BLT

Yesterday, I harvested a couple of baskets of ripe tomatoes.  Some are peeled and frozen.   I've had many tomato creations, but no BLT's.

Yesterday when I went grocery shopping I bought bacon specifically to make myself a BLT for lunch today.

So I sliced my tomato, got out my bread rounds, and cooked the bacon in the microwave oven.

While the bacon was cooking, I decided that the tomatoes needed some salt and pepper.  I was closer to the spice roll around cabinet than I was to the table, where one can also find salt and pepper.  Instead, I reached into the spice cabinet and first poured on some salt.   After that, I reached for the pepper and added that.

Soon the bacon was done and I put that on top of the tomatoes.  I took a bite.  I have never tasted such an awful BLT in my whole life!  It was truly terrible.

I thought there was a taste in there that was vaguely familiar.  I opened it and smelled.   I had mistaken the pepper for the Allspice.   Their can shapes and colors are similar.   Obviously, I did not look carefully at the box, which is not at eye level.

If you ever want to completely spoil a BLT, that's a sure way to do it.  Yuk!
