First BLT of the Year...Homemade bacon and Home Grown tomatoes.

[indaswamp]

I have been looking forward to this sandwich since I put salt to the slab back in Late January. This is bacon from the 1/2 pig I bought to make Salumi. The Lady I buy my yard eggs from gave me some of her fresh home grown tomatoes. I used Nature's own butter bread which is one of the more healthy options available. 2 slices =28g. carbs....but that is really the only carbs. I have had today to speak of. But Damn! Is this good!!!

*YES....I did lick the plate to get all the tomato juice, mayo, and bacon grease....I will admit it...LOL!!!

Yup, that as close to heaven as we can get in this life. My mater plants are just starting to make small tomatoes. But yes, this is what we live for.

Thanks Eric! I should have fresh tomatoes in the next 7-10 days. I have a lot of fruit setting now so should get a good crop of maters this year.

Gosh dern, that just hits home right there. Thats a tuff one to beat when it's built like that.

REpost when they are your maters?
Jealous as garden fresh tomato is my favorite sandwiches. BLT is the first. Second is a burger off the grill.
I'm weeks away from garden tomatoes.

Looks good!
What type of tomatoes?

 

[G8trwood]

Damn! Good bacon and a real tomato, mmmm. Where’s the sourdough?

 

[gmc2003]

Looks fantastic Keith. My only suggestion would be go with weave and get a half pound or even a full pound of bacon on that sandwich.

I have a half pound of bacon on this one and you can still bite it without unlocking your jaw.


Point for sure

Thanks bigfurmn. Saltiness from the bacon, and that flavor you just can't buy in a home grown tomato....pure heaven!

I do not know, these tomatoes were given to me, and I did not ask.

Funny...should have known someone would ask! LOL! My 2nd cousin actually bakes homemade sourdough and sells it. I can make it, but don't want to keep sourdough around the house being keto-I'd eat the whole dang loaf in one day! LOL!

Looks fantastic Keith. My only suggestion would be go with weave and get a half pound or even a full pound of bacon on that sandwich.

Keith and Chris, both look fantastic. Keith those tomatoes look perfect! Wow! Cant grow anything where I live with out an animal proof green house, the Kroger tomatoes always leave a lot to be desired.

You might have made me change my lunch plans, will have to buy a tomato as ours are just flowering.
@gmc2003 is that cheese on that weave?

 

[flatbroke]

my favorite tomato is Ketchup but the one in your picutre looks really good. so does the bacon
