Just scrape all the seeds into a mortar and pestle, grind them, throw the beans in some alcohol (rum, bourbon style Canadian whiskey, sherry), soak then leave them in a sugar bowl and save the sugar.
Now take the vanilla bean paste from your pestle and put it directly in my mouth.

Ingredients I always ignore the amount given in recipes:
Garlic, lime juice, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, chocolate chips, raisins. There’s probably more.

Always more with garlic. Calls for “2-3 cloves” means at least half bulb. On spice, I’ll hold off if I’m cooking for others that can’t deal and just leave that on the side when serving.

It is technically possible to use too much garlic, but at that point you’re concerned about the amount of money being used to season a single item.

I’ve put double the garlic a recipe called for before and it was still not enough. Who the hell are these people writing recipes for? Vampires? Or do recipe writers live in some place that has really strong garlic??
RBWells@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah I think the right amount is either zero or a lot. There’s nothing I want a little bit of garlic in.

I honestly think that a lot of recipes are written for people who just don’t like things that have a lot of flavor

Oh I’m compassionate on hot spices, but if it’s just for me? GAME ON, LET’S SWEAT
Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Always double the garlic, at least.

Unless the recipe calls for an absolutely egregious amount of garlic, I sometimes triple or even quadruple the garlic the recipe calls for. One clove is barely perceptible to me now.

That was 2 bulbs of garlic right?
