Now that our bay laurel bush is just a shadow of its former self, we have hundreds or thousands of bay leaves strung up to dry and then use in our cooking.

I wouldn't say that I am burned out, but hey, if you held a cigarette close to me, it would light on fire without a match. I am gaining popularity with scout troops for their camping trips when they want to start the campfire for cooking. As I write this, there are 24 days, 5 hours, and 42 minutes left before the end of my semester. There is nothing that could make me happier at this point other than finding out I have inherited a castle in Scotland, tax-free.You will notice that I am using... Read more
