No Bay Leaves for you. - Food
Posted on: 2007-09-20 18:28:52

I just made some chicken noodle soup. For whatever reason, tonight I decided to stray from my normal recipe and cut the basil and add a couple of bay leaves. After the second check on the noodles, everything looked fine, still could see the leaves, so I went back to the computer. Next check, obviously done, but no leaves in sight. I made a mental note to keep an eye out for them as I was eating since actually eating the leaves can be bad. I crossed the room to grab a bowl and when I turned around, I saw the two bay leaves attached to the side of the pot. Apparently, the water had boiled over just a little, but only long enough to kick the leaves out, before deciding that it could cool down a little. Now I would have thought that under a constant temperature, it would have continuted to boil over. I guess my chicken noodle soup is just too good for bay leaves.

weird....

I can never tell if they really add any flavor in the first place.

There's a plus

At least Kitty didn't summon some sort of water creature into the pot that kicked the bay leaves out. I mean, that could happen, right?

P.S.

Bay Leaves

Bay leaves do have very limited uses. Most of them revolve around italian cooking. However in highschool I made Roman cheesebread (a 2000 year old recipe mind you) consisting of feta cheese kneaded into unleavened bread and baked on a bed of bay leaves. I can see how one could love them if you didn't have access to double bacon cheeseburgers with bacon cheese fries.

Yeah....

Other then the "Bay Leaf Nazi" coming by and taking them out, but forgeting his lines and what to really do with them, besides putting them on the side of the pot, I see nothing else to say about it. O, I would take a two thousand year old chunk of cheesebread over a cheeseburger any day. (Damn it! Is it anyday or any day? Fuuuuuck!!!!!.....)

Bloody memory...

O yeah I forgot that the "Bay Leaf Nazi" also escapes without Ian knowing, leaving not only his task left unfinished but also forgeting to leave his idenity (signature mark: Batman's bat, Robin Hood's green clothes, my middle finger! Ha Ha!!!!) so he would recieve credit for his hanus (evil) act...... I AM NORMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..!..!!!!!!!
