B.L.T.

There is something about that summer tomato.

You know… the real, fresh picked, not purchased in a chain super market, tomato.

I could never understand the person who despised the tomato. Until I moved to the Midwest… and our state lacks the real thing for half the year. The difference between the garden tomato and store bought tomato is mind blowing.

Yes I just referred to a tomato as mind blowing…

Like summer’s candy.

And sometimes mind blowing summer candy makes you buy bison bacon.

And then of course, you make BLTs…!

So poignant, as Olive is a humper. Yep I said it. She humps. We are still working on this behavioral issue…

2) Check out a new to you Brewery:

5) Once having your fill of beer, head to 1029 bar for lobster mac and cheese. Annnnd put some bacon on it.

Four of us shared this, it did not stand a chance.

And that is what I like to call a proper celebration 🙂
