Η βανίλια στη φυσική της μορφή προέρχεται από μια ορχιδέα και είναι ένας μακρόστενος λοβός, τον οποίο τον κόβουμε στη μέση και μετά με ένα μαχαίρι ή κουταλάκι αφαιρούμε τα σποράκια που έχει μέσα που είναι πολύ πολύ μικρά και μαύρα σαν χαβιάρι. Για να δεις πως είναι ο λοβός πήγαινε εδώ (πάνω στο γλυκό βλέπεις το λοβό). Λοβούς βανίλιας θα βρεις σε καλά μπαχαράδικα, σε κάποια σουπερμάρκετ και στην Ευριπίδου. Η γεύση της φυσικής βανίλιας είναι πολύ ανώτερη από τη χημική και θα έλεγα εντελώς διαφορετική, αλλά τελοσπάντων αν δεν μπορείς να βρεις βάλε 1/4 κουτ.γλυκού βανιλίνη.

Remember the final tea with all the pink flowers was partly in honor of reconciliation between Maria’s Uncle, who hated pink and Robin’s Mother, who loved pink. So, your color was very appropriate in symbolizing the banishing of hate.

Lovely and evocative post – the nurturing of food is such an important thing.

I am sure Maria would forgive you for the pink glaze. I can just imagine the sweet, buttery smell of vanilla in your kitchen! It is just the smell of love and home, isn’t it? Great choice!
