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.

    • Thanks for posting this JMK we have had 3 children at Charter East so have been involved with the school from the very early days and have watched the impact of inconsistent, unsupportive and at worst unprofessional and biased management on them over the years. Individual teachers have at times been great and as JMK says it is the overall structure that creates a toxic and punitive atmosphere which directly impacts some families more than others and these are the kids overwhelmingly that have an SEN.  The experience of these families is night and day compared with the families with children that can cope in this system.  
    • Another recommendation for Lukasz, he sorted out our bifold door. He came at the agreed time, found the issue very quickly, adjusted it, all very carefully and with attention to detail. And he was very reasonably priced as well. 
    • Well sure someone will correct me but years ago, in Singapore and I was quite young so not sure if it is true. but if you were caught stealing, your little finger or just the  tip part with nail was chopped off.  Stigma for  life as all know that was punishment for stealing… no questions asked.Totally agree it is barbaric but equally putting people  into overcrowded prison for minor offences is also not right. Tagging I guess would not work or maybe does… no idea at all.  Not so long ago, heard a talk about how European’s cope/deal with prisoners and how the suggest rate is higher and offences lowered greatly as in not going back to prison for same  or another offence.  The general gist was their approach was each prisoner mattered , was heard and listens to and a suitable package was tailored towards their needs. Not  b one package for all. Not cooped up for the majority of the day - encouraged as an example to cook, garden, grow food, other household stuff  plus study if wanted for courses, languages etc. and mental health, dependency on substance abuse also addressed. Can’t remember if they were paid c pocket money which clearly accumulated or could be used to  I purchase whatever in prison. If they can do it by experimenting and I think but not sure, at the time an English prison was learning why can’t this sort of program be rolled  out throughout UK - cut backs not an excuse - think of the millions lost by govt during Covid…  Maybe it is - no experience in the matter at all.   
    • Why have things got so complicated? I suppose a cat flap with a timer might be useful for people out all day but can't really see the point of them when its so easy to flip a simple mechanical lock. This is how my last cat flap operated but had to be replaced when cat wearing cone of shame tried to escape and broke it. The cat flap I have now is one of those linked to cats microchip but even then there is just a four way dial which allows different kinds of access - or not. Not that cat is bothered, refuses to use it and demands i open the door for her. This is bit of a rant because along with a new boiler I got a new electronic programmer which is really annoying as it takes 5 minutes to change a simple temperature whereas with old programmer it took 10 seconds. Hope you get sorted @oglander and enjoy your future servitude to your feline master.
