Rembrances of Things Past... (Skip if you must)
I believe that Marcel Proust in Remembrances of Things Past wrote of the incredible ability of the human mind to remember sights, sounds,texture --- and taste.
I have just had some horse-radish hummous --- on the menu of The South Beach Diet --- which I recommend --- and the memories flooded back. Jews put horse-radish on gefilte fish and it is on the Seder Plate to remember the bitterness when we were slaves unto Pharoh. (Let my pee-pul go... Way down in Moses laaand..)
Fisherman, anglers, a question: Have you ever caught a gefilte ?

SPEAKING OF MARCEL PROUST REMINDS ME OF JUST HOW EFFECTIVELY I HAVE USED A QUOTE OF HIS TO ATTRACT THE OPPOSITE SEX THROUGHOUT MY SINGLE - AND SUBSEQUENTLY 2-TIME DIVORCED - LIFE. PROUST WROTE, 'AN ABSENCE, THE DECLINE OF A DINNER INVITATION, AN UNINTENTIONAL COLDNESS....CAN ACCOMPLISH MORE THAN ALL THE COSMETICS AND BEAUTIFUL GOWNS IN THE WORLD'....TRY IT, I RECOMMEND IT.
