Feast Your Eyes: Homemade, local BLT

a homemade, local BLT
One of the true delights of summer is that you can finally achieve the perfect BLT. You see, any other time of the year, the bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich (on toasted white bread with mayonnaise) can never quite reach greatness, because without that thinly sliced, perfect ripe tomato, it is inherently subpar (good bacon can make up for many ills, but even it can't redeem a bad tomato).

Matthew has reached the pinnacle of BLT perfection, with the sandwich you see above. The bread and mayo are homemade. The bacon, tomatoes and greens are all local. And the toast has the ideal hue. I can just imagine how wonderfully delicious this sandwich was. If you have not had such a sandwich this season, do yourself a favor and make one for dinner tomorrow night.

Thanks for adding this gorgeous pic to the Slashfood Flickr pool, Matthew!

Once you take this step it is a short distance to a Club sandwich. I always let a restaurant make them but home-made would be better. Talk about a balance of protein, veggy goodness, and carbs - mmmmm.
