(B)ecause (L)ove (T)aste it is the last good sandwich of the season until the summer vines again run juice for the sun kisses fallen leaves for now I don’t toast the bread I like it soft the way it clings to my teeth in taste take my time spreading the mayo thick the tart tang flavors the sweet so right light leaves crisp and cool lie with hardy bacon lines in mapled hickory but the real heart here is tomatoes dirt ripened beauties thin skinned the color emotions run when high dripping things much better than good cut them thin and layer them thick top it with the other side of another harvest and I feel a twinge of sadness before I finish the last good sandwich of the season "Tough times never last...tough people do." carol gardner |

Droooooooooool I can almost see you savoring this. (tho i prefer mine toasted and light on the mayo) And a nice thing about a blt is the many kinds of bread that it works with. e |

OneSlick~ This is so clever .... and SCRUMPTIOUS SOUNDING~ Now I'm hungry ... doesn't happen often, but oh, how I love that BLT~ Heavy on the B, light on the toast, OR untoasted ... those scrumptious fresh T's from the garden ... and light on the bunny food~ If I keep writing, maybe I'll pass this craving mood~  Love it girl~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Sounds like my kind of BLT (minus the mayo) Clever writing Helen, and I loved the way it turned out like a heavenly delight. Where's desert? |

MMMMMMMM.... I haven't eaten more than an apple today and this makes me want to go eat one... And I agree.... the greenhouse tomatoes just don't have the same taste.... Field ripe tomatoes... dripping with nature, crisp lettuce... I prefer red leaf lettuce to the boring iceberg.... and bacon... half crisp... bread barely toasted... just golden warm.... and yes.. lots of mayo! Lovely to remember the taste... had one about a month ago. Thanks for the memory. Well written! Sherry |

I wish you could have seen the look on my face as I read the title. I am SO......slow! it was kinda like? hmmm... interesting title. What's this in parentheses? A code, perhaps? B... L... T... BLT? shake of the head as I read, YES. "BLT, Karen!" smacked my head hard! (I made a lousy waitress once.) and yes, irrestible, encoded or not! love and miss you h!  |

 "I like mine with lettuce and tomato Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes Big kosher pickle and a cold beer Well good God Almighty which way do I steer for my..." BLT in paradise! LOL!  (giggles) Only instead of the beer, I'd like a Pepsi Crystal and can I get jalapenos on the side? (giggles) This is soooooo cute and clever, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
