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!
