Vanilla Bean

Kim (USA) , sent me some Vanilla Bean as a christmas gift to me...Look at the size compared to my usual vanilla bean. It's really huge, plump and fresh and I was told that I can use it again and again. I love it!! Even when I hold it in my fingers for a few seconds the smell of vanilla will linger onto my fingers for quite some time.
Thanks Kim for the wonderful wonderful gift..

Hi Fanny,

Where is the vanilla bean farm that you dad had? I'm curious.

Mine is from Tahiti.

Hi aunty, my dad's farm is in Indonesia. But it's been long time ago, he used to own cloves farm too and now he plant cocoa and avocado.
I was thinking about making my own cocoa powder hahaaa...kidding.

Hi aunty,
i know nothing about planting vanilla. I live so far away from Indonesia. I just search the net about making cocoa powder and it need a lot of tools which i dunno where to buy. I'd better grab hersheys.
