The evolution of the baked bean and cheese sandwich

30 April 2006 by kristarella

Mr Fabulous thought my love of the baked bean and cheese sandwich is really weird. So I’m going to post more about it!

When I was living at my grandmother’s we were feeling lazy and hungry. I looked in the cupboard and found a tin of baked beans. We decided to heat this up and have it on toast. Normal enough right? Then we were waiting for the microwave to do its thing and suddenly baked beans didn’t seem good enough. I looked in the fridge and saw a packet of grated cheese, so I suggested we melt cheese in with the baked beans. This was quite nice and we ate that. Later when I married my hubby and we moved in to our unit, we got a sandwich press that toasts sandwiches. It’s totally awesome! We make good use of it. So I thought rather than melting the cheese in with the baked beans and toasting the toast in the toaster, just whack it all in the sandwich press and voila. Best sandwich ever!

I also like to make my scrambled eggs and bacon on toast into a sanwich, all it requires is two pieces of toast and hands with the skill to eat such a sandwich without spilling all the contents.

    I agree with Mr. Fabulous…Baked beans are whack…they’re disgusting…they actually don’t really have a taste…but the the slight taste they do have is seriously whack…and what kind of texture is it? Disgusting, absolutley disgusting, yet we all like different things, so our choices are what we make them! So…choose your choices well everyone…

    I HATE them…the whole UNITY thing is from Chappelle’s Show on Foxtel, Comedy Channel. Rick James from the 80’s wrote a song called ‘Unity’ and he had a gold ring made to commemorate it. Anyway, our cousins have MSN sign offs like ‘peace’ and ‘ciao’, so I thought, hey I need one too…and thought Unity is funny, and from there, it evolved to my sign off =)

I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
