Thanks.. am going shopping this arvo so will pick up some extra to make a big batch of something!

mmmm shepherds pie. Might make that tonight Might get a big soup going too.

I do have a slow cooker.. but haven't delved into a lot of recipes just yet. And I'm not keeping up with the SC thread very well these days. Must pop in there again.

He does eat salad.. and the cold chicken & salad idea is a good one! Can cut up the salad the night before. Might wait a month or so on that one when it warms up a bit. He loves his soups and things so I'll do that while it's still cold.
