LOL - Bacon has its own food group! :-)

Nothing beats a BLT in the summer. Bacon, home grown tomato, and leafy crisp lettuce w/mayo between two slices of bread.

They’re eaten in the winter as well. The home grown tomatoes replaced by any one might find.

You bet!! Mr. Upc keeps suggesting having BLTs but I always say no. Just like strawberries, I wait for the REAL thing, fresh out of my garden. Strawberries and tomatoes from the supermarket are a poor substitute for the picked and eaten same day produce from my garden. Some things are O.K. from the big stores, but not tomatoes and strawberries.

Fresh tomatoes, topped with a slice of cheese on a bagel toasted for a few seconds under the broiler-yum.Grilled cheese,bacon and tomato sandwich,a slice of tomato,cheese and bacon on a bar-b-qued burger-all foods to die for. Mr. Upc had been unable to eat tomatoes because of diverticulitus. A couple of years ago Burpee came out with seeds for a seedless tomato and I started raising 6-8 plants every year for him. He is just delighted as he loves them more than I do, eating them quartered with a dollop of mayo on each quarter.
