A Better Bacon Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich

So lately, I’ve been on this giant egg-on-a-sandwich kick.  When I made this BLT last week, I couldn’t help frying up an egg and putting it on top.  I wish I would have taken a cross-section photo because let me tell you, it was gorgeous – but the sandwich was too good to stop eating it and sorry to say, food comes before photos.  There is also a slice of pepper jack cheese under the lettuce.  Man, what a great sandwich that was.  I want to eat another one after looking at this photo but I ran out of focaccia bread.  The bread, oh hey, I made the bread!  It’s super good.  Let me show you the recipe.  It is here, at King Arthur.  I didn’t have any pizza dough flavor, so I added 1/2 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1/2 tablespoon of dried minced onions, and a few sprinkles of basil.  The recipe is in the egg post below as well, because bread you see, is multipurpose.

Hmm… would it be wrong of me to whip up a few slices of bacon for an afternoon snack right now?

Garden Update!

I have 5 tomato plants this year, this is the most tomatoes I’ve seen on a single branch.

These are the heirloom tomatoes, getting pretty big!!

 

The only living zucchini plant has bloomed! Three flowers so far.
The lettuce is growing so fast that I can’t eat it fast enough. I’ve been garnishing all my dishes with lettuce. HALP HALP! Eat my lettuce!!!

 

Plants update


My Strawberries are turning red and they look delicious!

This is a big sucker. (That’s what she said)

Some pretty clovers that bloomed, yes I know this is a WEED and I should probably weed it, but it’s pretty so I took a picture.

My tomatoes are flowering! These are the two plants I planted in early may, the weather has been cool here, so they haven’t grown as big as I hoped.

The beginning of the lettuce plants. Nom nom spring greens!

The peas are flowering nicely. They are climbing the vine I staked for them, and the tendrils are weaving all the plants together nicely. I can’t wait to have some snap peas and then some pea shoots as well!

I hope my one zucchini plant will survive, Freya (my husky/malamute mix) got into the garden, dug up one of the two zucchini plants I just put into the ground, and put her butt in the hole. She loves doing that to keep cool, but obviously it killed one of my zucchini plants. I have two more to plant so maybe I’ll just do that. In the meantime, I’ve roped off the little section of fence that she used to get into the garden so now my plants are safe!
