harvesting rosemary and bay leaves: drying

Some very lovely friends came to dinner the other night and brought with them a gorgeous gift: fresh rosemary and bay leaves.  I was thrilled and immediately started pondering all the possible things I could cook with them.  In the meantime though, I'm going to dry them both.  Some more googling has revealed that, like marjoram, bay leaves acquire more flavour as they dry.  So up they went onto the wall, to replace the marjoram that's been bottled up.



The rosemary, I made into a new flower arrangement.  Apparently although rosemary can be dried, it's better in its fresh form.  I'll ponder over the next couple of days what to use it for!
