Wooooooooo I found some contraband in one of the cabinets

I ordered ingredients that I needed to make homemade cinnamon rolls. The only thing that the shopper actually got was cream cheese but it is whipped and not the solid block I asked for. No flour, no pecans, no alcohol-free vanilla, no brown sugar, etc. Luckily we have enough on hand to get me through. . . except there was no alcohol-free vanilla. We had some here a few months ago when I was here. Another resident here bought some to make her cookies but she must be keeping it in her room since she paid for it.
I was frustrated and decided to tear up the cabinet with the baking supplies. Guess what I found hidden all the way in the back behind a bag of dried cranberries? Real vanilla extract--alcohol and all. That definitely isn't allowed which is why it was hidden so well.
HAHAHAHAHA I'm going to use it. I kind of need to since there isn't an alternative version. I will hide it again when I'm done because I want to make a lemon pound cake tomorrow.

I’m glad you scored with the real vanilla. I really don’t like the artificial stuff.
I scored the other day—son in law, who is a gourmet cook, presented me with a jar of Penzey’s cinnamon and a bottle of their vanilla. He claimed he grabbed a deal and got them for me. Their cinnamon and vanilla are so wonderful!!
