i might agree with ruhlman that the guy who harvested his own salt:

Fun read. Thanks for posting that! Little Emma made the ultimate "from
scratch" BLT. Cured her own bacon, grew her own tomatoes and lettuce,
then made her own bread and mayo. :-)

Can't get more basic than that... Her mom is teaching her well.

Did you read her text with the pictures? Many of them were "test"
shots to check the light, exposure etc. Several are good shot/bad
shot comparisons. In every case she says WHY one shot is so much
better than the other. I learned a lot - bearing in mind that I
haven't shot a photo in 20 years!

Reminds me of the parody "Is Martha Stewart Living?" in which she made
her own water for one recipe. Add two quarts hydrogen to one quart
oxygen -- it's hard to keep the hydrogen in a bowl, but if you're
Martha, you can do it.

I'm not sure how bell pepper meets a "BLT" recipe, But the cherry
tomato, rustic bread, and bacon meet my basic needs. I'd just add a
smear of mayo at the end, and a chunk of lettuce like romaine heart that
had also been toasted or grilled, that would make me happy.

I'm drooling now... stepping away from the keyboard...

I thought your picture and sandwich were wonderful.

australia would be more plausible than the u.s. typically, you can't take
anything from parks here that you didn't bring in. i don't think australia
is yet that tightly regulated.

Hi all. I made that winning blt. Thanks for all the positive feedback.
As for the herbs, they are easy to find if you know where to look in
Sydney. I know where a couple bay trees grow, pink peppercorn trees
are planted along roads in parks all over the city, and thyme,
rosemary, mint, scented geraniums, lavender, and a whole slew of other
herbs are used in the city's landscaping. Actually, as of last week,
there was a temporary garden installation outside town hall in the CBD
which was made up mostly of herbs and edible plants. I'm not
suggesting you run down and pick them all, but I can't imagine that
anyone would mind you picking a leaf or two of oregano and having a
sniff/taste/cook.

I only needed a tiny bit of each for the project.

Take care,
Jerad

Jerad, thanks for chiming in about your BLT! And congratulations on
your win!

After reading this, I'm of a mind to press for culinary herbs in all
our public green spaces here in Cow Hiull, TX. Might as well grow
stuff that tastes good if we're going to spend money on landscaping,
right?

There is Rosemary and Salvia all over town here in the city landscaping.

Cool. But a lot of what goes by the botanical name salvia is not a
culinary herb.

I was thinking of thyme, basil, sage (salvia), lemon verbena,
Provençal lavender, etc. for our local plantings. Know what I mean?
