Picture the house you grew up in. Or, any house where you have lived.
Walk into the kitchen. See the table and chairs, the counter, the cupboards.
Open a cupboard door. . . or walk into a pantry.
Take a deep breath. Notice the smells.
Open the spice cabinet. Inhale and . . . what are those many and mysterious smells?
What food reminds you of the kitchen in the house where you grew up? Memories surrounding that food?
OR: What nourishes you?
Or: I grew up with . . .
