Measuring Liquids Tip

Forgot this tip in my last post. When I'm measuring small amounts of liquids, e.g. vanilla extract, I use the measuring cups that come with medicine bottles. This way I don't have to worry about a measuring spoon falling over or dirty an entire bowl for one ingredient.

Pictured is the homemade vanilla extract I received last Christmas from my other mom, Kathy. Basically, you put a vanilla bean in a small jar, add vodka and let it sit for a few weeks. After you start using it, you just replace the vodka as needed and occasionally give it a shake.
