found the toy. Meanwhile:


I do own the Anticipation record thanks to @Sam6550a.

Then there was the chocolate factory a few blocks from my children's elementary school.

In San Francisco, Ghirardelli Square is now converted to shops and restaurants, but when I was a small kid it was still in full operation as the Ghirardelli chocolate factory. My brother and I could smell the chocolate even a half mile away when we walked to school in the morning.

Right there with you...

The massive, seminal work by Marcel Proust, À la recherche du temps perdu, was prompted by the smell of a madeleine which was cooling on a window-sill.

Also among other things @theeclone sent me was a wonderful bottle of California Cabernet Sauvignon!! My wife and I are saving that for just the right meal.

Paso Robles seems to do those well. Interesting label on that one too

Now, now. No need to be so hard on yourself. You exhibit flashes of intellect on occasion when posting. Or is that just ChatGPT?
