I came home and slept from 8pm – 8am, hahaha! It’s been a long time since I did that and now that my baby is sleeping through the night I’m finally able to get some uninterrupted zzzzzzz. Though when you sleep like that you tend to have the wackiest dreams… and I had a dream that my sister was dating Brody Jenner (from the Hills, hahaha!) … apparently my dream told me that Arvil Lavigne dumped him because he was a lazy ass…LOL! (Are they still together? Anyways, I was hoping to post on the SF Decorator Showcase I went to last Friday, but I think I’m going to keep things light today and share that with you next week. :) I’ll be meeting a few friends for happy hour at Chaya later today… it’s not a new place or anything but believe it or not, I’ve never been.

I read Catherine Newman’s post about making homemade vanilla as Christmas gifts and thought, Brilliant! I’m gonna do that this year! So we did. I bought a dozen 4-ounce clear Boston round glass bottles and 20 organic Tahitian vanilla beans (I actually received 23 beans). Troy went to BevMo and picked up a couple of liters of vodka.

For each bottle of vanilla, you’ll need 2-3 beans and 1/2 cup of vodka. First, we used the scissors to cut each vanilla bean in half lengthwise and then again crosswise.
We stuffed all the bean pieces into the bottles, seven or eight pieces per bottle. We got vanilla-bean flecks and sticky juice on our fingers, but it washed off easily and as a bonus made our hands smell yummy. Lather. Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos.
