Pinterest is pintastic!

It's a good day in the Jeffs household today and I owe a big "thanks" to Pinterest.

Thank you to the folks who pinned "Make your own vanilla"
I've made my own vanilla   (Stoli and Madagascar vanilla beans, hello!)

Thank you to the folks who pinned "Make your own caramel".
Sweetened condensed milk plus pot of boiling water plus 2 hours =  can of awesomeness

And another big thank you to the ladies that blogged (an subsequently pinned) "Make your own flavored syrups"

So today I made two coffee syrups to accompany my espresso machine using the vanilla and caramel and it's ALLLLLLLL good.

Selina even helped me decorate the dispensers  :)   What a great kid!



Who wants to come over for a vanilla and/or caramel latte??
