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.

    • There can be different vaccine versions for different age groups. Two weeks after having my two from DL at TJHC I have today a text from TJGP to say free flu vaccine is available for me  at the practice, and asking me to book online (where next appointment offered shows as 13 November). Years ago, when the two practices were still in Melbourne Grove, the GP practice was similarly not aware that I'd already had my flu vaccine at DL.  This time I can see my 9 October Covid one in my NHS online GP Acute Medicines records, and then, at the end of the entries: "Unknown Date "Influenza vaccine (surface antigen, inactivated) suspension for injection 0.5ml pre-filled syringes ..." I'm wondering if this date error is happening to others getting dual vaccinations from the TJ DL, or any other DL branches.  And whether it's turning up in the patient records of any other GP practice.
    • What kind of witch hunt is this? mandatory facial recognition? prison for shoplifters? Shops can protect their stock as they wish. but they choose profits first.  The obvious solution would be delivery only - and when you can get your shopping in 15minutes, who really needs to go to the shop? but no, the shops like the sales from people browsing and being hungry when they shop. They don't lay the shops out for our enjoyment. They don't actually care that much. If they did, there would be active and empowered security, lower stock on shelves, more security tags etc... don't be fooled. If you're going to go after shoplifters, go after the organised crime, theft to order etc
