Exactly when did the price of Bay Leaves triple? And more importantly, WHY? I mean, $13.99 for that little bottle? And the 'generic' bottle was half that but the leaves were old and gray and rusty = nasty. I'm not out yet, but you better believe I'm watching for a sale on spices. Dang. I use it in a lot of stuff, mostly my soups and stews and it's getting to be the time of year when I start making those more often. With my dietary restrictions, I need that flavor boost.
The egg-white cake I tried did indeed come out more like a pound cake and I'm glad I read the comments section and used vanilla in it as some of the others recommended. It was not bad but too much work unless I ever come up with a cup of egg whites again and have no other uses for it. The lemon chess pie, not so good. Maybe a different flavor would have been better, but we were not thrilled with it.
The cole slaw with apple and cucumbers was awesome as usual tho.
