French Vanilla?

Hi Deanna,

There are two answers:

1) Among ice cream manufacturers, "French vanilla" often refers to vanilla ice cream with tiny pieces of vanilla bean in it.

2) The origin of vanilla is Mexico and Central America. The Aztecs and Mayas revered the plant and believed that it was an aphrodisiac, reserving it for royalty. . Many, many years ago, some Frenchmen took some cuttings of Mexican vanilla plants to the islands of Madagascar and Reunion off the coast of Africa to see if they would grow there. They did grow and flourished, and the French, instead of importing vanilla from Mexico, grew vanilla on those islands. The vanilla grown there, particularly on Madagascar, therefore became known as "French Vanilla".

  hi 
  I am wondering if you know where the poem Rainbow bridge  came from
  jimmy 

Hello Jimmy,

Well, do you mean the poem about what happens to pets that we love? The text of that poem is below. The origin of that poem is unknown. The idea of the rainbow being a bridge between heaven and Earth seems to have originated with Norse mythology.

In Norse mythology, Bifrost, which means "rainbow", was the bridge that spanned Midgard, the realm of man, and Asgard, the realm of the Gods. Bifrost was made of 3 colors with great magics and skill by the Aesir and is incredibly strong. It is said that the bridge will never fall until the end of the Cosmos itself, at which time it will collapse. The bridge Bifrost is closely guarded by Heimdall, the watchman of the Gods to keep the ferocious giants from entering the lands of Man and destroying them.

  Rainbow Bridge 

  Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. 

  When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes 
  to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so 
  they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and 
  our friends are warm and comfortable. 

  All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those 
  who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them 
  in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except 
  for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left 
  behind. 

  They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks 
  into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he 
  begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him 
  faster and faster. 

  You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling 
  together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your 
  face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting 
  eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. 

  Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Alaskan Mock Lobster

Having seen several recipes for Mock Lobster on your wonderful site, I simply must 
give you our Alaskan Mock Lobster. This is so simple, a child could make it. And, 
it really does taste like lobster!

1 gallon water
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. salt

Boneless Halibut cut into large chunks.

Bring the water to a fierce boil with the sugar and salt. Drop in Halibut pieces one 
by one, so as not to disrupt the boil. When they float, they're done. Maybe 3-4 minutes.

Serve with drawn garlic butter or use in any way you would use lobster.  Makes great 
"Lobster" Rolls!
