Bob makes an excellent mayo, and once made a fat-free faux mayo (I think
he used celery root on that one).

But, in the Mayo vs. Miracle Whip debate, I prefer mayo. MW is
icky-sweet. He likes MW well enough, but funny, I haven't seen any
purchased since he married me. ;-)

So, all this talk of BLTs and it has me changing my mind (again) on what
to have for dinner. I have some lovely whole chicken breasts marinating
in a light soy/ginger/garlic/wine/EVOO mixture and I need to get that on
the grill fairly soon. With fresh grilled corn on the cob!

I just can't shake how good a BLT with avocado sounds, with a little
soup on the side. I've got everything here for that. And it's certainly
easier to prepare.

Decisions, decisions.
