I have several people with bay trees in pots by their front doors on my post walk, I just pick a few off them as and when I need them.Mostly I pick bay leaves fresh off the bush. If you dry them until they squeak then crumble roughly, pull out the twiggy bits then powder in a blender. A quarter teaspoon in stews is enough.
The sign of any family meal is “noch eine runde!”.That was phenomenal.
Should’ve added some greenery to the plate but couldn’t be arsed.
Still got enough for round two tomorrow.

I'm impressed! That's a lot of tea! Never see boxes that size over here. Happy munching. And see, from the likes you got,other people are interested in what you salvage.
Slow cooked beef stew. Onions caramelised, beef browned in seasoned flour then added to onions with two cans of Guinness, a couple of teaspoons of non-lumpy Branston pickle, 2 beef stock pots and a good helping of Worcestershire sauce. Simmered on lowest heat setting for ages, beef melts in mouth and it's gravy turned up to 11.
