We Don't Need No Stinking Recipe - Here Is Your BLT for Brunch

Ahhhhh, the simple majesty of the humble BLT. Albertsons had Dudley's German Black Bread in
stock. They carry Dudley's breads but it's sometimes hard to find the GBB. It's just not as popular as say Deli Onion Rye or San Diego Sourdough. Or my breakfast go to for special times: Date Nut Raisin.

German Black Bread typically means toasted tomato sandwiches. I've loved tomato sandwiches ever since Grandma turned me on to them. That and onion sandwiches with butter. I loved the Harriet The Spy series from the 60s, and the only sandwich Harriet would eat was tomato sandwiches. Her mother despaired of ever getting her to eat something else at school for lunch, but nope, Harriet stood her ground. The difference is that I like to toast the bread.

But today, it will be BLT. Or in my case, BLTO. I like to add onion.

I had three peppercorn bacon in the freezer, left over from Colonel Mustard's last visit. Picked up some beauteous heirloom tomatoes at my favorite Tomato Donna's store (little Ava, her granddaughter, named for Gardner, just turned two. 12/12/12. They celebrated her birthday on 12/13/14. Cute!). I had lovely red leaf lettuce left over from the farm stand run on Wednesday. I was all set!

I also could not resist dropping a Julian boysenberry apple pie in the cart.

Ok, off to eat and drool over my new Mexico: The Cookbook addition to the cookbook library. If anyone needs me later, I'll be taking a long post-breakfast nap!
