I almost never buy bacon--too expensive, too unhealthful, too tempting . . . but I can't let the summer go by without a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich.
And as there were beautiful Cherokee Purple tomatoes at the store . . . well, what could I do?
Toast and mayo, lettuce and salt and pepper. At this time of year my FB feed is full of arguments as to which is the correct mayonnaise --Hellmans or Dukes are the top contenders, but I always make my own. (I grew up in a family fiercely loyal to Hellmans.) Miracle Whip? Mention it not.
The sandwiches, along with some leftover potato salad, made a perfect hot-weather supper. And as a bonus, bacon drippings to save for making cornbread--when it gets cool enough to think about cornbread.
