"The Bayleaf Blind" - John P. Cowan - Ltd. Edition Print

"Any cook worth his salt knows what bayleaf is - a time-honored seasoning that ranks with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, or sage. Live blue crabs boiled thirteen minutes in good clean salty bay water spiked with lemon peel and lots of dried bayleaf are absolutely ethereal.

Bayleaf grows in profusion along the lower Texas coast to the point of being a nuisance. It's also the best blind brushing material you can get your hands on. Cut it green, get it on the blind in short order, and bayleaf will not shed its leaves all season.

It stays greenish long enough to match the surrounding grass at the beginning of duck season, slowly turning brown to match the dying grass as the weather gets colder.

Bayleaf is tasty to nibble on, too, when ducks are slow and you're sitting there staring into another 'dog sun.'"

- John P. Cowan
