The taste and smell of a local flavor or aroma can be one of the best reminders to bring forth memories of good times past. From Hawaii, we frequently buy Stone Cookies, the smell of Eucalyptus soap from Big Sur takes us back to the coast, the wish for a Key Lime Pie on a Stick keeps our memories of Key West alive and well. Pralines from The Praline Connection in New Orleans are like pralines from nowhere else. The Belgian Hot Chocolate at the El Tovar Dining Room on the rim of the Grand Canyon may be the greatest in the world, but you can’t mail order it, nor can you mail order fresh strawberries from Oxnard, California – yum. While in San Francisco we picked up a sampler of Scharffenberger chocolates to bring our sweet memories rushing back.
