I bought a cheap chicken from Lidls (£2.50) and put it in the slow cooker this morning.
I've never cooked chicken this way before and was really pleased with the result, in fact if I wasn't a veggie then I would have had some myself :rotfl:Karma - the consequences of ones acts."It's OK to falter otherwise how will you know what success feels like?"1 debt v 100 days £20000 -
I'm making my first SC meal tonight! It's leek and potato soup

I just gotta figure out the recipe! I've got the chopped leeks, diced potatos, diced onions and I'm adding veg stock.
What else??
