vanilla extract

Canon G7. Iso: 200, Aperture Priority (AV), 1/15s, f/2.8.

A friend of mine who inspires me to eat better, live better, and be creative in the kitchen gifted me some grey goose vodka, vanilla beans, a pretty bottle and some verbal assembly instructions.

A little slicing, stuffing, soaking, and bottling, i’m on my way to making my very own vanilla extract! The bottle is hanging out in the dark for the next few months, but I’ll be sure to report back on the savory results when it’s ready!! Thanks Ellen!!

snow awning

Canon G7. Auto Iso, Auto Exposure. (1/60s, f/2.8, flash fired)

Not sure what this means about our home insulation, but at least I know what the thunderous crash will be when the awning slides off in the middle of the night! For the time being, free shade! (not that we need any!)
