I Was Looking For Any Excuse NOT to Post This

...from Wednesday's fish wrap, but the Lord hath sent a sign...

Hugh Grant arrested over ‘baked beans attack’

Photographer accuses British actor of assault with plastic tub of food

...that I dare not ignore.

To dearest Suzette and Bingley,

While it may not contain soup, it does contain a product...from a can.

Bon Appétit!,
thsister {:^)


Pork and Bean Bread

1 cup raisins 1 cup boiling water

1 (16-ounce) can pork and beans, undrained

3 eggs

1 cup oil

2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking powder

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup chopped nuts

Combine raisins and water. Set aside to cool. Remove pork from pork and beans.

Beat together beans, eggs, oil and sugar until well mashed and blended. Stir in vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Blend in flour. Fold in raisins and nuts.

Pour into 2 greased and floured loaf pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, or until done.

*If you use smaller loaf pans, reduce cooking time.


Delightful, n'est pas?

Lima little confused why you even started. I wouldn't have touched it with a ten foot pole.

At least waited lentil supper.

I don't know. I've bean trying to stop, but it seems I can't help it.

BTW-That recipe sounds horrid to me, have you actually tried it? I think I'd rather have one of your dog treats.

Who cares about Hugh Grant? He's a has-bean any way.

...have you actually tried it?

Ah, no. I should give you a black-eye for even suggesting it. I count on this columnist's penchant for gag inducing recipes. She's a garbanzo of vile food who rarely lets me down and ~ witness this particular gem ~ she occasionally blows even those low expectations out of the water.

I'm sure if you were fool enough to eat this, you'd think your haricot fire.

Whew. At the thought of you feeding that to Major Dad I was goa to be sick.

All those beans! Your carbon footprint will balloon if you eat them. Don't hurt Mother Gaia™!
