    I'll visit farmer's markets in Europe when I don't even have a kitchen in my hotel room. It's just so amazing. Then I'm heartbroken because I can't buy anything

    Who knows, hopefully not cycling and on TE

    I love the smell of bike shops and yes, Knott has a poetic soul

    I like the smell of the dojo, when I first walk in: sweat, bleach, a light dust from the mat if it's been touched up recently, candles, incense .... all mixed.

    Ponderosa pines, think that's the one that smells like vanilla? Talk about tree huggers, they smell wonderful.

    I guess my thing is fruit. I get very excited about opportunities to try exotic stuff like Litchees (fresh) Carambolas, Mangosteins and wild fruits as well.

    I also stalk the farmer's markets in Italy but I DO buy stuff, even if it's just a little bit!!!

    Cutting a perfectly ripe avocado is one of the most beautiful and perfect experiences in the world.

    OMG, yes!!!! Avocados are so lovely!
    I bought an "heirloom" cantaloupe and had some for breakfast today. Same thing, just amazing! Cutting that funky looking rind, and finding that amazing fruit inside... wow!

    My favorite has to be the first dip into a brand new mayonnaise...


    The banana numbering...was it sequential?
    Did she mark the numbers on the peel with a sharpie or something?

    Just a huge ripe beefsteak tomato does it for me.

    I do agree with the peanut butter. It almost seems a shame to stick my knife in there and mess that all up. But I like peanut butter too much.

    How did anyone miss this one? The smell and smoothness of a bar of dark chocolate.

    Truffles--the mushrooms, not the chocolate. I find the smell of a newly cut truffle or just opened jar of truffle oil insanely intoxicating.
