Locavore BLTs


Saturday July 25

Findlay Market is finally getting some real summer produce in, though we are thankful for this cool July. So with our first Indiana melon (smuggled across the border at colossal expense), we made a simple plate of prosciutto e melone, by draping slices of Canadian prosciutto across. (Since we started living in St. Catharines, we count Canada as part of our locality. So sue us.)
The Farmers' Market also provided some wondrous heirloom tomatoes, inspiring us to make amazing BLTs out of: fresh Holt-baked brown bread, Holt-made mayonnaise, Barbara-grown-and-picked-in-the-mosquito-swarmed-garden lettuce, and bacon from... some pig. (It's been in our freezer for a year, does that make it local? No? So sue us.)
