    Parenthetical asides are like cooking with garlic (or vanilla, or chocolate chips): I’ll add keep adding them until the ghosts of my ancestors tell me I’ve added enough, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.

      YES GARLICCCCC! I add so much garlic to all my cooking but it tastes so good with so many things. And ive always found it weird how little vanilla most people put in their baking to the point you cant taste it at all-

          Theres actually quite a few options to get around the expensive price of vanilla! If you have a costco membership kirkland bulk vanilla is much cheaper per oz then regular stores tiny bottles of vanilla, or you can use imitation vanilla instead (ive heard good things but havent used it myself), or my favorite option is to just make vanilla yourself: it takes a couple months and is expensive upfront but its also cheaper then buying extract + its dead simple (seal vanilla beans and vodka together and wait)

          Sadly Im not making my own vanilla anymore but when I did it tastes the exact same as any store bought version. Plus you can customize the taste (some ppl like to use Bourbon instead of vodka)

              They said cheaper than vanilla extract, the synthetic stuff is probably still cheaper. Though there is a possibility, since the materials and production will have a cost…
