Today's the deadline for the Michael Ruhlman BLT from Scratch Summertime challenge in which people attempt to grow their own tomatoes and lettuce, bake their own bread, cure their own pork belly and whip up some sort of emulsified sauce. All in the abbreviated name of building the ultimate version of the ultimate sandwich.
Sadly, the single red tomato on our vine looks just like quasimodo, the lettuce (arugula) is riddled with holes from caterpillar-bombing butterflies and with L and T out of the equation there isn't much hope for the rest.
But instead of backing out entirely, I've come up with my own fantasy BLT- from scratch - that is sure to have your mouth watering just as much as any of the other contest submissions.
Ladies and gentlemen, Kitchen Scraps is reluctant to present ...
I don’t know if I can look at lettuce the same way again.
Oohh..you’re a naughty bacon! What I wouldn’t do to get you in MY mouth!
This is hilarious. BLTs just got more interesting!
Dirty AND yummy. Love it.
