La Patricia Rain is one lady with a truly interesting personality and an equally interesting job. She is the Vanilla Queen…this is no joke, she is the reigning Vanilla Queen.
I’m a fan of Ms. Rain. I’m a loyal follower of her blog at patriciarain.blogspot.com and really enjoy the stories, recipes and culinary tips in The Vanilla Cookbook. Her virtual queendom is www.vanilla.com that specializes in vanilla beans and vanilla products. I’ve tried her mexican vanilla beans and really like them.
Anyway, read her interesting story on how she was adopted by the Mexican Totonacapans (who descended from the original cultivators of vanilla beans) and gets to be the Vanilla Queen here.

I accidentally stumbled on your blog and read what you wrote about my site and me.
Thank you very, very much! I feel as if I’m writing into cyber-space so it’s so gratifying to learn that someone is actually reading what I write. If you have a way to encourage more people to our site, that would be great. And I would be happy to write a note about you as well.
I hope that your blog brings you great success!
