Vanilla

One thing I will miss about living so close to Mexico is the pure Mexican vanilla! It's very inexpensive too. We've never been the ones to actually buy it here, but we're told it's about $3 for a liter. Our friend, Al, goes to Mexico a lot to visit his mom. We asked him to pick some up for us before we move East. Our family has become jealous of our vanilla stash, so we wanted some for them. Well, Al hooked us up with a case, 12 bottles, of vanilla! He refused to take any money for it, but he did request some of my chocolate chip cookies. That's NOT a problem, and I think we'll get him something else to repay the favor. So, now the task begins of deciding who is on our vanilla list :)
