My really wierd dinner - seperate or mix together??

I'm doing pretty well at my OS I think, but today is a bit of a wierd one! So for tonights supper I have:
Just over half a portion of split pea and veg 'mush' (was gonna be curry but realised had no curry powder!)
About 2 tablespoons of baked beans
Some frozen peas

Both the mush and the beans have already been frozen, and I need to eat all this today because I am planning a big curry tomorrow (using Yesco 4p sauce!) for me and frandlord, with an estra portion for me Thurs and one to freeze.

Should I eat them all seperately or mix them all together and have a kind of 'double mush':eek::rotfl:

    Mush it all together and top with mash and stick it in the oven?

    I second muppet's idea. Would make it more palatable!

    That sounds like a good idea - or top with breadcrumbs maybe?

    I think the wetness of the mixture would make the breadcrumbs soggy. What about sliced potatoes topped with butter & dried herbs or a sprinkle of grated cheese?

    Gone for the mixed together in a pan idea in the end. Once I'd put in the 'mush' and the beans I saw it was LOADS so didn't bother with the peas. Looks a bit like lumpy baby food, but tastes okay!
