whats the frequency of the letter g in:
most sundays, by the time we get home from church i just dont have the energy to make a big meal for the two of us. its generally been a long day and were both tired. (one of the benefits of having a husband on the bishopric and only having one car!)
some weeks i get my act together, and manage to throw something into the slow cooker before we leave . . . most weeks, i forget until its too late, and todd is standing at the door with his briefcase and wanting me to get out to the car . . . like five minutes ago!
. . . sigh
those are beans on toast days, or soup and rolls . . . and yes, i confess, sometimes we even have tinned spaghetti on toast. i know . . . im depraved, but i do like it from time to time . . .
when i was a girl we used to love it when my mom made bacon and cheese toasties. bacon and cheese are so very tasty together. my mom always used kraft cheese singles slices and streaky bacon and the cheese would kind of burn a bit in the corners and it tasted rather yummy! i love, love, loved the brown bits!!
oh . . . and the bacon, of course!!
i have grown up now, and prefer mine with a good cheddar these days.
i also like to add a bit of spring onion and mayonnaise. i mean . . . in for a penny, in for a pound, right?
it goes without saying . . . you want a good quality of streaky bacon.
quick . . . easy . . . and moreishly tasty. yumm!! yumm!!

cook your bacon until semi crisp in a medium high non stick skillet. drain well on paper toweling.
mix together the shredded cheese, spring onions and mayonnaise. add cayenne pepper to your taste. spread this mixture onto the toasted slices of bread. cut the slices of bacon into 4 slices each. place these on top of the cheese mixture in an attractive manner.

hi marie! so glad you dropped in on my blog at not entirely british.
ive really enjoyed visiting your blog and reading the super recipes. cant beat english cheddar cheese - and the bacon, of course :-) nothing quite like it over here in the usa. not that ive found yet, anyway.
im adding your link to mine right now - and have just put your post on my facebook page today. im at if you want to check it out.
how did you get that little facebook thing that lets people post from here to facebook?
i had forgotten about these until seeing it today on anne bradshaws facebook. brings back fond memories of my mothers cooking (she grew up in canada). i found some extra-extra-sharp black diamond cheddar in williamsburg, va on vacation this summer. that would be delectable in this recipe.
okay, so ive found how to do the fb link thing. had it on my site already, didnt i. duh! :-)
i loved this growing up too! great idea the spring onions:) and mayo..my mom just did the cheese and bacon:)i can still taste hers!
