Bacon Times Three BLT

You read the title right, bacon in three different components of the BLT.  I may have a death wish or just need fatty food to motivate me to break out my running shoes.  Either way, this is an indulgent BLT worth trying!  Obviously way one is going to be crispy (only way) bacon.  Second, toasting up fresh slices of bread in the pan used to cook the bacon to get all of the crispy bits of flavor left behind.  And third?  Oh third is the best.

BACON FAT MAYONNAISE!  Normal mayo just has plain old oil but Toasty mayo goes full tilt fat kid crazy.  Just 3 tablespoons of bacon fat drizzled in and a pinch or two of smoked salt (new favorite, thanks Giada!) make the mayo smoky and full of bacony depth.  Add a couple of cloves of roasted garlic, because I always have a few on hand in my freezer, and it is my paradise.

Guys, it is just about the simple things.  Plump tomatoes, crunchy fresh greens, fresh bread from the French ex-pats in my neighborhood, and a killer mayo.  Oh and bacon.  Always bacon.
