The Banter Cafe

[UltraBudgie]

I have yet to do any shopping for the week, so all I have to eat is some peanut butter, half a packet of Jacob's Cream Crackers, and a can of Batchelors Baked Beans. And a few ginger snaps for desert. Maybe a glass of milk too if it hasn't turned yet.

Saw this video in the Times and now I want breakfast, dang it:





Hmm, I've got eggs, beans, and a sirloin; I guess that'll have to do...

Hmmmmm....yum.

Hash browns, black pudding fried bread and mushrooms.  I much prefer tinned plum tomatoes but maybe that's just me.  Hold the beans.

What are navy beans?  No meat?

I'll do a Tuscan Bean stew in the Caff on Friday.  With pulled pork and bacon.

Hate Chorizo.

They're a white bean; what you use in baked beans usually. Like great northern beans but a little smaller. Yes it's a vegetarian bean recipe; and no molasses or brown sugar either— leave that in Boston.

Tuscan Bean stew sounds amazing!

I think if you sauteed the onions in butter first to carmelise them, you would be really happy with the result.   Also, maybe a tsp of fresh ginger in with the onions and 1 clove of garlic minced instead of the powder.   JMVHO.  I like your recipe.

Apparently, my former thread-killah abilities of ATS have continued here.   Sorry, everybody.  Just pretend I wasn't here.
