Just found an article on comfort food and how we link certain happy memories with certain foods. https://science.howstuffworks.com/life/food-happiness2.htm
In grade 10, our cafeteria has these home made butter tarts. I would always eat a pair during my 5th period spare as a pick-me-up for the afternoon lull. Lemonade brings me back to plastic cups, a gingham picnic cloth and Sunnyside park. Christmas is coming and this makes me remember making a gingerbread house with my little niece. It took us hours to get all those walls straight and all those candies stuck on. She's all grown up now with her own life... We found old fashioned preserves while from Mennonite Country which makes me think of another time, a place where people appreciated the harvest and preserved it jars for the winter. Sweet Seduction
