Well, here we go.
The big vanilla post.
Is anyone still following along?
Hello?
Anyway,
today I broke out all the stuff for my vanilla-makin'.
It's quite simple, actually.
(I got the method from Laura at Heavenly Homemakers)
A whopping gallon of vodka.
Yes, it's el cheapo vodka.
What can I say, I'm a cheap date.
Then add 80 Bourbon Madagascar vanilla beans.
I love that movie,
Madagascar.
And as it turns out, it's a real place.
Who knew?
I kid.
Moving on...

I just cut the beans up the middle
and threw them into a big glass container.
Which happens to be my sugar canister.
So sorry, shug.
Then I poured in the good stuff.
And just for your information, I don't normally
entertain my children with hard liquor.
Except today.
And now,
the whole concoction sets for a good 4-6 months.
All the while, my sugar is temporarily homeless.
The end of another glorious day.

If you decide to sell it, I will buy some...seriously!!!btw had no idea there was that much vodka in vanilla.
I had no idea about the vodka either. Too funny! Since it takes 5-6 months to ferment, that give you plenty of time to find cute bottles and labels. :)
Too bad it won't be ready for Christmas baking.... Then again, it will make great Chinese New Year gifts.....=)
I love that last shot of the bottles in the trash can. Can't wait to see your first post using your homemade vanilla.
Vodka...in vanilla? Where have I been? :) How cool are you?!?! I so need to try this! Where did you get the vanilla beans?
I'm assuming your scissors must smell yummo...either that or Isiah has a really long nose hair he's trying to get.
I'll take a bottle for Chinese New Year's!
4-6 months? I can't wait that long! I guess I'll get my own vodka. Fine then. LOL
Seriously Lori you CRACK ME UP!! Ha!
So Fun!!! Seriously though 4-6 months!?! Don't know if I am that patient.
Ya know...if you needed to taste the 'marinade'....once and a while...over the next 5 months....it wouldn't hurt...you know...just to 'check' on it....
just saying that's what I would do....

Girl, you are just getting too much time on your hands....I would never dream of making these things from scratch! But I am sure they were yummy!!!
LOL! I am amazed at the fact that there is vodka in vanilla as well. You learn something new every day.
4-6 months!!! I can't believe it takes that long! You totally had my laughing - and I'd probably forget all about the vanilla after several months!
