Kid Chat
She’d kill me if she knew I was posting this online, but here goes. This is a conversation I had with our daughter while cooking together recently.
Me: Here’s the bay leaves. Take out 3 and throw them in the pot.
Her: Can I touch them?
Me: (silence) Of course! You have to get them out of the jar and throw them in the pot whole.
Her: Can I smell them?
Me: Sure.
Her: So, are they like wine?
Me: ??? What do you mean? They’re leaves, like herbs.
Her: Yeah, but when we were at that block party, you and the other moms were talking about having coffee with bay leaves, and it kind of sounded like you were talking about wine.
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Her: What’s so funny?
Me: That was Bailey’s, honey. Coffee with Bailey’s. And yes, that is kind of like wine – like a creamy wine that tastes good in coffee when it’s cold outside. Ah, that was cute.
Her: You better not put it on Facebook.
Promise kept.

Though actually, coffee with bay leaves might be tasty.
Now that you’ve reminded me of that delicious concoction, I’m going to put it on my weekend agenda.
Awesome! There are recipes on line to make your own Irish Cream. I was going to try it this year just haven’t gotten to it yet.
Haha! Yeah, kids are funny. And you are so good to have not broken your promise!
I got very very fat on Bailey’s when I was 23.
