remember that honkin' large bottle of madagascar vanilla extract i bought a couple of months ago? well, king arthur flour has slashed the prices by half, and now the 32 oz. bottle is only $38. i know that sounds like a lot, but it really isn't, especially considering that a 4oz. bottle is $11. if you aren't experimenting with making your own extract like zarah and rachel, this is a deal worth a thousand (or more) cookies!
ps--sur la table is selling the 8oz. bottle for $39.95! see? madness i tell you, maaaadnessss!
nooooooooooooo!!! i just bought an 8 oz. bottle for $24.95 which is already a good deal but 32 oz. for $38? now that's a steal!
ReplyDeletedo i hear chantilly cream?
yup, a steal!!!
ReplyDeletethanks for the heads up Santos! I just ordered some. It will definitely be the biggest bottle of vanilla that I've ever owned!
ReplyDeleteOff topic: Would be wonderful to have your tagilo/balo-balo recipe posted! No need to be original. As you said, it's not just disgusting but it's good for you. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow... that's quite a big bottle! Do you know if it expires?
ReplyDeleteThe vanilla extract in Tijuana just isn't doing it for me. :)
hi cathy--with all the cookies you bake for mondays with maida, you might go through it faster than you think :-)
ReplyDeletehi karen--too late! we ate it all.
hey ollie--haven't heard from you in awhile. all that vanilla, you can macerate some tasty insects in that. actually, since the vanilla extract is like, 99.99% alcohol, it gets better the older it is (although i can't say how long is too long). i had a bottle for four years that was quite intense towards the end. i have no idea why it's so cheap, so maybe we'll all find out when our bottles show up :-D
