Toms BLT!

I became a fan of the All-American Bacon Lettuce & Tomato sandwich at Schrafft's Restaurants in the Big Apple. Alas Schrafft's is no more! This recipe is my version of the traditional sandwich. I use cracked wheat bread that also contains sunflower seeds from a local grocery store. Makes a great toast! To this I add my special “secret sauce” revealed here for the first time. My B.W. and I play a little word game about this sauce as she accuses me of keeping secrets from her and I pretend that “It’s Secret”! J
Serves 1
2 slices of cracked wheat bread toasted. Set aside.
3 pieces of “turkey bacon” or preferred halved & fried crisp. Set aside.
1 or 2 slices of a ripe tomato. Set aside.
1 leaf of lettuce. Set aside.
1 dash of sea salt.
1 dash of fresh ground pepper.

For the no longer “secret sauce” topping:
2 tablespoons Mayonnaise. “Light” or” regular”, makes no never mind.
1 dash of garlic powder or a clove of fresh finely minced.
1 table spoon of cooking Sherry.
Mix the three ingredients in a small bowl and stir vigorously.

Assemble the sandwich in your preferred order and add the “not so secret sauce”.
Salt and pepper to taste. Cut in half.
Serve with some kind “chips” as preferred.

That’s it! Enjoy!

I used a recipe that called for a pork roast but substituted pork chops as an experiment. The overall recipe result was excellent. I used pork chops that were about a ½” thick and they shrank quite noticeably. That is why I changed the amount of pork chops and the thickness. I will definitely use this recipe again soon! Makes four servings. I rate it Five Stars out of Five Stars! ·          3 or 4  Pork Chops – One or two inches thick ·          2 Tbsp oil ·          1 onion, thinly sliced ·          8 oz fresh sliced mushrooms ·          8 oz tomato sauce ·          8 oz pineapples chunks with juice ·          4 Tbsp brown sugar - rounded ·       ...

This recipe came to me from my good friends Ken & Sandra Posten. They are retired near Ringgold GA, Thanks guys! The Posten’s rate this recipe as “Excellent”! I have yet to try it but I plan to either on the coming Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays! Whichever comes first! J  Here is what one website says about Old Fashioned Tea Cakes: “ Food and memories are so intertwined in southern cooking that just the mention of things like  fried pies ,  drinking custard , picking  blackberries  for cobbler and preserves, or  biscuit bread , can bring back a flood of memories associated with loved ones long past. If there is one single food that invokes that excitement for Southerners though it surely must be a Southern Tea Cake .” Yields: 3 – 4 dozen cookies. 1 cup sugar ½ cup butter, softened 2 eggs beaten 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon milk (optional) ½ teas...
