Just a quick note to say that we have officially accepted the
Ruhlman Challenge to make a BLT from scratch. Now there is scratch and there is scratch. We are not going to grow the pig for the bacon. That comes from our friends at
Nature's Harmony We are not growing the wheat for the bread, raising the chickens and pressing oil for the mayo, or anything like that. Once and for all--we have limits here.
Here's how far we are willing to go:
1. home-cured pork belly (it is working in the fridge now--photos to come).
2. tomatoes from the garden (right now the cherry tomatoes are looking like the most likely contenders)
3. "lettuce" in Georgia in the high summer is a challenge. We will substitute Malabar, which tolerates the heat well
4. mayonaise (with locally produced eggs)
5. home-made bread
