ANOSMIA
Adam's Diary 2009.2.1
A woman in her 20's walks into a restaurant serving Korean bbq dishes.
"Hello, I am going door-to-door exchanging recipes in the neighborhood"
"Oh?"
"Yes, I would like to trade you my recipe of lavender infused beef brisket for your kimchi recipe."
"Oh! Our kimchi is the best! It tastes like it was made from a cabbage grown in heaven."
"I…yes…I am sure it does…ummm….I suffer from anosmia…or I lack the sense of smell…I can't really taste anything…I think your kimchi is very beautiful to look at on a cold winter night…it reminds me of my childhood and ice fishing…when I was sadder…or was I happier then…I can't recall…you see my memory and emotions are sort of messed up too, because smells go directly to our limbic systems in our brains, or the part that handles memories and triggers emotions. As opposed to sight and sound which goes through the hypothalamus and then the cortex which controls primal desires like hunger…."
"Umm, could you excuse me, I have to prepare the bbq for the customers."
"Oh okay. I'll come back tomorrow."
"Um."
