Perfect to eat with fresh tomatoes.

Take 4 strips of bacon and put in pan on med-high heat. Make sure the pan isn't too small or cooking the bacon becomes difficult. Cook until med-well done - crispy but with some softness.

Meanwhile, cut 1-2 tomatoes into quarter inch slices. Wash piece of red leaf lettuce. Cut fresh springy white bread to half inch slices. If desired, add a little mayo to one of the slices.

When bacon is done cooking, make sandwich in the following order (bottom to top):
Bread with Mayo
Tomatoes
Lettuce
Fresh ground pepper
Bacon
Other piece of bread

Turkey Pepper Sandwich

Disappointed by my pesto chicken sandwich, I had to make a good sandwich. This is one of my favorite sandwich recipes.

Get a fresh made roll, or better yet focaccia bread.
Next get a bag of frozen bell pepper strips. Make sure it has green, yellow and red.
You'll need some deli turkey (also can use shrimp)
And some cheese (parmesan, cheddar, feta, are my favorites.)
Salt and pepper

Saute the frozen peppers in a bit of olive oil. Add a bit of salt, and a lot of pepper. When soft, add turkey. (If using raw shrimp, add earlier). Continue to cook until meat is nice and hot. When close to being done, add cheese to melt. Remove from heat and add to bread. Eat. Enjoy.

Something about this sandwich tastes way better than it should. I crave it regularly.

Pesto Chicken Sandwich

A pesto chicken sandwich done right is one of the best sandwiches you can eat. Not in a cooking mood I decided to buy stuff to make them. They were not very good. Hamburger buns (the local market didn't have any real bread), grilled chicken breast, pesto and feta cheese. Sounds great on paper, but in practice not good. First off, you need real bread. Secondly, you need some arugula or other mustard leaf in there. Thirdly, store bought pesto sauce is never very good (though deli stuff sometimes is okay).

This was my first attempt at making pesto chicken sandwiches. I thought it would be easy, it wasn't. I did eat 4 of them though, so they weren't all that bad. Next free weekend I'll have to try making my own focaccia bread and pesto sauce and give it another go.
