The TURNER - BACON, LETTUCE, MUENSTER, & ONION SANDWICH
*Our twist on the classic BLT which we made last week (inspired by food pins) & will now be a monthly staple

2 // Pieces of Wheat Bread

2 // Pieces of Muenster Cheese

1 // Handful of Your Favorite Lettuce
[Romaine here please!]

3 // Pieces of Bacon - or - Turkey Bacon - or - Veggie Bacon
[Trader Joe's Applewood Smoked is thick & substantial; perfect for this dish]

1 // Handful of Chopped, Sliced, or Diced Red Onions
[John prefers his sliced & large; I like mine to be diced very, very small]

///

We cooked the bacon on the stove in our grill pan, warmed our bread in the toaster, & used mayonnaise as the cohesive element. Assemble according to your preference.

Ours was perfect, but would also be good with other additions such as tomato, vinegar, pickle, etc. Serve with sweet potato fries. Enjoy!

Something to Die For



This new album, Something to Die For by The Sounds,  got me through the last part of my trip to the Orient. Long days filled with appointments and long car rides from one city to the next were made easier with my new favorite songs:

Better Off Dead

Something to Die For

Yeah Yeah Yeah

The Best of Me

Wish You Were Here


I hadn't heard any of their recent music since I saw them perform at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia while touring for their current album at the time, Living in America. It's nice to be reintroduced to their synthesizer-filled, poppy beats to which you cannot resist tapping your feet or full on dancing by yourself.
