Here is another. Threefer, for home made bbq sauce.
- black strap molasses - ground coffee - fish or oyster sauce

I’m with you on the coffee. I always add it to my chili too. Last batch of bbq sauce had both coffee and homemade cane syrup. The fish sauce thing? I could see it on shrimp or fish( which we do very often). I’ll try it.

A few Young, small, green sweet bay branches ( with leaves) are excellent for adding to the smoker. Especially with dry rubbed ribs.

Definitely broadening my horizons on the sauces and seasoning. I’ll be trying this. Quick question: the coffee should be liquid right and how much should I add? Thanks!

I use freshly ground coffee beans but old coffee liquid would work i suppose. Ground is stronger...you don't need much. Tablespoon or less depending on batch size. Adoing liquid you can use more....maybe start with a cup if coffee and go from there using it as your base. Ill post a good base recipe when I find it.

Chocolate pie, peanut butter pie, chocolate cheesecake??? Instead of graham crackers for the crust, use the saltiest pretzels you can find and follow the recipe.

A decent size spoon full of Jif creamy PB in Chili. You wont taste it but it takes the acidity down a bit. The other is candied jalepenos on pecan pie alond with the pecans.

True sweet bay is a Mediterranean plant. I think “sweet bay” may get tagged to several varieties. Just a bay laurel I believe. Beyond that you will have to ask Pete. I’m no botanist.

Beyond that you will have to ask Pete. I’m no botanist. We have several bays...Persea palustris...some hairs on underside of leaves in wetter areas (swamp bay), P. borbonia variety borbonia (red bay) no hairs dryer areas and P borbonia var. humilis (silk bay) in scrub. I use them all in cooking interchangeably with Laurus nobelis...the bay you buy in the store. By the way this grows well in Gville...really well. I can't tell a difference. To note Persea americana is the avocado. All of these bays get a deadly wilt caused by a fungus? brought to the states on a ship (maybe Savanah) carried by a wood boring ambrosia beetle. On Lake Lochloosa (Garrison hammock) in Alachua County red bay trees as big as grandaddy live oaks are now dead. The native Florida bays are very common (have red bay on my lot in Gville) but they don't get big anymore. Similar fate as the Chestnut. florida.plantatlas.usf.edu/Genus.aspx?id=912

The biggest red bay I know of is on campus near Flavet by some intramural softball field. It's about the size of a medium laurel oak.
I didn't know that historically they could be as big as a live oak, that's impressive!

I didn't know that historically they could be as big as a live oak, that's impressive! That's big because of the laurel wilt disease. Thanks, ill have to check it out.
