A bay is an area of water mostly surrounded or otherwise demarcated by land. Bays generally have calmer waters than the surrounding sea, due to the surrounding land blocking some waves and often reducing winds. It can also be an inlet in a lake or pond.

A large bay may be called a gulf, a sea, a sound, or a bight. A narrow bay may also be called a fjord if its sides are relatively steep. A cove is a circular or oval coastal inlet with a narrow entrance; some coves may be referred to as bays.

Most small bays are formed as soft rock or clay is eroded by waves. Any hard rock is eroded less quickly, leaving headlands. Any bay may contain fish and other sea creatures or be adjacent to other bays (for example, James Bay is adjacent to Hudson Bay). Large bays, such as the Bay of Bengal and the Hudson Bay, have varied marine geology.

There are various ways that bays can be created. For example, the water level of a sea can rise, flooding the shore and creating a bay.

When the coast is made of alternate bands of hard and soft rok,thesoft rock gets eroded quickly to form a bay.the hard more resistant rock stands out as headlands.

Bay leaves: If I used them crushed, do I still have to avoid eating them when my meal is ready?
Q. I'm making jamalaya, which calls for one bay leaf. The leaf is to be taken out before serving, however, I only have crushed bay leaves on hand. So, are they still inedible even if crushed?

A. You should remove the bay leaf if you use a whole one. If you only have crushed bay leaves, you can place them in a tea ball or tea strainer (little metal ball for brewing loose-leaf tea), cook it in the pot and then take the ball out before serving. You can do the same thing with cheese cloth or a coffee filter; take a coffee filter or a square of cheese cloth, place about a leaf's worth of crushed bay, then tie it into a sachet with a string. Cook it in the pot, then remove it before serving. Yum, jambalaya! Hope this helps!

What can I use as a bay leaf substitute?
Q. I'm making dinner tonight, and the recipe says I need a bay leaf, but I haven't found it at my local market. If anything, what can I use to substitute for it that'll still give the meat its flavor?

A. You can substitute 1/4 tsp. thyme for a bay leaf. They have a very similar taste.

What kind of bay leaves am I suppose to use to repel spiders?
Q. I used all natural dried bay leaves and broke them up and put them around, but I came across a daddy long leg spider so I placed one right near it and it did not do anything >.>
Asked by manderzz410 - Fri Jun 20 21:20:02 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I normally just used dried bay leaves, but I don't break them up at all. I change them out every three months, so I put them in the back of the pantry, but somewhere I can reach easy. I have not heard that they completely get rid of spiders, but I also bug spray the floor to make sure I have no problems!
