This is hysterical!

Make the vanilla beans (4 years)

Vanilla grows best in warm temperatures, preferably in the 70’s to 90’s. Cooler temperatures will slow down the growth. Keep temperatures above 60˙F for the most part. Vanilla orchids benefit from regular applications of fertilizer.

It really is good for a laugh, but it’s also an interesting way to visualize just how much goes into something as “simple” as a chocolate chip cookie. It’s the labor of many people all around the world to grow the wheat, the vanilla, the cacao, process the cacao, raise the cows, churn the butter, etc.
