My kids used to love beans on toast, but I have never seen a bean sandwich.

On her show, Trisha Yearwood made lasagna for her husband, Garth Brooks.
Something I would never think to do, he loves to have a slab for
breakfast, he puts it on two slices of bread and eats it like a sandwich.

IMO, there is no 'properly'. It is a crap shoot-- and we're way too
small to be 'the house'. That said-- if you're patient and not
greedy, it still beats most everything else.

You didn't pick up a few shares of Berkshire Hatthaway? In the spring
of 2009 I balked at their $73K/share price. Good thing-- They only
doubled a month or so ago. [$150K today]

Amazon- Sirius- Caterpillar and even Chrysler have done better.<g>

I would never think to make lasagna for Garth Brooks either.

I made a few mistakes along the way too.

I was having fun with penny stocks also-there was a Canadian airline in
protected bankruptcy I think and I remember thinking no way is Canada
going to let this airline go under so I bought some shares. Only I didnt
understand the foreign stock symbols and ended up buying something else
related to but not the actual stock I intended to buy. When their stock
went up I was ****ed because what I had mistakenly bought did not go up.
I emailed the stock brokerage webaddress and said "Educate me." I
received a very nice email in return explaining the symbols.

I also bought a penny stock called BSII just for kicks-it was a company
involved in waste management-I enjoyed telling people "I bought some
bullshit too." LOLOL

Fun times and better odds than lottery tickets but still pure gambling
:-)

They clearly have weight issues and obviously haven't learned about low

"Sandwich" aside, what you're saying is never have garlic bread with
lasagna. Or with spaghetti & meatballs. I've got news for ya, not
everyone has jumped on the low-carb bandwagon. I'm not overweight and
I'll eat both, thanks. The key is moderation.

It's all about you? I thought I was writing about them... We all have
different nutritional needs and if you took 100 newborns, controlling
all the random variables so that each baby had a unique genetic makeup
compared to the other babies, and then placed them in a controlled
environment, and fed them all the exact same nutritional intake, guess
what? At age 20, 30, 40, 50, 60... years of age, they would all have
different bodies different shapes different weights despite the exact
same nutritional input. So much for free will.

That many carbs for those two people with that particular lifestyle is
disastrous for THEIR weight control.

And I'd *happily* make lasagna for Garth Brooks. And Trisha.

Give me a friggin break. Oh, yes, let's put babies in experimental

What do you know about Trisha and Garth's lifestyle?! I don't know

You're assuming they (or people in general) eat that way every day.
I, for one, don't. Maybe *you're* obese. Go ahead, impose those rules
on yourself. Just don't push your low-carb agenda on everyone else.

Maybe it's Canadian. My grandfather, who was Canadian by birth but of
Scottish ancestry, made baked bean sandwiches for lunch the day after
having BBB for dinner the night before. He claimed "the English" made
bean sandwiches, so I believed him.

Now that I'm thinking about it, an open faced bean sandwich and an egg
with a runny yolk on top might be good for breakfast. I should try
that sometime and see how it works for me. I like a nice poached egg
on a square of fried polenta, so anything is possible.

True but silly story. Did you stay up all night coming up with that? Not
all of us are obscessed with a low-carb diet. I understand that diabetics
need to be but for normal life, carbs are not evil. (except for Brian)

I've see Trisha Yearwood's show on FN a couple of times and while
she's not bone thin, she's not overweight AFAIC. No idea what her
husband looks like, but if he wants an occasional lasagna sandwich for
breakfast - I don't think it's will put him in the hospital...
especially if it's only a rare treat. As for my own personal tastes -
that sandwich idea doesn't appeal. If I ate lasagna for breakfast,
I'd have a side of cottage cheese with it.

It's not something that would appeal to me, it just struck me as
strange, a pasta dish on bread, like the aforementioned spaghetti
sandwich.

If I have the episode right, it was a healthy lasagna that she
made for him. Black beans and tofu.

I haven't thought about them in years. We made them from my mother's
home-made baked beans. Those beans weren't runny like the ones from
cans. My mother sprinkled a little vinegar on them when she made her
sandwich, so that's how I learned to eat my sandwich. (this was with
the cold baked beans) These weren't sweet, barbeque beans, just a
white bean baked with onion and bacon.

I do recall that I rather likedcanned baked beans on toast (and I'll bet
they were Heinz'). Like you said, maybe I'll have to try those again;
perhaps on one of those over-sized muffins that I have mentioned.

I have some white beans with EVOO, garlic and rosemary... now I'm
wondering how that would work. Hmm.

If she substituted zucchini for the noodles, it would have been even
healthier - LOL. Along these lines... one of these days I want to
make "baked ricotta". Ricotta is my favorite part of the lasagna, so
why not just bake it and serve it with meat sauce on top? Meat sauce
would be for hubby. I'd be fine just opening a can of Trader Joe's
Marinara.

We could all stand to cut back on carbs, but you're right about how it
doesn't bother those of us who are not diabetic or approaching it.
Hubby feels a lot better (sleeps better too) when he cuts back on
sugar and carbs.

My father came home from the pub one evening and, feeling peckish, made a
sandwich with some of the beef stew we'd had earlier. Mum was taken aback
but after that, often made him stew sandwiches for his lunch at work.
One day, one of the drivers was hungry and so Dad gave him one of these
sandwiches and the guy was so enthusiastic that he, and all the other
drivers had their wives make them after that.

I beg to differ.

How long ago did you live here, and where exactly?

They might have been a 'staple' in some peoples homes, but certainly not
in any deli's/sandwich bars.

And I can't remember them ever being on the 'menu' at any school I
attended.

And at home, it was usually as James said, BB on toast. The 'grown up'
version is to have BB on toast with a runny egg on top.

I was strictly a Watties BB guy, but during the bushfires down in Tassie,
the supermarket ran out of a lot of stuff, and I had to settle for some
store branded BB in BBQ sauce. Watties BB sell for around $1.30 a tin, the
store brand sells for $1..... and they aren't too bad either.

I thought I might have to tweak them a bit, but they are fine on their own.

Still beats that Heinz crap, hands down.

Not in my case, here in Oz. After trying the Heinz, it's a bland boring
flavour that you could never mistake for anything else.

My store brand is streets ahead of it.

I hope I got the attributions right. Try heated chili with beans using
one end of a crusty french bread. Slice in half and hollow it out a bit.
Add anything else that you like. If you don't like chili with beans or
you don't like french bread, you will hate this. You can get two
sandwiches if you do the same with the other end. It's good belly filler.
I suppose you could do the same with Boston baked beans if you like
things sweet.

True. Although I think I'd still prefer a toasted bean sandwich made
with one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_toaster

Just out of interest, does anyone know how to make such sandwiches
without one of these gadgets?

If I made bean sandwiches, it would have to be without using one of
those things because I'm not running out to buy one for any reason.
To be honest, I think of them as being used more by Brits than
Americans, because they at least mention toasties or whatever it's
called in their group from time to time. No one ever seems to bring
up the subject here other than saying it was a dust catcher and
donated to a second hand shop. Are they popular in Australia too?
Never mind, I guess they are... Breville is an Australian company.

Crostini with beans are pretty common; your beans would be great in that
application.

I used gigante beans to make crostini not all that long ago.

They are popular here - or I should say /were/ popular here years ago,
they don't seem to be anywhere near as common as they once were.

I'm very hesitant to buy kitchen gadgets myself, unless it's something
that is extremely useful... all too often these gadgets end up as a
waste of space in kitchen cupboards.

Hence my question on how to make these toasted sangas witout one
