I'm swiping this idea from Lisa at Comfort Food (whose blog, from San Diego County, is only a couple of weeks old): "season-inappropriate cooking."Lisa's examples are strawberry scones in the fall, and steaming-hot chili in the summer.
I know exactly what she's talking about. But today's lunch was not inspired so much by a quirky craving as it was by two simple facts: The tomatoes were really red, really ripe, really juicy. And dammit, I'm not ready to say goodbye to them yet, not if I don't have to.
The lettuce is the last gasp from my patio crop, fresh as imaginable and deep in flavor. The bread came from this morning's farmers' market. Mayo: Best Foods.
We used a couple of new (to me) kinds of bacon on the sandwiches, a sort of taste-off tribute to the Food Bloggers' Picnic of last summer. And, uh, Biggles... I'm going back to Wellshire Farms bacon, from Whole Foods.
Bacon!! anytime... anywhere

That's it. I'm waiting for our first ass-freezingly cold day and making margaritas.
ReplyDeleteDamn--that looks good! You might be well on your way to another photo award!
ReplyDeleteShow off. : )
ReplyDeleteMmmm - BLT! Good any season. I have a nice contrast for you, tho it is not strictly cooking-related--more in the consuming mode. In a hot shower, drink cold beer or ale out of a chilled pilsner glass. The cool goes all the way down and in to the core of your being! Best in the summer, tho I leave you to be the judge of that!
ReplyDeleteDing ding ding ding ding! We have another winning recipe, and it's Jillie's again!

Mrs D: Guffaw!! :D
Greg: But not just any bacon!
Farmgirl: Yeah, we still have tomatoes. But you have lamb shanks (jealous).
