Just got back from another great weekend of school in New York. Hope you did not miss me too much.
My dancing partner, Norma, gave me some vanilla beans as a gift this weekend. This is what you make pure vanilla out of. These are not easy to come by. That is why we typically use "imitation vanilla". Now that I have this wonderful gift I have no clue what to do with them. They certainly smell nice. So if anyone out there knows what to do with these aromatic twiggy things please drop a comment or send me an email.
Stay Positive,
matthew

I'm pretty sure that you can make your own vanilla extract by soaking them in alcohol (I'd go with a good quality vodka probably) for some time. I imagine a quick search on google will give you better instructions.
And enjoy! I'm jealous!
Martha Stewart actually has a lot of recipes utilizing vanilla beans. You might check her website for some ideas.
