I had one scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream today from this very fancy ice-cream store, and it tasted like mint and cream, like the mint that grew in the yard outside the house I lived in on Long Island when I was a really little girl. I can't smell mint like that and not be plunged back to hiding in boxwood hedges, the only sound a muffled cry from some playmate wondering where I am.
Your foot in that shoe is a confection too.
ReplyDeleteYum.

ReplyDeleteTaste and smell can both plunge us back into the past, can't they? Shades of Proust!
ReplyDeleteReally well made things are always worth the money and the hype.
ReplyDeleteIce cream sends me in to a reverie too. I hope we get to share some in person some day soon. Til then, I will go have a scoop in your honor. xooxox S
ReplyDeleteYour short reflections like this one are like perfect jewels catching the light.
