fyi...vanilla sugar is when you bury a vanilla bean in sugar in a sealed container for several weeks. It has a great vanilla hint to many things.

Yeah, the only vanilla beans I can get in my area are the nasty dried ones, plus they cost about $10 a pop... and I think the mexican vanilla tastes better than these dried beans anyway. I've never had the pleasure of cooking with a fresh vanilla bean, but I can only imagine how pure that must taste.
