Not so much a recipe, more an assembly of ingredients & generally cooked in one pan, with a slice of toast or bread making an appearance


Tea time in our house, between clubs or activities for the kids, is usually when these *ahem* 'classics' make an appearance. They've often been created with some ingenuity and/or a lack of ingredients. Or good as an addition to some Cold Cuts


Bean-o-mato with Sour Dough toast


A tin of beans + a tin of plum tomato

In a pan with a little Mustard, Worcestershire sauce, splash of Balsamic & Cayenne if you like heat

I crush the tomato up somewhat, then simmer the assembly for a good while. This thickens the whole thing, and lets the ingredients get to know each other


Nice thick toast, buttered well


Add grated cheese once plated, if that floats your boat.



Or the Classic "HonaloochiBakedBeans"

(his recipe, not mine, but the only way we now eat straight beans at Bag Towers)


1 tin of beans. Add about a small teaspoon of mustard and a good splash of Worcester sauce


Cooked sloooooowly, until the beans thicken and soften


Serve with toast or a thick slice of ham/cold chicken or whatever, they're deliciously sticky and savoury

I hate mustard so substitute it with a knob of butter, also a dash of freshly ground black pepper before serving...

Not sure this counts as there's more than one pot involved but it's very quick and easy. For when you have leftover smoked haddock (I overcater to make sure).


Wilt some spinach and press out the liquid.

At the same time, poach or scramble two eggs.

Toast two crumpets or light rye bread.

Assemble in two stacks: crumpet, spinach, haddock, egg, topped with a spoon of real mayonnaise if you have it and maybe some snipped chives.


Takes 5-10 mins.

Yep, butter and lots of pepper for me.

I love mustard Seabag. Colemans is the one thing I'd import if I move to Vancouver (you want logs?).


A British cabbie with indian roots once told me he liked "Western food but specced up a bit. Fusion doesn't have to be fancy" and we had a great chat which included a scribbled recipe on the receipt for Indian fish and chips.


His other tip was a variation of Seabag's beans:


- Chop and gently fry onion on a low heat

- Add a desert spoon of Pataks curry paste and gently stir into onion

- Add beans, simmer low.

- Serve on toast

Forgot to add, if any in the fridge, a squeeze of tomato puree too for extra tang.

Don't know why, but they come out better by heating them in the oven rather than on the hob, they are baked beans afterall...

A pot of pinto beans are good cooked with or without some pork. Need to add seasoning while cooking, can use jalapeno juice and add an onion. Serve with cornbread and toppings of chopped tomato, grated cheese, chopped onion/spring onion, vinegar. See the Homesick Texan blog for inspiration.

    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood. 
    • Line speed and the strength of your Wi-Fi signal are two separate things.  The first is determined by the type of connection (fibre/copper etc) to the outside world and the second is the connection between the device (printer/TV/laptop/tablet etc) and the router. If you are connecting a device to the router using cables (as Alec1 is) then this is will give the best possible connection but isn't practical for many without a degree of upheaval and even then not all devices (tablets for example) will allow a wired connection. So you relying on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the device and this will depend on the quality of the router, the type of Wi-Fi connection (the frequency), line of sight etc - many different things.  This is why some people opt for a "mesh" type setup which is supposed to give a solid quality of Wi-Fi signal around the house with little or no blackspots.  It's expensive though and still requires the devices that send and receive the signal (like the plug-ins you have) to be wired to the router.
    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.
