VLT (Vegetarian BLT) | Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

VLT
2 veggie bacon strips, cooked
2 slices bread, toasted
tomato slices
lettuce
mayonnaise

Assemble the sandwich. NOTE: My favorite veggie bacon are MorningStar Farms Veggie Bacon Strips and Lightlife Smart Bacon. Lightlife Smart Bacon is thicker and heartier than the MorningStar Farms version, but both are good.


Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? | 1967
Oh, dear. This is a film with incredible performances by all four actors--Richard Burton as George, Elizabeth Taylor as Martha, George Segal as Nick, and Cathy Dennis as Honey. Based on the Edward Albee play, a baudy Martha is constantly berating and degrading George while dismissing the mousy Honey and mooning over ambitious Nick. At the core, its a liquor-ridden, romp through marriage gone wrong or maybe marriage never right at the beginning. Outside the bar after a crazy spin around the dance floor, Martha screams at George, "I'm loud, and I'm vulgar, and I wear the pants in the house because somebody's got to . . . but, I am not a monster! I'm NOT!" A movie you can't see just once, you're not sure whether to laugh or cry. Taylor's Bette Davis impression at the beginning is priceless.
