DIY Friday: Vanilla

During a recent trip to Tagaytay, we stopped for lunch at adorable Sonya's Garden.  Not only was the setting gorgeous, but there was a crafty type shop.  Much to The Shark's chagrin, I cannot keep myself away from stores of the following genre: country, thrift, general, craft, corner, basically anything with a cute sign.  A friend bought a vanilla bean to make her own vanilla, so I did too.  So easy.  Mix 4 oz. (cheap) vodka with a slit open bean.  Store in a dark, cool place (that doesn't really exist here, but anywho) and wait a couple months.  Plentiful, cheap vanilla.
