Nothing like a BLT made with real fresh drippy tomatoes from the farmers market. Dripped all over my T-shirt so I now have to soak it in oxiclean to get the tomato stains out, but it was well worth it. It's going to be BLT week at our house this week! The first BLT of the season is worth a good cry.Well, I had my first bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, on thin sliced toasted Italian bread sandwhich of the season today.

Miss Kitty: Another great sandwich with fresh tomatoes is grilled ham, cheese, and tomato -- that's my lunch today because we ate all the bacon.
drsvelte: You can get nice fresh garden tomatoes in Michigan... They've been out only a few weeks and the Farmer's market is THE place to be on Wednesday and Saturday morning from now until end of September.

My mother has a garden too. I went to visit on Sunday and brought back a whole sack of beautiful red juicy sweet tomatos.
I am so envious! We are hard pressed to find decent tomatoes.

In Louisiana, our tomatoes are pooped. It simply way too hot - 96 today in BR. However, we are now planting for the fall crop.
BLTs are such a simple pleasure. I've loved them since childhood. Now another great comfort food when fresh tomatoes won't be available is the grilled cheese. How many variations on this classic can we come up with?

We might reach 95 degrees tomorrow. It's been hot hot hot this week. Guess where I just got back from? Yup, My Daddys. I got a big ole bag of maters. Some for frying and some for BLT's!!!Beach FanaticAuthor
Are fresh peaches available in Florida now? In Michigan, our peaches are just coming in (about 2 weeks now)... It's time to cook and freeze over the next month... peach chutney, peach jam, gazpacho, caponata (Italian tomato/eggplant/pepper spread), pesto, apple sauce in early October, and I'm hoping to try hot pepper jelly this year. I wish I could freeze BLTs with sunkissed tomatoes.

Paula, do you have a recipe for caponata? Also do you use green or red bell peppers in your pepper jelly?Thanks

I wish I could send you some of these. My friend has so many we are making vats 'o salsa.

cp: I'll get it for you soon. I'll be looking for the recipe so I can make it up in a few weeks. It freezes quite nicely for about 3-6 months. It gets us through the winter holidays very nicely!
