I've been doing this for years as well. A few considerations:

#1 - If you use Vodka, a cheap one will suffice. I look for sales on Smirnoff and use for this purpose. For an interesting twist, consider the flavored versions, but I usually roll with the plane Red label.

#2 - Scrape out the vanilla "caviar" and put into alcohol + the cut beans and let age. Don't touch for AT LEAST 4mos. TRUST ME. The most you should do is shake it once a week for the first 4 and maybe sneak in a few smells. ;)

#3 - You cannot go wrong with adding 2-3 more beans than whatever recipe that you find calls for.

#4 - Have fun, be patient and DO NOT over think this. :)

**I could talk vanilla extract for days, but I'll spare the masses. Haha.

Change is good!! Early impressions from me are good. Looking forward to the evolution.

At the end of the day, CONTENT is king! I think your team does a great job of that and I expect my visits to remain consistent.

Keep it movin'! ;)

Interesting gadget.

My knives NEED this!! ;)

The versatility of the Dutch Oven is pretty incredible. While mentioned in this post as higher quality versions (esp. Le Creuset) being expensive, the idea of having one piece over your lifetime (and beyond for any future recipient) brings the cost into perspective. Certainly, making the purchase during a sale is always a good thing, but keep in mind that a versatile and high quality piece used on a weekly basis will make sense after the high up front cost.

Sweet patterns.

Method makes a great product.

Wow. LIKE.

I know an Amish turkey that would pair very well w/this. :)

Niiiice.
