Wash the backbones well. Put them in a large pot cover with water, and add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the meat is tender. When the meat is done remove it from the pot and cool slightly. Take the meat off the bones and add it back to the pot. Add rice, onion, celery and garlic. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Cook over medium/low heat until the rice is done. If it gets too dry while cooking, just add a little more water. The final dish should be juicy and moist.
