The BLT

My favorite sandwich would have to be a BLT sandwich, with mayo and yellow mustard, on toasted whole wheat bread. Yummy! For those of you who are challenged in the language of abbreviations, a BLT is a Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwich. I remember visiting my Grandma and Grandpa Breseman one summer (I think we were in Michigan somewhere, they lived there and in Florida). It is sad that a lot of my memories are moth eaten, full of holes. Most of my memories that are still in my brain involve food, however. Back to the story... Visiting Grandma and Pa "B"... We all went to lunch and I ordered a BLT. I still remember that BLT for it was the first time I ever partook in a toasted BLT. I am not sure whether I had added the mustard in later years or not. But I do remember that this was the first time it was toasted. From then on, I became a BLT junkie! And if we were in Michigan, I was pretty young. I will have to ask my mom about that one.

So after that long intro to the main point of this entry... I give you a couple shots of our garden.

Behold, the garden tomato! This beautiful Roma tomato plant is already sporting 1-2 inch long fruit. Paul planted five tomato plants this year and they are all thriving. The best part is that here is the Bluegrass Region, we get two crops, one in Summer and one in Fall. A garden tomato is just what the doctor ordered for the perfect BLT! Here is a shot from our lettuce patch. We planted a mix, so we have no clue what variety anything is, but it sure looks pretty. Again, perfect for a BLT!
And now the bacon.... Sorry, no shots of our pig, which we are going to fatten up and slice into bacon strips for our BLT's!!!

Now if I only had the energy to bake my own bread... Nah!
