Good afternoon TCS! A question about smells today.
What smell(s) instantly remind(s) you of "home"?
The smells that take me "home" are seldom present in my parents' home: incense and Jasmine rice. But they have a very homey feeling because I grew up getting together with my extended family every month or two to visit family members' graves (we always light incense when we visit), and my grandparents' house always smelled like Jasmine rice. It's the only rice I'll use now. I also love the smell of vinegar evaporating off smooth ceramic tile in fresh spring air on a day when the windows are open (at my parents' house). The visuals in my head are like a fabric softener commercial. Such a fresh smell!

Remember, "home isn't a place, it's a feeling".
