Summer Classic

What else would I do with the baked bacon at this time of year?

BLAT, of course, on lightly toasted milk bread*. Crisp romaine lettuce, ripe summer 'matie, baked bacon, creamy avocado, a scrape of mayo and a drop or two of lemon juice.

Summer. Bring it on.

*I buy this bread in the little grocery down the hill. It's the best white bread I have tasted since Pepperidge Farm was sold to some huge conglomerate and the recipe changed drastically. This bread is baked in Berkeley (no bakery name on the wrapper) and has no preservatives, as you can see from the tiny spot of mold growing on the crust. If I don't freeze it or eat it up in a week, I am culturing cures for exotic diseases.
