BLT of the Day

Tomato: Persimmon
Bacon: Niman Ranch
Bread: Costco store-baked Whole Grain and Mini-Baguette (more like a mini-boule). Ran out of whole-grain bread and had to make up the deficit with the baguette.
Lettuce: Store-bought Romaine hearts
Mayonnaise: Hellman's mixed with Boetje's Mustard and Hall's Honey

Results: Persimmon tomatoes make perfect sandwich slices, Niman Ranch is my current favorite bacon, and the mayo-mustard-honey makes a great BLT sauce. Good sandwich!

Labels: bacon, tomatoes

BLT of the Day

Yesterday's lunch BLT.

Bread: Whole Grain store-baked from Costco, sliced very diagonally to get large enough slices to fit the tomato
Bacon: Edwards'
Tomato: Mortgage Lifter
Mayonnaise: Trader Joe's Organic Mayonnaise mixed with minced Serrano peppers and garlic, and a splash of lime juice
Lettuce: None, substituted Thai basil leaves

The verdict: Tasty, but the chile/garlic/lime mayonnaise pushed the flavor too far away from the classic BLT. I do think that mayo mixture would make an admirable tuna salad though.
