Lee, my Mommy would love having you over for snacks. Her favorite ice cream is vanilla and to her (and me) there is nothing quite like a quality vanilla ice cream.

Growing up Mommy and I would bake, before beginning we grabbed all the ingredients and placed them on the table. "First things first", she would say as she unscrewed the pure vanilla extract bottle. Both of us would dab on some pure vanilla behind our ears and wrists. Ah, the wonderful memories.

I have never baked with anything besides pure vanilla extract.......I use real vanilla bean when making extravagant desserts......and yes, I still dab my vanilla extract just like in the old days. Life is good.

And Vickie, I will tell you one more time, Dylan is a very wonderful little person. He always seems to make me proud with something he has done or said. Give him a kiss for me.
