Today was the day that the first tomato was ripe enough to eat. So what did meal we choose to honour the first tomato of the season?
BLT's of course. But not just any BLT, oh no. One made with fresh, delicious homemade french bread.
It unfortunately occurred to me AFTER I finished making the bread that I should have taken pictures and posted the recipe for my "Life from
Scratch" blog...duh. Oh well, next time. For now, I'll just make you drool with pictures of the finished product...

The BLT's turned out absolutely delicious. The tomato was so sweet and juicy, the flavour actually overwhelmed the taste of the bacon, and THAT'S saying something. On another page, I have my list of
goals, in which I talk about having a farm with animals and gardens. I believe I will have really achieved my goal when I can make a BLT 100% from scratch. Tomatoes and lettuce from my garden, bacon from my own pigs, mayonaise made from eggs from my chickens, and bread made with wheat from my fields. THAT is my goal. Our BLT's today weren't 100% homemade, but it's a step in the right direction and holy-moly they were good.
