Bless me father for I have sinned. I ate TWO BLT sandwiches this evening. This is the first of my tomato confesssions.  I admit to being a repeat offender. 

When my very first slicing tomato ripened I called my friend and author Pat Martin and said OK I’m throwing some bacon in the pan – you’re invited.

Happiness is the spontanaety of a good friend

Since then, my BLT fixins have been waiting for the next ripe slicing tomato. For the next tomato adventure.

My mom made a big deal out of BLT’s. I think that is where the ceremony comes from for me

Great ingredients make a super BLT 

I used a 12 grain sourdough tonight. Toasted.

A bit of safflower mayo.

I used a reduced salt nitrate free bacon, turkey bacon works in a pinch and for the vegetarians try throwing a piece of provolone in a dry pan, cook until it’s bubbly and dry – tastes like bacon!

I sliced the tomato extra thin, topped with fresh cracked black pepper and sea salt

I stacked baby spinach leaves for my greens, red leaf lettuce is sublime too!

Oh my gosh.  Summer Delicious!
