How Do You Improve Perfection?

-
Tonight we were just going to have BLT's for dinner. After a week of fixing "complicated orders" for our friend from Wales, we wanted something quick, easy and delicious...hence the BLT's. But then Angela asked me to make some guacamole and that got me thinking, which is always dangerous.

My train of thought went something like this...
Thanks to the tip from one of my sisters, I know avacados are good on BLT's.
Guacamole is 99% avacado, so maybe it is good on BLT's. But what could I replace the mayo with? How 'bout some of the crema we used on the fish tacos we made earlier in the week? So that's what we did. By the way, crema is part mayo, part sour cream, a dash of lime juice, a sprinkle of cilantro, a zesting of garlic, and a full helping of AWESOME!

Okay so picture one is all the required ingredients, minus the bread.






Spread on the crema.

mmmm, BACON.




Lettuce and Tomato come to the party too!


Finally, pile on some home-made, chunky guacamole.



Eat and Bask in the Glory!!!!!

This is really a good sandwich.  The buttery avacado offsets the crunchy bacon while the hint of lime, freshness of the cilantro and kick of garlic bring the flavor profile to the next level.

We are still contemplating a name for this great sandwich.  Its either going to be "Baja BLT" since it was inspired by baja fish tacos or "Knocked Up BLT" since the flavors are knocked up a level compared to a regular BLT.  It'll be on the menu of our restaurant (whenever that happens).  And since this sandwich is destined for greatness,  let it be known now and forever that we are the originators!

Bon appetite y'all.

Am I in a circus, or what?

-
It's 9:00pm and I'm reflecting on the day. I'm super tired, but I can't go to bed yet on account of Milla's last feeding for the day (scheduled around 10:00pm or so). I can't help but laugh now that I look back on the events of the day, but I was ready to grab the keys and my purse around 4:00pm. Forget any luggage, I'd just charge everything I need or want when I hit my destination-- wherever that was going to be (probably the first of the Florida Keys for some Key Lime Pie). Did I mention I was going to go alone? Maybe I'd take Milla. . . Let me set the scene for you. . .It's 4:00pm, I've been watching the neighbor's two kids since 11:00am. Yes that's a total of 5 kids-- did I mention I have a one month old? Being the thoughtful wife that I am I decided to make chocolate banana bread so Ty could enjoy a nice warm treat. It's Milla's feeding time and Ty has decided to go down for a nap, so I'm trying to keep all the ...

Family Photos

Ya know how families tend to have a theme when its time to take the annual family picture? Don't know what I'm talking about? Picture Mom, Dad, and all eight kids dressed in faux cowboy shirts with those mother of pearl buttons, blue jeans, and cowboy boots and to top it off, they are all sporting home-made denim vests and cowboy hats. Everybody from teen-age Billy right down to the still-in-diapers toddler all dressed exactly alike. The family is neatly arranged on bales of hay with a cheap looking barn back drop. Get the picture? Anyway, I think I found a family photo that takes the cake...and no, this is not us or anybody I know...its from the internets, so feel free to laugh AT them!
