The marvelous Ms. Dee Dee, so very loved by Sumner, is pictured above after she gave him a rawhide to work on. A few days later, she brought him a ball that made him pretty happy:
She most generously offered some fresh garden tomatoes to the Roediger House. That sent me on a quest for the best late summer use of them that suited the mood and the moment. That led me to a recent post from the clever, dependable, and accessible J. Kenji López-Alt on The Best BLT.
The occasion seemed to require extra special steps, like making homemade English muffin toasting bread for the first time.
Oven-baked bacon for a crowd saved me some effort normally devoted to tending a skillet and soaking up a smell of bacon fat...and also gave me perfectly flat and crisp strips.
Cheese for those who wanted it, and mayo for other partisans, once I'd toasted the bread slices in the skillet either with bacon fat or butter...and you have these lettuce-less masterpieces, which were excellent the Saturday before last.
