Sunday afternoon my husband made BLT’s for lunch (bacon-lettuce-tomato), and this is the only sandwich in which I like fresh tomatoes. I don’t mind tomatoes from the vine (with lots of salt), but I normally don’t like them in hamburgers or other sandwiches, and I never put them in my salads or tacos. Depending on the succulence of the tomato, they make bread soggy and generally don’t appeal to me except in a BLT.

 

I’m also particular in the way I prepare my BLT; no fancy layers or other elements. I like lightly toasted white bread, spread generously with mayonnaise. The first thing down is the bacon, and lots of it. The tomato follows, and I prefer it so thinly sliced that I can see through it. Lettuce comes last, and I add a sprinkle of pepper on top. The other slice of bread completes the sandwich, and I enjoy the entire delectable with a tall glass of cold milk.

 

Makes me hungry for them again just thinking about it…
