Drowning in Vanilla
So my friend Mallory just placed an order for 1/4 lb of vanilla beans from this reputable online store. She offered to split them with me but neither of us know how much 1/4 lb is in vanilla beans. We found one site that says it may be as much as 36 vanilla beans. Holy shit. I think I've died and gone to heaven. More to come when we get the vanilla beans in. Oh, and did I mention it cost less than 8 bucks for the 1/4 lb?

what website was this?!!?!?!?! details! asap!
ReplyDeletealso, coming back to boston from break, i brought with me two vanilla beans that we'd gotten in atlanta. attempted jackie kennedy's creme brulee last night, which cooks on a double boiler rather than in the oven in a water bath. should've just done it my way in the oven but i actually followed the recipe, and it didn't set at all in the fridge. BUT, i will have a great creme anglaise to serve with some cake that i will make this weekend!
ReplyDeletespeaking of which, have any good spice cake recipes (or any other cake that'd go well w/ a damn good vanilla bean creme anglaise?)
