Monday Musing

It's been a while since I've had a free moment on a Monday to post. Last night's effort was surprisingly well received. Everyone seemed to agree that the taste was amazing and that it would be great warmed up with vanilla ice cream. It was also agreed that it looked terrible. I think if I were to make it again, and I think I will closer to Christmas, I would make it as a cookie bar.

In other news, the vanilla extract is coming along nicely but it is going to be at least a few more weeks before it is extract. I am also considering adding a few more vanilla beans as it appears the extract has plateaued and hasn't grown much darker or more aromatic lately. Also, I think using the cheapest booze I could find was a mistake, it smells like vanilla scented rubbing alcohol.
