Vanilla Extract
I made vanilla extract. Since I just followed the directions, here is the link. I can’t try it for 4 weeks, and it won’t really be done for six months. I hope it doesn’t come out weak. I dropped a bit of the seeds on the floor and decided to trash what was on the…

Pesto Tilapia on Tomato Risotto with Roast Asparagus
I made enough for 4 this time because I wanted left overs to pack for lunch. The tilapia was 1/2 pound rubbed with pesto from a squeeze tube, then fried. I didn’t love the flavor, and if I were to try fish like this again, I’d pick a different white fish, possibly haddock. Otherwise I…
