Potatoes boiling in milk with black pepper, nutmeg, and bay from my mother's tree; the burnt-dust smell you get off Kenwood mixer motors; yeast beginning to do its thing in the bread; and Dundee cake finishing up in the oven.

I also got to experience the glorious continuity of blanching almonds (almonds, bowl, hot water, wait; pick, squeeze, slip), which ties me to my mother and my grandmother and so on back.
