Which Reminds Me

While in college I went on a field trip during the January term. For three weeks we traveled in two fans through Baja California and Mexico studying desert biology. I do remember that one time when we stopped at a Mexican grocery store, one of our science teachers recommended that we take advantage of the opportunity to buy a huge jug of Mexican vanilla which supposedly is better than the diluted, highly processed variety that is found in tiny jars on the average U.S. grocery store shelf and supposedly is more pure vanilla and of better flavor. So probably some of us did that. So? Who is going to argue with a science teacher with a doctoral degree in these matters?
