So, for dinner, I am having Macaroni and meatballs, with Sriracha Chili Sauce. So, I must say, even though this is very simple, easy to make, and not very challenging or amazing, it's the simplicity that makes it so good. Comfort food is what you would call it, one of those foods you had throughout childhood, and have slightly changed to suit your tastes as you age.. The human brain is an amazing thing, the way we perceive food, it's been found that smell and taste have the strongest link to memories. I believe this is due to the fact that the amygdala controls memory, and sits right next to the smell center of the brain, that's why smell is the strongest memory inducing sense.. So, whether it's a very complex 3-course dinner, or something as simple as a home cooked meal, nothing comes close to beating memories of good food, and good times associated with the people that cook it.
