I will Google when not On The Clock

I have acquired an vanilla bean. This is the mutual fault of kaberett and Safeway's buy-2-get-1-free on select spices today. (I was only actually after cinnamon and rosemary.)

(1) How turn vanilla bean into vanilla sugar? P sure it involves sticking bean in mason jar full of sugar and waiting, but is there more prep, and how long is wait? ETA: a useful

(2) What else might vanilla bean be good for?

Okay, folks. As April first is Saturday, I hereby pledge not to post any pranks, jokes, false links, or screamers. Nothing originating on this blog will be a prank or deliberately incorrect. If I re-post or link to other people’s pranks, which I may, they will be clearly marked so you don't click on them and think they're real.

No direct links to howling horribleness, and no 'alternative facts', will ever purposefully appear on this blog. If one does, it's a hack or something changed, or I messed up; please let me know immediately so I can fix it.

Stay safe out there, my dears! We non-pranksters have got your back.
