At my previous company, this recipe became famous, and liked so much, that its on their internal Wiki. So I thought Id share it with you guys. It has many variations, but the base stays the same. This recipe doubles well, so when you need to cook for 40, just multiply until happy. This batch servers about 10.

Fry your onion in some water in a big pot. Add your Cans of beans, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.Add in your pasta, Make sure there is enough water in the pot to cover everything, If not, add BOILING water. After about 20 minutes, add a tablespoon sweet basil, and a tablespoon of spice for mince or chicken stock, and a big dash of pepper to taste. Remember, the pepper taste comes out after it has simmered.

Wait until pasta is cooked completely. (the pasta will be soft).Just for safety wait 10 minutes more, and add the cream, let it simmer for 5 mins more, and serve with buns.

To give it more volume, ive added kidney beans, and peas. You can add any beans you want. Even fresh ones. I just use canned beans cause its quick, and due to the fact that I cook this at the office, thats important.

Just to recap, here are the ingredients.

Ingreedients :

1 x Tin Bakebeans in tomato sauce (for more volume add one more tin)

1 x Tin Greenbeans

1 x Tin Boer/Butter beans

1 x Pack of Pasta Shells (others dont cook as well)

6 x Garlic Cloves

1 x medium onion

1 x container of cream

Buns
Spices :

pepper,Spice for mince/chickenstock,Sweet basil

Most things, as usual are avaliable from woolworths. The spice for mince is not avaliable from the place around the corner from my office, Really wish theyd get it, as I always forget to bring it in the morning.

Enjoy!

So the other day I decided that I need a bigger playground to do my work in. Cybertek has done me wonders in the last 17 months. Its was quite enjoyable, but the excitement has now dried up.

So Thusa was looking for a sysadmin dude, And I decided to drop them a mail to see what their offer would be. After a couple of emails to and fro, They asked me to come and visit them to see what they offered. I must say, Im quite excited, They have quite a nice setup there, and I know 4 people who work there. And best of all is I get breakfast and Lunch! So today I handed in my resegnation after I received their contract. And Im quite excited.

Not long after I had accepted the offer, and told another company that I accepted thusas offer, the second company phoned me and tried to get me to join them, but at this moment , Thusa is more in the line of what I need. I hope to be occupied with it for quite a while, and they have enough scope so that I might not get bored quickly, which is what I enjoy.

ANyhow, Back to other updates of whats happened. We went to JHB for a tour with the KZNYO. It was quite a bit more interesting than I had thought. Its was three days of good rest and relaxation. with the cherrie of some stress on top, but thats what Im built for.

At this moment Im wating a dvd with some of the cast members from the musical I had taken part in. Quite nice to see some of the old faces.

Anyhow, I will start pretending to be more sociable now. CIao!
