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.

    • 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.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
