The Taste and Smell of a Memory

As an adult, there are many times when I will catch a whiff of a specific combination of smells and I am transported back to memorable times as a child.

More recently the memories that drift on the breeze as it eddies through my window are thoughts of one of our favorite vacation destinations. I almost don't have to say it, but it is Walt Disney World.

Knowing of my love for WDW then it will come as no surprise that when I was invited to sample Ghirardelli's new Milk & Truffle Squares, my first thought was of Disney.

Why you ask?

Because Walt Disney World has it's own distinctive smells that conjure up special Disney memories.  Opening the bag of Ghirardelli Milk & Truffle squares, I closed my eyes and just had a nice long smell of the sweet aroma coming from the bag. 

Instantly I was transported to Downtown Disney in Orlando, FL standing outside the doors of the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop.  There is a welcoming cast member standing just inside the entrance with a basket of chocolate squares neatly cut open.  The invitation is extended, "Please try one of our new Milk & Truffle squares."

Hmmmm.....exquisite!
