Sigh.... So I have to buy some.... I am at the grocery store, walking down the aisle where all the beer and alcohol is. In my mind I am thinking, please don't let me see anyone I know!!! This is silly I know. but I don't drink, I know nothing about vodka or rum. I finally find the vodka. there is a man looking also. He asks me, "what are you looking for hon? I reply the cheapest Vodka! So he helps me find what I need. then he starts sharing with me about screwdrivers, and other drinks you can make with Vodka. My eyes start glazing over. I just want to buy it and leave as quickly as possible! I tell him, I am going to make vanilla. Vanilla? as in cookies? Yes, Vanilla extract that would be used in cookies. I tell him thank you and continue shopping. I covered up the vodka with groceries.....
I see this man again several isles later. he asks Vanilla extract? made with Vodka? Yes, told him how to make it. He just shakes his head, muttering What a waste......
It was on sale. I brought home. made my vanilla!
I cut of the ends of the vanilla beans to hurry up the process. My hands smell like vanilla. My home smells like vanilla.
I did have to explain why there was a bottle of vodka on the counter!
hugs.....
