Too many tomatoes from the garden. So I made some tomato butter to use instead of mayo. I regret not putting more of it on. But I'll use the leftover for some pasta dish.

Cost per person $2.85

While I admire your inventiveness I think you need to get your acronyms in order because that is certainly not a BLT.

    Sorry. Cucumber is our default and I was eager to get the post done and eat and didn't consider changing the default name this time. But I think most people can figure it out.

    You could do carrot bacon alternative. Carrot peeler, soy sauce, brown sugar, paprika, maybe some liquid smoke. Use the peeler to make strips. Dip. Bake until crispy.

    It'll taste more like bacon. Fat free vegan bacon.

    This look like cucumbers not lettuce. Cut lengthwise and peeled.

    Whoa, never heard of tomato butter before. Sounds intriguing.

    I rarely keep butter, but maybe I could try it with ghee, or somesuch..

    I used this recipe but reduced the amount by half. I might be tempted to add a pinch of MSG in the future.

    There are other versions where you cook the tomatoes down in a pot to evaporate enough juice to almost get a paste and work from there.

    Some even skin ghd tomatoes.

    You are going to want to make sure your ghee to be between liquid and solid. So refrigerate accordingly.

    I start to panic if I don't have at least one pound of butter in the house at all times. Some kind of trauma response from childhood?

    Thanks. I stashed the recipe. 👍

    No judgement intended, but sounds pretty normal for The South, frankly. Similar with lard, I'd guess.
