Thats a great idea 😃 I am off tomorrow so I will try it then.

You can also buy a plug timer if you don’t feel confident leaving the slow cooker on for a long time. That’s what I did when I first started using it.

Also DH made this togarashi popcorn chicken that Tim Tracker had on one of his vlogs last night. It was amazing! You can’t do it in the slow cooker but it only takes about 15 minutes. It’s so tasty.
Can you buy them from Tesco? a timmer is a good idea for when we are out. I am going to try having the slow cooker on for a long time tomorrow when I am off. If I still dont feel confident I will try a timer.

I buy mine from Asda/Sainsbury’s but I presume Tesco would do them. They’ll be near the tins of kidney beans, chickpeas etc.

Good idea!

Edit - just had a look and Tesco do them, tesco/groceries/en-G...FVQi0wodxa8OCg

Couple of large spoons of mayonnaise. Done!

Pop this in the fridge, it lasts for at least 5 days. I then take a sealed plastic bowl to work each day, and have this with a boiled egg or a bit of ham.

This week I added some tinned sweetcorn, but the veg can be changed out for whatever you like, as long as you don't use something too watery, like cucumber for example, which would water down the mayo. It could probably be made with low-fat mayo if you preferred that.

I might try adding some grated cheese next time! Anyway, the point is, you can make a large amount of this from just a small number of quite cheap ingredients, and as long as you don't get fed up with eating it day after day, it lasts for quite a while.

I started making this as I got so fed up with sandwiches, but then was just eating bags of crisps and other junk food for lunch instead, which is why I've put so much weight on in the last 12 months. Actually, I think I may buy some low-fat mayo next week ...
sounds nice gonna try this thanks
