Like Water for Chocolate: Part 1

The book started out in an interesting way (NOT STRANGE). It immediatley started out with the way to prepare and cut onions. It started out in a way I have never read before. I mean in the sense of the writing, not the actual subject of the onions. haha It goes into deatil about how cutting onions can make you cry. The girl tells about how the onions made her great aunt cry because she was extra sensitive to them. Granted I have never cut an onion before, so I have never experienced the water works that the process includes. When it says she sobs from cutting onions I dont think I ever want too!
       The book continues to talk about how the family would make sausage together and how they cooked it. It also talks about the smells that accompanied the sausage. The smell would bring back memories from the past and events that were not even present in the room with her. It reminds of things that I smell that take me back to memories and events that occurred when that smell was lingering around. For example when I smell any scent of vanilla it reminds me of my grandparents house, because whenever we go over there my grandma is always burning a vanilla bean candle. That scent just brings up happy emotions for me even though nothing in the room is causing that other than the scent.On that note I am very excited to see how the book plays out from here!
