However, the humidity has returned and cooking inside or out can be a tough at times. Ripe tomatoes are trickling in here and there from a few local farms. I found some this week from The Good Farm in Germansville. You can also find The Good Farm products at Crooked Row Farm Stand in Orefield. Red &amp; Orange tomatoes jumped out to me as I was looking over the local produce. I&#8217;ve been craving BLT&#8217;s all Summer and nothing beats a freshly sliced and juicy tomatoes on a BLT!<\/span><\/span><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: #555555; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-42664\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/20170811_181355-192x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"192\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/20170811_181355-192x300.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/20170811_181355.jpg 356w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: #555555; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\">Bread of choice, toasted<\/span><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: #555555; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"><br \/>\nBacon, cooked near crisp<br \/>\nIceberg Lettuce<br \/>\nMayo<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: #555555; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"> Salt &amp; Pepper<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: #555555; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Toast bread and spread mayo on both slices.
