Come On, Come On…
I’ve been good all year. I haven’t purchased or eaten bacon since the end of the tomato season last year. In an effort to keep bacon a seasonal delight and something to look forward to; I have a self imposed bacon restriction where I will only eat when the tomatoes are coming off my plants.
We started late this year, but the tomatoes caught up quickly in the green house. It was looking good a couple weeks ago so I bought some bacon in anticipation, but the tomatoes never seemed to ripen. My Beefsteak variety just sits on the vine, green. However there is a glimmer of hope. The cherry tomatoes are ripening at a rapid rate. So I broke down and made my first BLT with cherry tomatoes.
It was a perfect moment.

The short people and I foraged in Mammy's garden yesterday too. Her cherry tomatoes or SUWHEET!
If I like tomatoes, I would probably have drooled all over my keyboard. As it is, I raised an eyebrow at the thought of bacon, but that's all. I do wish you and your arteries luck with the ripening, tho. You've been so good all year you deserve it.
oh. my. goodness. gracious.
I always have bacon in my fridge!
Guy, you prevent yourself in partaking of SO many fun activities. Really, you should do bacon more often.
Auntie, they are good for something.
Darev, that's why I only do it while tomatoes are ripe and not the rest of the year.
Amy, you have little discipline ; )
Pam, YOU have NO discipline.
That sounds good. Haven't had bacon in many years.
We do exactly the same: No bacon all year; but I'm afraid we almost make up for that when the tomatoes are producing.
Tango, time to come out of that shell and have some.
Donna, I have it so fixed in my mind now that it is only for summer eating that I the smell nearly sickens me if I smell it in the winter. Sorry to hear about your hay getting ruined. It's tricky timing it right.
