Temps low26F, high41F. Sunny day , snuck outside did some pasture runs cleared out brush and low hanging branches, working on building a fence using tree trimmings to keep the deer back around the perimeter of the woods next door.

I make three different flavors of vanilla. Madagascar ( the one in the the stores mostly), Tahitian and Mexican. Use different ones for different recipes. I use a vodka base for all. I enjoy the different flavors and can use the beans after the vanilla gone as either vanilla sugar or grind and use in recipes.

thank you, that is what i'm generally finding out is that vodka is close to everclear and much cheaper. $12 will get us plenty of budget vodka.

if you get a moment please PM me your source for Mexican beans. or post it here if you don't mind making a plug for them.

Breakfast this morning was 2 coffees with heavy cream, Belgium waffles with butter and strawberry sauce gifted to me from a dear friend, and bacon on the side. Yummy!

Today's sourdough baking, again there is some progress (my baking skill). One dough turns out to become a round loaf, 18 bread buns with toppings, and a tray of Focaccia.

The round loaf was sold before baking, the roasted (and seasoned with salt) potato brought some little joy while eating.

Nothing fancy, just good quality ingredients and patience.

Also like an art, isn't it? This dough created 18 bread buns

The bread buns were used for a brunch party and shared with neighbors; and the Focaccia (no photo) was used on a farewell dinner for dear friends who will leave for US two weeks later for fulfilling a 18-Month job contract.
