I never thought of that, but it would make so much sense! Now I want to research whether that's true...

Ha, I'm glad to know I wasn't the only weird kid who enjoyed that smell! Though, I stopped taking whiffs once my parents informed me the fumes kill brain cells :-(
As far as favorite food aromas:
- Sweet potatoes or butternut squash in the oven. (I just roasted some acorn squash this morning and the kitchen smelled amazing.)
- A freshly opened bag of coffee beans.
- Ripe pear.
- My grandmother's baked macaroni and cheese. (I think she uses at least four types of cheese.) Man, I really missed that at Thanksgiving and Christmas this past year - both the food and the smell of the house while it's baking. Hopefully we can gather for the holidays in 2021.
