One of my students just gifted me a gallon zip lock bag of vanilla beans. It has to be at least a pound.
She said it's from her family's farm in Indonesia.

I'm very glad you're here. Wouldn't be the same without your participation and wit. Thank you for being here for the 7 years I've been around!
Getting ridiculed by you is almost an honor

Holy cow. I would be buying the gallon sized vodka and making scads of vanilla extract.

Great idea!
Thanks
I did it a couple years ago for the family - it was really cool and the extract turned out great (but I used at least double the beans recommended in most recipes I found). I also made some with rum instead of vodka that smelled heavenly. I don't know that it changed anything in the flavor in recipes, but it smelled great in the bottle!
But we love you!Feeling down today. I've been struggling with job happiness lately. My 30th anniversary with this company is next Friday. Today is the 4th quarter all-IT meeting. In the past this meeting has always started with a recognition of employees who have 20+ years of service. It's petty and dumb, but I was really kind of looking forward to seeing that recognition today - and they didn't do it.
Like I said, pretty petty thing to be blue about...but when job satisfaction has been really rough anyway, it's just making me really glum...
That wouldn't be a good gift for me. I hate vanilla. I hate the taste. I hate the smell. Ish.One of my students just gifted me a gallon zip lock bag of vanilla beans. It has to be at least a pound.
