suddenly craving for baked bean
I had stock, thank goodness
being the only canned food I store
because I saw the recipe on 12 tomatoes
my goodness
8-12 hours in a slow cooker to
make baked bean from scratch
it’s alright
I shall stick to canned bean
baked bean always reminds me of home
because it is a favourite dish of my sis
so my mom will only cook it
when she is around
ie: Monday or Saturday
Monday
if I happened to be home
which is rare
that would be a holiday then
that makes baked bean suddenly memorable
I think I am such a bad food blogger
because all I write is
what you have already known
(i) bring the veggies cubes to boil
(ii) stir in a can of baked bean
(iii) pour them over pre-boiled pasta
I bought this light version of baked bean
50% less sugar
which makes all the difference, indeed
sweetness is the essence of baked bean
however I introduced some new flavours
the tomato enhances the sourness
chilies sauce which added tinge of spiciness
having cooked the whole can
I store half of it in the fridge
to become part of my lunch box tomorrow
some friends wonder
how on earth can you still
find energy and time to cook?
not to mention
to blog about it
well frankly speaking
work life is a mess
love life… do not mention it
now it’s even worse than Single-Available-Desperate
the process of preparing my own dinner
the simple yet warm dinner are
where I seek solace from
it makes me feel humane, again
