BLOT. As follows

1. The spread: best mayo u can find. Lemon zest & juice. Grated garlic & favorite pepper. Oragano, salt & pepper.

2. The bread: wheat or whole grain. None of that bleached stuff

3. The bacon: must be thick slices and in equal wieght. To the tomato

4. The onion: razor thin. Slices of red onion

5. The greens: I like shreaded iceberg

6. The tomato: the best of the best in your garden at that time

7. The build: bread/spread/greens/bacon/spread/ bread/spread/tom/onion/bacon/spread/bread

Yes a triple decker

I just made a BLAT.. yum!

I despise mayo and creamy condiments - sometimes I substitute pesto, but not with avocado...

Thick, multigrain, artisan homebaked bread, toasted to resist the tomato juices for a minute.

A zillion pieces of apple smoked bacon (since I can't find Niman Ranch bacon locally)

Red-leaf lettuce (I usually prefer mixed greens or arugula, but I'm out of those. As long as it's not iceberg, which is a waste of space.)

I used a persimmon tomato, pinch of sea salt. Tomorrow it will be a lemon boy.

One avocado, sliced.

HEAVEN!!!

Why is it that a BLT is always better on plain 'ol cheap toasted white bread?
Of course it HAS to be slathered with mayo!

BLT reciepe: 2 slices of white Butternut bread miracle whip on both pieces, a thick slice of a 6 inch diameter tomato (so it sticks out on all sides of the bread), 5 slices of extra thick country bacon that stick out on both ends of your BLT. Then set back and open wide and enjoy.

Lettuce is wasted space on a sandwich, unless it's a dark green one, and even then, I find it superfluous more often than not. Crunch comes from bacon, and maybe (if so taken by the mood) from a bit of onion.

Now yesterday: turkey bacon, big slice of Early Goliath that was almost beyond-ripe, Miracle Whip, and a slice of American cheese on wheat-white. Simple, classic and gone in 30 seconds.

As always, the newspapers are full of tomato recipes this time of year. Here's one from the NY Times:

http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2...o-sliders/?hpw

Sounds like a lot of work, and I don't know if I'd like it any better than a straight up tomato sandwich on good, fresh bread, but they sure do look pretty.

Toasted NY City onion bagel, cooked bacon, homegrown lettuce, homegrown tomato, Mayo. If you don't need a bath after eating a BLT you are doing something wrong.

I was almost out of mayo, so it barely got beyond my elbows. Oh, well. Better luck next time.

Nice recipe I improvised last night:

Ingredients:
Baguette, Goat Cheese, Tomatoes and Fresh herbs

Slice the baguette in half to make two halves of a sandwich
Spread Goat Cheese on both halves
add sliced tomatoes on one side and sprinkle with a dash of salt
Add fresh herbs(I used rosemary, but basil would also work)

Bake in the oven at 375 until bread is toasted(5-10 minutes typically)
