It's like the little black dress in the kitchen. It goes with anything. It's for any occasion. And it makes your butt look good. Well, maybe that's a stretch.
I will tell you this though. Vanilla beans last a long time. Three years ago, I bought a jar of the pods in hopes that I would delight New Year's Eve guests with a lovely vanilla champagne punch recipe from Martha Stewart. Or maybe it was the Barefoot Contessa?
However, the jar still resides in my spice cabinet. I do love looking at it. I love the idea of cutting it open, scraping off the fragrant beans, and making some elegant whatever to impress my family and friends. "What? You made this from real vanilla beans? You have impressed me with your elegant display of vanilla beaniness (and sculpted vanilla physique)", they will exclaim!
Simple, elegant, goes with anything vanilla? Yes, please.
You're my favorite bean.
