Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hey folks, Just wanted to mention, last night I enjoyed some vodka that I have vanilla beans living in and WOW! It is awesome. (Far superior IMHO to the " Vanilla Vodkas " available pre-made). I suggest everyone make some, whether it is for consuming, or spraying onto oneself as simple, yet luscious, personal fragrance!!!! Actually, I prefer to use my Everclear tinctured vanilla for perfumes, but not everyone can get Everclear, and I'd never drink that stuff (can you say " intense " ?) *lol*! The Vanilla Vodka is so very multipurpose! YUMMMMMMY! *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com <http://www.alittleolfactory.com/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Christine, Are there going to be any vanilla bean prebuys anytime soon, or do you have them on your website? Just thinking about a Christmas present for one of my aunts. Jennifer ---- Christine Ziegler 12/20/2006 12:50:37 PM Vanilla Vodka!

(Far superior IMHO to the " Vanilla Vodkas " available pre-made). [Dave:] Ah, you’ve reminded me of something! Many years ago, I minored in Russian language and literature. I had a wonderful professor named Valentina Fyodorovna, and she taught me how to make a very special (and surely dangerous) traditional Russian Christmas vodka. Here’s how you make it: during the warm months, save up a couple handfuls of fruit pits. Whatever flavor you like, peach, cherry, apricot, or just mix ‘em. Dry them on the windowsill and then crack them open with pliers or a nutcracker. Inside each pit is a kernel that is just brimming with things like laetrile, strychnine, and various alkaloids. You take these and put them in a bottle of vodka, wrap it up in foil, and stick it on a shelf. At Christmas, the tradition is to drink last year’s bottle and make next year’s. I can’t remember what this beverage is called, but they have special liqueur glasses for it, very elegant and tiny. They only hold half an ounce or so. You drink this stuff VERY sparingly! It makes you high as a kite and trust me, it isn’t the alcohol. You could probably kill yourself with this stuff, but it tastes wonderful. -- Version: 7.5.432 / Virus Database: 268.15.26/594 - Release 12/20/2006 3:54 PM -- Version: 7.5.432 / Virus Database: 268.15.26/594 - Release 12/20/2006 3:54 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Sounds like absinthe, but absinthe is just thujone (wormwood) [Dave:] Seems like I remember reading somewhere that they’ve decided absinthe isn’t so bad after all, and have started allowing it to be made and sold again. Not sure about that. Russian Christmas Vodka is something that probably should not be legal, and definitely should not fall into the wrong hands. There’s just no telling what drugs you’re ingesting with this stuff. Not to go into how I know this, but having a load of strychnine in your system is not a very enjoyable experience. -- Version: 7.5.432 / Virus Database: 268.15.26/594 - Release 12/20/2006 3:54 PM -- Version: 7.5.432 / Virus Database: 268.15.26/594 - Release 12/20/2006 3:54 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Dave:] I always would’ve liked to try that one, but I’ve just somehow never had a couple of grand to spend on a potentially fatal meal. -- Version: 7.5.432 / Virus Database: 268.15.26/594 - Release 12/20/2006 3:54 PM -- Version: 7.5.432 / Virus Database: 268.15.26/594 - Release 12/20/2006 3:54 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
