SD's healthier BLT alternative

[SuperDave]

Hi Fellas,

I know there has been much discussion here on Giants about the perfection of the basic BLT. It almost became a sandwich was about a year ago. Well, after being told I had a cholesterol level of 216 (YIKES) I have cut waaaay back on the usual fare. I can't say as I complain much. Combined with exercise, I have lost 18 pounds and 3.5" off my waist and can run an eight minute mile... all in two months. I will have the 'ol cholesterol checked again in two months. I feel better than I have in years!

So, I wanted to pass on a small culinary gem that has kept me sane. Granted, I have just about eliminated ALL high cholesterol foods, but sometimes a man just needs bacon.

Here's a great, healthier survival food for me...

"SUPER DAVE'S lean-mean BLT"

Start with a selection of fine ingredients...

1. Turkey bacon-50% less fat and less cholesterol
2. Low-fat mayo-Same less fat and cholesterol
3. Roma tomatoes-Why Roma? They taste better!!
4. Green leaf lettuce-much more rich in vitamins that iceberg lettuce
5. Lightly toasted, 100% Whole Wheat bread (not that colored stuff)-Why?
FIBER MAN... FIBER!

After you build this mouth-watering vittle, throw a side of apples on the plate as opposed to chips. Man, this some good eatin'

Super Daves's healthier alternative to Max's BLT

So, show me what kind of healthy alternatives you dig! Do tell homies!

Careful with this stuff!

Nice sandwich, can you post more pics of the build.

[SuperDave]

I will work on that!

Dave, that is not a BLT. It's a TLT. Please do not compare the two. And what's all this working out mamby pamby talk? We're modelers and we're proud of our ab(s). What kind of operation are you guys running out there in New Mexico?

[SuperDave]

Lean and mean baby!

Dang Dave,

That sandwich looked so good I had to go to the fridge. Let's see...bacon's in the freezer, no lettuce, but looky there!!! Roma tomatoes!!!

So my lunch consisted of two sandwiches...Roma tomatoes and Miracle Whip light on toasted Sara Lee 100% whole wheat.

It wasn't as good as your's, I'm sure, but my stomach's not grumblin' and I'm back to work on my plane

Dave, if you keep eating like this, you're going to turn into the 5th woman I know who flys model airplanes.

I'll call it a TBLT. I wouldn't want it confused with your heart attack on bread called a BLT.

Hey, eat better, live longer, huck more!

Dave,

Being a Kiwi can have its advantages and obviously disadvantages. I'm yet to find a disadvantage but you never know so I left the gate open just in case. But I have a serious question.

How did you get the bread with the bacon on top of the lettuce and tomato without the bacon falling off as you flipped it. I think a video would be far more meaningful to those of us who are artistically impaired. I'm talking about Max and Boulder in that sentence of course.
