Alas, my local Costco doesn't have the vanilla beans, at least that I
could find when I was there yesterday.

That sounds like a nice vodka; our Costco can't carry it, at least as
far as I'm aware. Here in Ontario we can't buy liquor, wine or beer
anywhere but at specially licensed outlets; wine, imported beers and
spirits from the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, and "regular" beer
from The Beer Store (yep, that's what it's called; it used to be
Brewer's Retail and I honestly don't know why the name was changed )
