Lynn- This makes me wish I'm at Kipp's---smelling the deliciousness. I appreciate this visually sensory journey. Hope you're well this week. Cheers, -Thalia

Glad you're back - and yes smell is a powerful activator of memory - there are shampoos I can't use because they remind me of traumatic times in my life... ;) Oh! And Vegetarian Epicure! I still make the German Apple Pancake recipe... :P

You need to keep writing this, Lynn, because it's authentically you. If you need to consciously end a writing subject, then that's a sign you shouldn't. Listen, I thought writing four novels ultimately rooted in my teen years was enough, and put a line under that subject. I finished in 2017. But guess what I'm writing about now? 😂 This is great stuff, compelling reading.

Thank you. This Substack would not exist if you had not encouraged me to start it.

This is wonderful! Ulysses in two weeks, driving at night while listening to great music, vegetarian restaurants with original recipes. The orange grove story reminded me of my own late night journey through a California orange grove in full blossom. The smell was overwhelming, intoxicating. Nothing like it. I have a bottle of distilled orange oil with me here on the computer - but it is not quite up to the experiential level of orange blossoms at midnight in the orchard....
