Sunday

I’ve been thinking about growing one, I’d have to winter in the house. I use way too much, love bay. Just made a chicken, mostly mushroom, garden vegetables, wild rice soup. In an eight quart pot I used seven leaves. I buy in bulk at Spice Jungle online. Been doing business with them for a very long time, it’s a Michigan company so it’s kinda like buying local.
