by the way, in case you were wondering:

apparently there are several opinions on vanilla extract - some people

think it is and some people think it isn't. i guess ymmv. one person noted

that it might just be the alcohol content itself is hard on a sensitive

system in recovery, and another person said that her daughter reacts to the

glycerin (which this particular bottle of vanilla did have). so i'm not

sure what to think, but i do think i'll hold off on the vanilla for a bit.

regarding the a1, kraft's information was quite vague. after being

befuddled, i have decided to continue to assume it's suspect. plus it's not

organic so i had no business using it to begin with, so for the future i'm

proclaiming that issue moot.
