The email didn’t get through — so it may need resending (I checked my gmail spam file, and it definitely didn’t get shuffled there).

Haha… Yes, I am the writer of Joyful Abode, and Joyous is, well… a girl whose real name is actually Joy.

I’m pretty sure Joy doesn’t want to buy any beans, but she was offering her services as a runner to us So if we order some, she will get them from you to me, which is awesome of her (Thanks Joy!).

N, I am sending you an email so we don’t have to comment here anymore!

Joyous,
LOML and I were just talking earlier this afternoon about the fact that we really thought that we ought to go ahead with it: and so if you are both interested in coming in on a pound of beans, we are essentially far enough to order.
I was looking at the Ugandan beans, but am open to opinions: it appears that cost issues between the high-end beans are relatively small, so we can choose with abandon….

BreadBox and Admin,
I’M in Clemson too! Small world, haha. If you guys decide to do this anytime soon, and since I know Admin in “real life,” I would be willing to be a drug, I mean, vanilla bean, mule.

I’m up in Clemson — I was unsure on which to go for: I’ve never worked with the real stuff, and so there are two possible routes: go the standard, say, madagascar bean, and hope that it is a transformative experience, and then move up to the better beans: the alternative is to go for, say, the ugandan (which they are certainly hyping as amazing) and then be disappointed ever after if I can’t get them somewhere else.

I figure that if a pound is 100-ish beans, probably four people is about the minimum needed for a 1 lb order. I could see sacking away a few different recipes (vodka, brandy, rum, perhaps a ginger spiced version) of vanilla extract, and then using the rest for ice-cream, etc….

Oh wow, those are great prices on the bulk orders. Where in SC are you? I’m near Columbia. If you’re nearby and want to order soon, I’d go in on it with you!

Which kind of bean do you think you’d want to order?
