About a week and a half ago,
I used a vanilla bean when making some ice cream
(yeah yeah,
when the Bunny's away the carrots will
play or something like that).
I've seen on various television shows that you can dry the
used vanilla bean and place it in sugar for a week or so to make vanilla
sugar.
Hey,
why not?
After I was done with the vanilla bean,
I dried it off and shoved it into a contain of sugar in the spice cabinet.
Only,
I don't think I got it dry enough:
But the sugar smells wonderful.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
