Yum........ ;D
YUM!!!!
Yum. None of that for me though until my homegrown tomatoes start producing. I can't abide the supermarket ones.
What kind of mayo do y'all like. Only Hellman's for me. Down south here they prefer Blue Plate which is OK or Miracle Whip which I think is an abomination.
No miracle whip here either
Hellman's mayo....our local market has vine ripened tomatoes, leave em the counter to keep their flavor....pretty decent too....but I like our home grown garden veggies better too. Especially the bell peppers....Mmmm, I stuff em....sheesh, now I can't wait....LOL
Peppers? I have 4 different varieties planted, red ones, yellow ones, purple ones and Poblano's which are green. It sure will be pretty in the veggie garden when things start ripening. As far as tomatoes I've planted Celebrity's and Romas. I'd like to try some of the heirloom varieties, but they're all the vine type and I prefer the determinant.
Yep, we have all the colors....and it does look nice when they all start coming in....we have nice little 'thai' peppers, and jalepinos too.....Mmmmm....pickles..he he...stuffed jalepino peppers on the grill (poppers) are delicious... ;D
Back to the BLT's... I had a huge one last night. Almost every Tuesday we go to the local hospital to eat dinner. Yep...I said hospital! There is a deli there that makes delicious food. Our little group of 4-6 neighbors goes. I've been getting the BLT for the last few weeks. She packs it high with bacon and slathers the mayonnaise on it for me! 'm not sure what brand it is, but it's goooooooood!
Speaking of mayonnaise, my wife won't have anything in our house but Best brand. I grew up in Va on Miracle Whip. Sometimes I really miss it so I have a jar kinda stuck back out of sight in the fridge for those longing moments when I just gotta have some of it!
I love the fresh tomatoes too. Darn, I'm getting hungry again. I think I'll go see what's lurking in the fridge beside the Miracle Whip!
I know what you mean,Ron...I like braunschweiger on toast with thin sliced sweet pickles/lettuce and Miracle Whip....delicious....or the braunschweiger with a thick slice of raw..and Miracle Whip...Mmmmm......the only other thing is grilled cheese sandwiches made with Velveeta and Miracle Whip.....other than that, it sits in wait.....LOL
Don't think I've ever had braunschweiger. I'll be looking for it around the area and give it a try.

Some folks call it liver sausage.....but it's a little different...good stuff
How do you guys not go into a coma? You must be on statins.
Uhhh.....What's a statin?
statins is cholesterol medication. I do like me some braunschweiger. I haven't had it in a long time. for mayo it's Hellman's I don't care much for Miracle Whip.

Miracle Whip is good on a few things, but we use mostly mayo...too
A nice bowl of oatmeal is about 100 times better for you and your cholesterol levels than statins will ever be. LOL My 93 year old Pop eats oatmeal probably 5 times a week..... with blue berries, straw berries, bananas, etc.

My natural cholesterol level is 167. I'm right around 90% vegan. If I were to eat a piece of Braunschweiger liver sausage I would literally pass out in around 30 minutes. This is because my level elevates to around 650 while the fats from the livers are in my blood stream. Then my brain can't get oxygen because my blood is full of fats instead. Ploop, out I go. It sounds kind of funny until it is realized that this event is a stroke. Actually any time you feel very sleepy after you eat fatty foods you are having a very mild stroke.
WOW, sorry to hear that Frank. You have my sympathy.

Turkey bacon too...???..
I eat what I choose. I haven't had bacon since last summer but when the tomatoes ripen I will eat bacon. What's the point of life if you can't enjoy what you love? I don't want to live forever. I want to enjoy what I love while I'm here.

Same here! As a country boy I can't imagine not eating pork, eggs and real butter. The staples of life. With my wife's poor health I have learned to eat on the "lite" side, but was raised on meat & potatoes daily.....
I can remember breakfast at my Pop's cousins farm..... whole hog sausage, thick cut bacon, fresh eggs, whole milk, thick slices of home baked bread slathered with real butter, and home fries, hash browns, or potato pancakes. That was good eating, but we worked our butts off too!
