Bill Nye says reblog for science because that's what science is and how statistically meaningful sample groups are created.

can we please introduce a “if it isn’t tagged, tag it” culture on tumblr

“theres no algorithm, you’re the algorithm!” well if i see a shitpost about some media i like how am i supposed to find out what fandom to look for?? it’s three meme levels deep it’s not like reverse image search is gonna figure out that encryption.

just. if you see a post with nothing identifying the source, put it the in the tags for people like me?

i legit discovered a new comic because someone’s shitpost about it vibed with me and they had the character name in the tags, and even then it was a common sounding name so it took a moment to locate the comic but now i’m very happy i discovered. it, so please tag if you know the reference and no one’s done it yet

thanks, please take a vanilla extract for your scrolling journey

Vanilla Extract

How to make your very own VANILLA EXTRACT!!!!!

It's actually a lot easier than you think. Making any extract is basically putting stuff in alcohol and waiting.

Ingredients:

Grade B Vanilla Beans

Vodka

Glass jar/bottle

Steps:

Take your vanilla beans and shove/fold/smoosh/whatever you need to do to get them to fit in your glass jar.

Pour vodka on top to cover and close the jar.

Give it a quick shake

Shove it into a dark cabinet

Maybe give it a quick shake every 1-2 weeks for the first couple months

Wait

And that's it. Some people say it's ready to use after 2 months. I like to wait 6 so it gets a lovely, dark brown color. Start it now to be ready for the fall baking season!

You can also make multiple batches of extract from the same beans, and you'll get more, cheaper, extract overall that's better than what you get from the store. I think I bought a package that had 5-7 beans in it? And poured 2 cups of vodka on top. That's lasted me over 2 years and cost a grand total of maybe $30 bucks? And one of those little things from the store is about $20 for a fraction of the volume.

A Note on Vanilla Beans:

There are two categories for vanilla beans sold to the public: grade A and B.

Grade A vanilla beans are the big, plump ones you use for the fancier recipes that need the vanilla seeds scooped out of the bean and added to the recipe. Grade B are drier and are specifically for extracts. You can make extract with Grade A as well, but it's usually more expensive.
