Right now your mom is looking down ob you and giving you a hug and a kiss. Veal Parm is one of my favorite meals of all time. I bet hers was amazing. Kind of feel like you do. Though I can see the usefullness of the idea but I would be picky as hell as to what I would sniff or lick.
When John Waters came out with the movie "Hairspray" people who went to the movie got a big post card with about 8-10 scents on it. "Scratch n Sniff" was a thing back then, thank you Hustler, most of it was chemical smells but it was a cool idea.
Last-first. There was a porn flick years ago, and all I remember is it had Jenna Jameson, and the late Jon Dough in it. If you bought it, you got 2 scratch and sniff cards, and at points in the movie, they would flash a number in the corner of the screen, indicating you should scratch the corresponding number on the card. If you rented it, tough luck, BUT, I knew the guy that owned the video store pretty well, and I rented a lot from him, so he gave me one of the cards. Basically all it really was, was the smell of perfumes, and what was supposed to be pussy, but I remember the last scene was Jenna in a bathtub, and at the end she was doggie in the tub, blowing Jon, and playing with herself, and spreading her butt, and the last scratch was supposed to be her asshole. It really was a waste of time much like the scratch and sniff centerfold Hustler Magazine came out with decades ago.
Now, my mom was 100% Sicilian, her parents came over in 1904 from Palermo Sicily. She learned how to make everything from scratch, because she was from a poor family. Lots of kids, no jobs, the depression, etc.so her mom, whom I never met sadly, would plant a huge garden, and make sauce from tomatoes, and eggplant parm, from fresh picked veggies, and pasta from scratch, which is really easy, just time consuming and a pain in the ass. So I would come home from school, and there would be sticks resting between 2 chairs with home made noodles hanging to dry, and sauce on the stove, that she made from the garden veggies my mom had. I knew it, when I got home, because the garden was just bare. She would always plant tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, a couple banana peppers, which she would stuff. So veil is/was expensive, so I didn't get it often, but because veil cutlets are very thin, she would stack them 3 high, with sauce and cheese between the layers. It was an amazing thing to taste. She would make chicken parm one and a while too, but mostly eggplant parm. When she made that, she wouldn't bread it, like restaurants do. she would just fry the slices in olive oil, and stack it up in a Corning ware dish, with sauce and grated Romano. I'll tell you something, there is nothing as good, as cold eggplant parm, on fresh Italian bread. So I learned to cook from her, but I have never made sauce from fresh tomatoes. When she didn't have those, she used a brand, same I use, called Contadina sauce, puree, and paste. The recipe might be on her somewhere. I posted it for a long lost member, whom we sadly haven't seen in a while named BobjustBob. She was also an amazing baker, and at Christmas would make 14 different kinds of cookies. She started making, then freezing dough in November, and started baking in the first week of December, so they would be fresh.
