Remember how the weather was dreary and fogged in all the way to the middle of August, and then suddenly it got to be like 110F every day? Well, when that happens, all the sad little tomatoes shivering on their vines in Warner Springs suddenly immediately grow up, burst out in flavor and demand to be picked immediately.
As a result, Bruce from Wingshadows Hacienda showed up today with 400 pounds of heirloom tomatoes. We go through, like, 100 pounds a week. There’s no way we could get through these before they are no longer excellent. So tomorrow, a bunch of us are going to get up early and can all our overstock so we have them in winter.
However, if you we can sell a bunch of these BLT’s tonite, that’s just a little less work we have to do in canning tomorrow. So, come on in, help us out.
Fortunately, the sandwich is pretty bomb. The aforementioned heirloom tomatoes, butter lettuce also from Wingshadows Hacienda, house cured Berkshire breed bacon from Eden Farms, house made mayonnaise from pastured chicken eggs, and house baked beer bread. Served with organic potato salad. So I know you can really contribute to this effort.
Once you’ve savored the BLT, you can enjoy these wings with a heightened sense of well-being.
