my wife is portuguese and uses bayleaf in many dishes. to me it tastes like leaves off a tree. i believe bayleaf, rhododendron and mountain laurel are in the same family. everyone`s taste is different and either you love it or hate it. its like cilantro where you love it or hate it. same with black pepper, either you love it or hate it. i put black pepper on everything.salsalady said:Oh, SHOOT! All my posts have been disqualified...I didn't include the "money" shot!
And Bay Leaf in the soup. I like using bay leaves, John doesn't get it, and gives me a bad time whenever he finds one. Whatever, I know it helps in the stew, beans, or whatever.
I used to work in the kitchen at a Job Corp center back in the late 80's. One time a kid found a bay leaf in his food, came up to the serving line throwing a big ol' fit accusing the cooks of putting trees in the food. The cook had to take him back into the kitchen and open the spice jar to prove it wasn't from the rhododendron bushes outside.
The campus also housed some mentally ill patients. There was this one guy Wally, who was a pretty sweet, timid and sensitive guy. One day, Wally came up to the serving line with his tray of food, really upset, almost crying. He'd spilled his glass of milk onto his tray. It was all I could do not to bust up laughing as I told him, "it's OK Wally, no use crying over spilt milk."

I never thought of bay leaf in that LoveIt/HateIt category.luvmesump3pp3rz said:
Lavender is another LI/HI things.
John HATES cilantro, I Like/Love it. He doesn't seem to hate the taste of bay leaves, just kind of doesn't get them. But when I use them in a stew, he Loves the end product.
Geeme's a definite HATEIT for all things Black Pepper. Hence the little attachment "sorry, geeme" when posting about a dish that contains black pepper, that if it didn't contain black pepper, geeme would probably LOVE the dish. ~~~

John hasn't been in a store in a month. I am passing through town occasionally so I get to go into the petri dish also known as the grocery store. Our 2 local stores now have the PlexiGlass shields up, but the store employees, who are walking around, handling the produce and the meat, stocking the shelves...are NOT wearing masks! Some are wearing bandanas, most aren't.keybrdkid said:
KBK, you've been ahead of the curve with your Elder. Good on you guys. If you need some yeast, hit me up~ I haven't looked at the local store. They seem to be well stocked with fresh bread so maybe there hasn't been a run on the RedStar up here.
Hanks has taken to dividing up the toilet paper into 2-packs. The shelves are stocked with the traditional plastic grocery bags with 2 rolls of toilet paper in each. I should of taken a picture;.....and signs saying "2 rolls per person per trip" .....
Well, that's not part of our Quarantine Cooking thread so, NEVER MIND!!!!
We did finally decide on what to eat, oven wangs and pasta salad. And a few more bites of that fatty pork candy!!! I used Head Country on some and a hot wing sauce.

And here was the toilet paper section likely currently of a different store:
It is like hurricane season, but at least the A/C is still on!

SL. 2 friends( brothers) and I rented a townhouse together when I was in my twenties.
The one brother was so bad about buying TP that eventually , the other brother and I would just bring our own rolls with us and then take it back to our rooms. He would often steal TP from his work but if he forgot he would have to go to 7-11 if things became urgent ,so to speak. At the time 7-11 would sell a two roll TP package.
Short story long, that is why we started calling him "2pack shi++*r".

Ashen, I never had a real opportunity to live with roommates as how you describe. I think John could relate. Closest encounter was.....when I slept with my husbands brother. Yep. True Story....
The rest of the story is....
Their parents had sold a house and were getting rid of all the "schtuff" including furniture. John was working full time, so I took the Suburban and an small U-Haul trailer to Seattle to pick up a bunch of stuff. The MovingVan was scheduled for Off-Load the next day. OK...
So...I arrive at the house in a rural area of Seattle, Ballard-ish....I don't specifically remember...
Rob was living with 2 other guys in a 3 story house. I climbed up to the 3rd story room, which was Rob's room, which had a toilet tucked under an eve and a big King mattress on the floor.....and the toilet was CLOGGED!!! Frickin' Typical ROB! He'd try to drop the kids off at the pool and The Seattle Aquarium would call complaining about the lack of water!!! Keep in mind he'd lived with us for several summer while in college.....so I kinda had an inkling about those things~~
Ok, So I know he's a slob and will clog any toilet....whatever...we're going out on the town! Which We Did! hit some local bars, closed up the local joint, stumbled up to the 3rd floor and crashed out for the night.
In the MORNING>>>>>>>
I woke up to the worst dog breath....and I'm not talking about the hangover drunk dog breath!!! Rob's 60 pound Red Heeler was lying in between us on the mattress on the floor. Facing ME!!! EEEEEWWWWW! Don't worry, we had our last night's cloths on.
But it was right about the time when the moving van was showing up and we had to transfer stuff from the movers to my U-Haul, and it was about 7:00AM and ........OOOOOooooo Mama was NOT feeling Happy!!!!!!
That was one of those... prolly should not have been driving because I prolly was pretty much still half drunk.........
I remember driving the Suburban with the UHaul trailer behind it through the narrow residential streets of Ballard until I managed to find I-5, ( no idea how I managed to NOT hit any cars in the tight parking of the city.....) then , 5 hours later, I made it home.
Oh I forgot to mention....John had a piece for the french bread today, and he said it tasted 'flat'. OK, that's when I confessed it didn't have any SALT in the bread. He'd had no idea, but as soon as I said no salt, it was ~lightbulb~ Oh yea, that's it.

Question, if I put tuna, cheese and mayo on a pizza base and bake it,
is that a tuna melt pie or an open face tuna melt?
