bacon mayo BLT
(no, really, this post has no kittens.)
So everyone who picks up the Fat book at the store somehow magically turns to the page that has the recipe for the BLT made with bacon mayonnaise.
On Friday I failed utterly to get my ass in gear and cook the lamb shanks I'd brought home (Nathan cooked them this week and they were amazing), so we made ourselves a batch of hurricanes (because it was time to watch the TORNADO episode of AMC), I cooked up some bacon and got out my whisk and made bacon mayo.
OMG. I'm sure it helped that it was (duh) Fatted Calf bacon fat and the yolk of a Soul Food chicken's egg, but, holy crap, this was the best mayo EVER. Slathered on Oatnut toast with lots of bacon and pretty yellow heirloom tomatoes, I don't think I've ever had a better BLT. Go make this NOW.
Okay, I lied. Here are some sweet sleeping kittens.

Between the bacon and the kittens I think I am going to explode!!

The bacon mayo was awesome. We ate what was left after the sandwiches by itself on toast.

Well, the kittens are precious. I'm all for kittens in every post.
The mayo sounds delicious, and I neither ear bacon nor like mayo, so that is saying something.
