"blt" news and stories

A BLT is a sandwich made with bacon, lettuce and tomato and despite the fact that it has only three ingredients, it can really shine when the sandwich is well put-together with high quality components. In this case, Johanna, The Passionate Cook used some sesame seed bagels to create one of the finest sandwiches we've seen in a while: the BLT Bagel. It is topped with a mouthwatering combination of crispy pancetta, flavorful vine-ripened tomatoes, spring onions, cream cheese and german mustard. It seems like it would make a better choice for breakfast, than for lunch, if only because there is no way you could resist eating a sandwich that looked this good for that long.

From Grateful Palate, the brilliant folks that brought us the Bacon of the Month Club, come these bacon, lettuce and tomato scented votive candles. Justifying the need for the smell of bacon in one's home seems unnecessary, but nevertheless, the Grateful Palate offers this pitch: "You may want to light them in your kitchen, office or bedroom or wherever you seek sensual pleasure and enlightenment; by yourself or with someone special." I'd say that "someone special" is an understatement. If anyone responds favorably to your setting the mood with a bacon candle, then you're talkin' soul-mate. I still don't quite understand the "Bacon=Freedom" part, though. The set of three, which sells for $33.95, would seem to go against the hunger-quelling candles that Sarah posted about last month.
