There is no logic here
Published by Shana | Filed under Food
Amazon sent me enough vanilla beans and bottles to make a lifetime supply of vanilla extract. This is despite us already having at least a year’s supply of good stuff.
There is no logic here. Rationalization and self-delusion, sure, but absolutely no logic.
Who doesn't need a quart of vanilla?
Vanilla beans are one of those weird ingredients where you see 3 beans for $8 in a store, but can get 50 beans for $20, so perhaps they are the perfect specimen for backward logic projects.
There are 7.7 million tutorial on how to make vanilla extract, but in short – 3 beans per cup of vodka. Cut beans in half. Add vodka. Put both in jar for two months, shaking every once in a while.
I have about a month left before my quart of is ready. Send recipes.

I love how you so innocently call this “vanilla extract.” I call it a cocktail.

Oh, I have that in the works too. Specifically, orangecello.
