I used a 375 gram packet for 4 bean mix and made as directed but because of the extra beans added a cup of water as extra liquid and the end result was lovely full of flavour baked beans with a rich thick sauce. Thank you threeovens, made for Aussie/Kiwi Recipe Swap #79 August 2013.I ended up with 7 cups of baked beans of which I have frozen 6. UPDATE - I defrosted a cup full in the microwave and then re-heated and served with toasted wholemeal/wholegrain bread for a great lunch, thanks once again three ovens.

<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
