I don’t know if this is true but if it is then, as she says, it is an abomination.

That takes me back to my childhood when toast was done the proper way…

I am not that fond of toast, to me it was a way of using up stale bread when I was a kid. I tell my kids this when they are toasting fresh bread and they just laugh.

I just love toast Bruce, have it with almost everything. Beans on, Egg on, Tinned tomatoes on. and Two slices with a tin of soup are practically mandatory…

Don’t worry so do I.
By the way I have just “discovered” a brilliant recipe for beans on toast. Buy a spicy chorizo sausage chop a few slices finely, fry for a few minutes the add the baked beans to heat them up. Pour on the toasted bread and sprinkle with a bit of grated cheese.
It’s to die for.
Even better than my “Save the British” Brexit recipe which did so much to stiffen the upper lip and get the country through those terrible years.

Interesting fact about baked beans … cook up some mince & onion, throw in a tin of beans add Tabasco to taste. And you have the most amazing, heart warming comfort food. Serve with or without toast.

My cooking ability is also limited Mr Smith, but I’ll never go hungry…
I like the idea of minced beef and onion d00d, sounds very tasty…
I sometimes add a splash of this to my beans or mash to liven things up a bit…

The thing about baked bean is the sweet tomato sauce … works well with chilli/pepper.
Sometimes I make it so hot, I need a dollop of yoghurt to calm it

I often add various spices to my baked beans. Chilli, smoked paprika, curry powder, as well as grated cheese and barbecue sauce, on toast with garlic butter. Mmmmm.
Branston do beans with Branston pickle juice in them, but you can add any sauce or pickle to taste.
Other brands of baked beans are available.

You can get beans with (sort of) sausages in them over here. They aren’t bad, and were always a kids favourite in our house when growing up.
I say “sort of” because the sausages are so soft you can mush them with your tongue against the roof of your mouth without the need to bite or chew.

Oh, I remember those very well! 
I had nightmares for a long time, for years, and of course the grief about my mother’s death and that of the other people came back again and again. The thought “why was I the only survivor?” haunts me. It always will.

I would think anything life threw at you after that would be a piece of cake.
