Many organized incorporated territories of the United States existed from 1789 to 1959 (the first being the Northwest and the Southwest territories, the last being the Alaska Territory and the Hawaii Territory), through which 31 territories applied for and were granted statehood.
Considerations When Choosing an Extract Substitution. If you only need 1/4 teaspoon of extract, you can substitute just 2 drops of a similar flavored oil instead of the extract. Many extracts substitute well for each other, like almond extract instead of vanilla extract or lemon extract instead of lime extract.
I have several very pliable, very pungent vanilla beans on hand. (I use them for rum and bourbon infusions - http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/5516...) I have read enough to know that a substitution of bean for extract is a viable option, but no one seems to share a ratio.
