The Spice of Life
Monday, November 14, 2005
My old gal pal Lora (Happy Birthday to you) filled me in on a great spice shop in town called Savory. They grind all their spices there weekly. I stocked up on all the stuff I'll need for Thanksgiving, plus some Madagascar vanilla, and 3 vanilla beans. I have wanted to cook with fresh vanilla for awhile, but never have. Now I have to find a recipe to use it. I might need to turn to Michelle for a little help.

Let's try this again. It seemed to have cut off my url on my first port. I'll try to link! This was sooo good!
Rice Pudding with Vanilla Bean, Orange and Rum. I made it last year for dessrt on Christmas Eve! I totally recommend it!
That looks amazing. Have you ever been able to read a recipe and you can already know what it's going to taste like? I can't wait.
Totally. This pudding had a "dreamsicle" quality to it that was just perfect!
Another thing to do is after you split open the vanilla bean and scrape out all the good stuff, throw the empty vanilla bean pod into a ziplock baggie with some sugar and make vanilla sugar.
The sugar crystals will absorb the vanilla-goodness from the empty pod. Then just use the vanilla sugar in....anything! For baking, in drinks, anywhere you'd use regular sugar. Mmm!
