These are the best bakd beans in the world. Seriously. Try the recipe and then try to tell me I'm wrong.

Grab a couple cans of really good quality deep brown baked beans like Heinz. You will also need one yellow onion, some prepared mustard, worcestershire sauce, some bacon and brown sugar.

Dice the onion!

Fry up the bacon until crispy and set aside to cool. I usually use two strips of bacon per can of beans. In the same frying pan, sweat the onion in the bacon grease (no one said this was good for you) until soft. In a bowl, combine the cans of beans with the bacon grease and onions. Crumble in the bacon and add the mustard, brown sugar and worcestershire sauce. I usually add about a teaspoon of worcestershire per can of beans, a teaspoon of brown sugar per can of beans and a tablespoon of mustard per can of beans, HOWEVER, I rarely measure and it is always better to add and taste and add more if you want more and taste again until it's perfect. Also, keep in mind, if you have bought a maple flavored can of baked beans, brown sugar shouldn't be added.

Bake in a baking dish for about 40 mins, or until the top is nice and dry. It is better served closer to room temp than it is piping hot.

If you are vegetarian, the soy based fake bacon bits can be added instead of real bacon, and obviously sweat the onions in a little veg oil instead of bacon grease.

This is great without baking as well, making it awesome for camping.

Dragon made of cake - Boing Boing
In the grand tradition of amazing edible sculpture comes this nerdy piece of jaw-dropping confectionery. It's holding a d20, and sitting on a white chocolate hoard. There's a lot of really amazing detail in this thing. Seriously. A dragon made of cake.
