Vanilla

[Double R]

Went to a Christmas party tonight. :Xmastree:
Did a present “game”. Ended up “stealing away” a BIG bottle of expensive vodka!! Woot! Woot!
Should have seen the look on everyone’s face because I was so excited to start my vanilla! You’d have thunk I slapped someone’s momma! Apparently drinking it was the only option everyone saw.
Now to order beans!

@Double R good on you I would have been really excited too .

On a side note I still hope no-one from our LDS church saw us coming out of the local bottle shop with a bottle of vodka in a plastic bag under our arm to make vanilla with too . Funny thing was the attendant behind the counter wanted us to join the liquor club to get a discount on everything but after we explained we were LDS and didn't drink he gave us his mother's discount from her card, which I have to say was so nice of him because it saved us about $4 off the price of the bottle of vodka.

Here in the South we put BIG RED DOTS on the spirit shops.
That is so if & when you are to drink to walk you can crawl to the the store with the red dots.

In my post on the origin of the term “package store,” I mentioned that in South Carolina liquor stores are often called “red dot stores.” The reason for that is simple: almost all of the ones in the state seem to have at least one if not multiple big red dots on their signs or painted on the sides of their buildings. But why did owners start painting those red dots on them in the first place?

South Carolinians often speculate various explanations: that it’s because liquor stores owners needed a way for the people who couldn't read could to find their stores, or because it represents a red sun because the states liquor stores were originally opened from dawn to dusk. The real answer lies back in the swirl of odd and often puzzling alcohol control legislation that emerged in the wake of Prohibition’s repeal.
