Making Beauty Out of Pain
BLT Dogs
HEATHER MORROW AND HER AWESOME BUSINESS, POTTERY DAILY
Inspired by FoodNetwork.com
Is a hot dog a sandwich or not? We’re not here to weigh in on the ever-contentious debate, but when you combine a hot dog with a BLT, it definitely becomes more sandwich-like — and way more delicious.
INGREDIENTS
4 strips bacon
1 head romaine lettuce, shredded 1 large tomato, seeded and diced Salt and pepper, to taste
• •
•
4 hot dogs (ideally Boar’s Head Beef Frankfurters, but any all-beef variety will do)
•
4 hot dog buns
• •
•
1 tbsp mayonnaise
DIRECTIONS
It’s a common societal belief that great art comes from great pain: Van Gogh painted “The Starry Night” while in emotional torment; Lennon and McCartney forged their creative partnership following the death of their respective mothers; Milton penned “Paradise Lost” after losing his wife, his daughter, and his eyesight. I’ve always been fascinated by artists’ ability to take their negative experiences and use creative outlets to work through them in a healthy way. But perhaps none have impressed me more than my client Heather Morrow. After her first husband tragically passed away from cancer, Heather sought out her creative soul to help her feel more tethered and grounded. She started by painting and then joined a wheel-throwing class, finding that she had a deep connection to the process. Her business grew out of her passion for pottery. Pottery Daily is a company she created to share her adventures, sell her masterpieces, and teach others how to ignite their own love for the craft. Heather also used these experiences to author a book on overcoming loss. While taking her grief and molding it into something beautiful, Heather still maintained her career as a corporate trainer for one of the top law firms in the world. So, she has her own business centered around a hobby that brings her joy and peace, and she also has a job at which she (pardon my language) kicks ass. I seriously encourage anyone and everyone to go to Heather’s website PotteryDaily.com to see her artwork. It’s truly beautiful!
1. Heat a skillet to medium and fry bacon until rendered and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
2. Fry hot dogs in bacon drippings, creating a crust, and cook until warmed through.
3. Using a dry skillet or oven, toast buns.
4. Spread mayonnaise on buns, place hot dog and bacon inside, and top with tomatoes and lettuce. Serve. TAKE A BREAK
