BLT Sandwich and Hearty Winter Soup

When I told Zach I was doing this blog thing with all of the food pictures from my phone, he sent me this picture from his phone:

 

Our table looks much nicer with fancy wedding gifts on it: placemats, silverware caddy, pepper grinder

This is one of Zach's favorite meals that I have ever made.  Also, one of the more American meals I have ever made of my own free will.  Not that he doesn't like the normal foreign fare, he just really liked this sandwich.

I had the day off and had this waiting for him when he got back from work.  A BLT made from homemade bread, tomatoes from our garden, thick-sliced bacon, sriracha aioli, and some sort of lettuce (duh).  And Hearty Winter Soup made from butternut squash from our garden, potatoes, chicken (freezer--past manager's special), smoked sausage (current manager's special), and corn.  And iced tea, because you can't have such an American lunch without iced tea.
