I’m one of those people that things just happen to. I blame my Mom. For starters, she craved Limburger cheese when she was pregnant with me. Not cherry pie or pizza or some other food whose scent makes you smile when it wafts through the air. The scent of Limburger cheese doesn’t waft delightfully through the air.
