BLT

Had a slice of bread and some coffee for breakfast, and a Honeycrisp apple for lunch (fantastic apples).

Decided to have a BLT with some Corn on the Cob for dinner; may as well use up my "seldom" servings of pork!

 A BLT is pretty standard, but I do a few things to suit it to my liking.  First, as per the diet (and preference) the bread is multigrain and toasted.  I have 6 slices of bacon in it; I chose center cut bacon because the slices are a bit smaller but a lot less fatty and the brand I got had a third less sodium.  All six slices only ran me 120 calories, and I baked it in the over (at 375 for about 30 min) on a rack in a cookie sheet to help it crisp right and to try to minimize the fat content.  As you can see, I use stacks of lettuce and tomato.  The lettuce should be romaine (for the crunch) and the tomatoes should be at least 5 slices high.  Makes it feel like more of a meal.  Finally, though, I add about two tablespoons of olive oil mayonnaise that I've beaten some rosemary and thyme into.  I didn't make the mayo from scratch, but I did add the herbs.  Do about two teaspoons of rosemary, finely chopped, and four sprigs of thyme, leaves only, into about 2 cups of mayo.  Honestly, you could do a smaller mayo ratio because the strength of the herbs in it is heaven for this sandwich.

The corn was boiled because it was cold out so I didn't wish to grill.  Only added salt and pepper to it; it's sweet corn, you don't need anything else!

Went to see The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged tonight and finished my calorie intake with a pumpkin tart, which should be about 250 calories, give or take.
