Read to a greater extent than almost The School House, hither >

The School House is inward my hometown of Lexington, Missouri.  It is almost an hr from my house, thence seek to larn at that spot i time every twain of weeks.

When nosotros do, nosotros ever destination past times the local farmstands to see what's inward season.  Our favorite is my cousin's - Fahrmeier Farms.  They direct maintain strawberries early on summer, as well as at i time they direct maintain blackberries as well as tomatoes.  In the fall, they direct maintain beautiful pumpkins as well as menage unit of measurement activities.

Of course, at that spot is no demand for a recipe for BLTs... but using the correct ingredients is important.  I hardly ever lodge i at a eating theatre unless I know they know what they're doing.  Same amongst caprese salads.  They tin last corking or terrible.

Good Bread : I used brioche from Whole Foods.  It was my outset fourth dimension buying it at that spot as well as OMG - I don't know if I'll ever last able to piece of occupation whatsoever other staff of life again.  So delish.  Buttery, soft.  

Good Tomatoes : Real tomatoes.  When y'all land them y'all shouldn't see a "wagon wheel" shape, but fleshy as well as blood-red all the means through.  They don't direct maintain to last heirloom, but unremarkably the 'home grown' label is expert enough.  I've constitute at i time that to a greater extent than or less "heirloom" direct maintain been farmed to hold back right, but don't fifty-fifty gustation great.  I tabular array salt them amongst ocean tabular array salt earlier putting on the sandwich. 

Lettuce : Soft lettuce.  I don't similar romaine or iceburg on a BLT, but a soft lettuce similar butter or this blood-red leaf. 

(Do I audio crazy yet?!)

Bacon : Has to last crispy.  If at that spot is whatsoever chewy aspect, I'm out.

Mayo

Whole Foods Brioche

I can't hold back to brand French staff of life amongst this... non that at that spot is whatsoever left.

See the flesh all the means through?  Wagon Wheel tomatoes (not these) were hybridized to transportation as well as carry good without getting squashed.  So, the made them theatre as well as hard... instead of juicy as well as fragile similar these.

I bake bacon on a baking canvas amongst parchment newspaper for xx minutes at 375.   You tin detect baking sheets as well as parchment, hither >

This is my favorite pasta salad - here is my recipe), thence it is super slow to make.   I've simplified the recipe to last but : Bowtie Pasta, Pesto, Thawed Sweet Baby Peas & Parmesean.  

Blackberries from Fahrmeiers Farm.

There are a twain to a greater extent than weeks of blackberry picking, thence love apple tree flavor volition last inward total swing.  They would dear for y'all to come upwards visit!  One of these days (maybe Fall?), we'll direct maintain an opened upwards theatre at The School House as well as y'all tin destination past times at both (we're precisely downward the road).
