This morning some friends came over and I showed them how to make vanilla extract. I had ordered two pounds of vanilla beans for me and one pound for Joella. Some of the gals made vanilla sugar too. I guess that is something the German people really like.
Joella said that Marius always wanted vanilla sugar and she didn't even know what it was.
Then I showed the ladies how to make lye soap with recycled oil. I hope they enjoyed the time together.
About vanilla beans. I went to walmart and they had a jar with 3 or 4 vanilla beans in it for 8.97. I ordered mine from ebay for 9.99 lb and 5.00 shipping. I got about 160 beans for 15.00. I have enough to make lots of things
I haven't made vanilla yet. My kids are always with me and my husband doesn't want me to go to the liquor store with them. lol I also haven't found a good source for vanilla beans. Didn't think of ebay.
