Be it known and declared herewith by persons capable of accurate and ready determination by resort to sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned, summer has officially begun. My bride (she's the authority) says it ain't summer until you get the first ripe tomato from the garden and convert it to a sammich. Doesn't get much better than this...

It is hard to find a tomato sandwich I don't like, but my favorite is toasted whole wheat bread, mayo, mustard, bacon, and cheese. Yummy!

Lookin' good there, Mark! Now, the way we do it in South Georgia involves bacon, mayo, salt, and lots of pepper. The bacon needs to be very crisp. The mayonnaise needs to be slathered on both pieces of bread, and the ripe maters placed on the other slice The salt is applied directly to the maters, and (THIS IS IMPORTANT!) the pepper is applied not to the maters, but to the mayonnaise on the other bread slice! Brand of mayo is optional, but a real Sothron will always choose Dukes. Under no circumstances should an imposter like Miracle Whip be allowed anywhere near a mater sammich.

I can't disagree with the Miracle whip statement... The only proper mayonnaise for a sandwich is Hellman's, IMHO!

Not that I disagree. all those other sorts of sammichs have to wait. The Official Beginning of Summer sammich includes real mayo, white bread, salt, pepper and pure unadulterated 'mater. It is amazing the difference in a 'mater picked ripe off the vine versus any other 'mater. I don't know how those supermarket tomatoes are grown but they just aren't close.
