Vanilla is the pasta of the ice cream world. I have no idea if that analogy makes any sense, but I just made it up and I think I'll stick with it.
What I mean is this. Like pasta, ice cream is something that you can do a lot of things with. You can put various sauces on pasta, mix in chicken or beef, add various cheeses, put it in soups and salads and other meals. Now look at vanilla ice cream -- it's the base for a lot of different flavors of ice cream, you can add fudge or caramel or nuts or chocolate chips to it and it becomes a whole new thing.
Anyway, Happy Vanilla Ice Cream Day. Here's a bunch of recipes, from Good Housekeeping, AllRecipes (using Eagle Brand condensed milk), and SouthernFood.about.com. Oh, and let's not forget Thomas Jefferson's classic recipe.
Wikipedia offers the history of vanilla.

Start at Haagen-Dasz and go up from there, and suddenly vanilla isn't just the base that holds other flavors together, it's a rich, subtle taste to be savored.
