Carol, A friend who is a trained "nose" has an award-winning blog that focuses on olfaction. She writes a lot about anosmia (having no sense of smell) and suggests some foods/odors that are more readily sensed by those with olfactory disorders. She also has recipes and photos that might pique your waning interest in food Here's a link: http://glasspetalsmoke.blogspot.com Type terms (e.g., "anosmia") into search box in upper left.
