Day 76 of 2025-21st Century Silver Jubilee Year Of The BLT!, 289 remain. The Faith and Begorrah St. Paddy's Day Monday Morning BLT Brunch participants are a nice Yeller (which turned Orange) and Purple, both nice-n-firm, from Woodman's fine $1.79/lb. selection:

Sliced; what glistening glamor, am I right?

Given the time of year, well above average tastiness, which even the lovely and long suffering Mrs. "my least favorite Tomato is any that's store bought" Gotch saw fit to mention. The overall nod went to the Purple this time.

Yeah that orange is a mighty fine looking fruit

The Reddy was near perfect firmness, but a tad underwhelming taste-wise; the Yeller a tad softish, but trés tasty with a citrusy hint.

Day 90, and the Quarter Pole of 2025-21st Century Silver Jubilee Year Of The BLT!, 275 remain. Today's Monday Morning BLT Brunch participants, a Pinky and a Purple, are courtesy of Metro Market:

Sliced; both were optimum firmness, a real pleasure to cut, and a visual extravaganza:

Served up:

Both had a nice taste-n-texture; the Purple had a sweet tinge along with its customary tang. If there's a better way to start the week other than with four (4) @Mark_Thompson©™® certified Wedge Cut Tomatoes, swathed with Mayo, fresh Lettuce, Bacon(oh yeah...BACON!), and nestled inside a Whole Wheat Pocketless Pita, I ain't found it, yet.

Damn Pinky is a beeeeeg boy! I’ve got a few fruits on the plant that might be pushing that size, but I won’t be talking about them to avoid any kind of bad luck befalling them. @Cornelius_Gotchberg you’re doing heroic work here holding things down solo

[Cornelius_Gotchberg]

you’re doing heroic work here holding things down solo

Meant to talk to you's about that.......

Inside a pocketless pita? Does that mean between two halves of a pocketless pita?

Kontos (https://kontos.com/product/10020/) cut in half, and folded over. Not a big fan of toasted bread for samitches unless they're Toasted Cheese or Reubens; with the latter usually open faced.

An open-faced Reuben? I'd need half a box of toothpicks to hold one together.
