Drying Bay Leaves

Jeff’s god-parents visited us last weekend from California. They brought us three branches of bay leaves from their yard. I already made chicken soup with three of them. They are so fragrant. Did you know that bay leaves also repel bugs? You can include them in your buckets/containers of stored foods, or lay them in the corners of your cupboards.

When these (which I stripped from the branches and dusted) are fully dry, I will store them in the freezer.
