Here in the colonies, they distinguish three kinds of plain vanilla:
Vanilla - generally minimally and artificially flavoured, so that the other varieties are "premium" ones. Useful as "a la mode" topping.
Vanilla Bean - more flavour, but with added gritty black specks to prove they used real beans instead of vanillin.
French Vanilla - (similar to Cornish) which is made as a proper custard-based ice cream using eggs.
You'll also get frozen yoghurt in vanilla flavour, which is generally indistinguishable from the basic ice cream. These concoctions are generally industrial mixtures, and have no natural processes involved, so the yoghurt/cream distinction is a bit moot. The thickening of the milk usually comes from seaweed extracts, anyway. I believe you can also get stuff that contains no milk products at all.

*fist pumps* YES! The wind turned, so tomorrow if I go outside it will not be a question of which comes first: choking or spontaneous combustion! The crappy weather's buggered off! Also, because I'm bored, here's this, which sums me up pretty well right about now This post has been edited by Callidus Thorn: Aug 15 2016, 07:53 PM

The crappy weather's buggered off! Also, because I'm bored, here's this, which sums me up pretty well right about now WOO HOO!!!!! (On the wind/weather turning) On the baby lion = D'Aaaawwwww!!!!! It is adorable!! (if you looked that cute you would have nothing to worry about, BWAAHAA !!!!!) JUST KIDDING!!! I think your wind blew your bad weather this way; we have one hell of a wicked storm blowing in really fast from the north east - not looking good, already heard a branch land on our deck! Urgh. I've already unplugged everything and brought the dog in, I can see lightning and hear thunder as it rolls towards us and ... huh? It stopped and everything went dead for a couple minutes and then suddenly it hit again with a vengeance !!!!! Urgh. Glad for my laptop and flashlight.

Such a relief, I hate when the weather throws crap into the air that screws with asthmatics. QUOTE(mALX @ Aug 15 2016, 08:07 PM) On the baby lion = D'Aaaawwwww!!!!! It is adorable!! (if you looked that cute you would have nothing to worry about, BWAAHAA !!!!!)

In all honesty, I'd hate to be described as cute QUOTE(mALX @ Aug 15 2016, 08:07 PM) I think your wind blew your bad weather this way; we have one hell of a wicked storm blowing in really fast from the north east - not looking good, already heard a branch land on our deck! Urgh.

Holy crap, that sounds nasty. I hope it blows over as quickly as it approached.

Thanks! It slowed way down; now it is lingering just to the NE of my house. Thank goodness the wind died down, we still have the last tree that fell leaned against the house. And I'm glad it is holding off so my son can get to work. He is in a loaner car he is not used to, didn't want him driving in a storm in it.
