Do you ever smell something that instantly reminds you of a far off place? And I’m not just talking about obvious ones like the smell of sun screen reminding you of the beach. I was running a couple chores on my lunch break today and had the windows down, and suddenly I got the biggest whiff of France all up in my nose. It was a mix of fresh cut grass, the 70 degree temperature, light winds, and another ingredient I can’t put my finger on. I suddenly saw flat fields and windmills in my mind’s eye.

This happens every so often for me, but it amazes me every time. Oh the wonders of the brain. 

HAY GUYZ! I heard it was post a picture of yourself with irrelevant text day!

I made an awesome quinoa casserole type dish on Monday and have been eating it for lunch and dinner most of this week. I have no idea how to say quinoa, so I just kind of trail off when I say it and make it sound like a question. I’m like “keen-waaaaa?” It reminds me of when I order this certain roll of sushi at a certain sushi place, I always pronounce it both ways I think it can be pronounced and then let the waiter correct me, but I never remember the correct way the next time I go in.
