I just knocked my bottle of organic Madagascan vanilla on the floor :(

plus side: nicer to clean up than dog pee.

Funny you posted this, I heard an ad on the radio the other day for something or other that was made using 'real Madagascan vanilla' and I was wondering wtf.

So there is such a thing.

Where tf did you think vanilla comes from, Xbox??

Did you think it was make-believe? Put in cakes by fairies? Along with the cinammon troll...

The cinnamon troll? That explains a lot. I thought it was just the nutmeg gnome.

Just beware the Sprinkle Elf.

Oooh hark at you.

It wasn't the vanilla part I was questioning, it was it's Madagascan traits.

Jo said...

True. Nothing wrong with the good Leitrim vanilla you were rared on.

Martin said...

I'm gonna shock you Jo, take a seat and a deep breath.

It comes from many places.

We can't all be reared on the finest.

Jo said...

Sure, I was reared on Goodall's vanilla flavoured essence just like everyone else was.

But I don't think there's any big deal about buying it from a place it comes from. Anywhere hot and vanilla producing is exotic.

Does the 10-second rule apply to vanilla?

Jo said...

I firmly believe that, md.

Tinman... if you can work out how to separate it from the broken glass and get it off the floor in uner 10 seconds, I salute you. But I'm afraid the answer's no...

Also, it's a 5 second rule in our house, you germy filthers.

Jo, after your kind words to me on Tinman's blog I had to check out your blog. Thanks again.

Hi Rose :)

It's a little messy in here at the moment! Back to normal soon enough... work work work.
