HELP!

Can anyone help please - my Selfridges delivery is late and all I have in for tomorrow is

1 half bitten into babybel (the common red one:o)
1 very large unopened bag of yellow lentils (very healthy I believe)
Some brewers yeast borrowed from my mum( thanks mum)
1/2 can of heinz tomato soup (4 days old)
1 OXO (veg)
and a vit B (high strength) tablet effervescent
1 spoonful of very old jam

The good news is I have a Remoska, 4 breadmakers (various makes) and a slow cooker. Cooking for a family of 9 until Selfridges sort themselves out.

Is it possible

    Of course it is!!! Put some of your lentils in your slow cooker, along with copious amounts of your cheap water from your other thread;) Leave for many hours ( plugged in and switched on at the socket:p) You could spoil them by crumbling the oxo into the mix. Give the half babybel as a treat topping to the one who you like best:D If they don't like it, they go hungry. OS at it's best!!
    You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
