cinnamon scented starter and chocolatey perfumed bread

Sometimes as I page thru the site, I often smell bread baking or during a bake smell other baked goods.  

A memory trigger of cinnamon toast or caramel rolls can often pop up without cinnamon actually being there.  I know I'm not the only one that drools over baked goodies on the computer.  Cinnamon is especially tied to childhood memories and comfort food and baking.  Mention chocolate and cherries in the same sentence and I can smell black forest cake complete with chocolate butter frosting.  Aromas are also complicated and often a blend.  (I sure wish my dirty laundry smelled like cinnamon or brownies.)  If one of the components exists, the mind can fill in the memory gaps to create a complete "picture."  I do once in a while check my cupboard to see if any tops are loose or some extract is tipped over.  Eat a piece of cinnamon toast and then see if the starter still smells of cinnamon.  

Maybe your body is craving the trace minerals found in cinnamon or chocolate so give yourself a good dose.  I can legitimize that.  Go for it.  My mother always found my cravings interesting, she would look the food up and actually find out I needed some odd vitamin or mineral.  Especially if I was recovering from a cold or something.  

Or there might be a scented candle, hand soap nearby or scented oil.   I even notice my washing up soap scent tends to change with the seasons.

Normal?  Sure it's normal, enjoy!

What is the starter made of ?
