I bung mine into a loaf tin and cook for about 1.5 hours covered and then a final 10 or so minutes uncovered. I love it with sriracha mayo - mayo and chilli sauce mixed together

@adrian1der - sounds good to me - I am addicted to sriracha - mmmmm - but can only have little bits at a time thankfully because of the spice 😛

Thanks to you I have bought the Tom Kerridge Dopamine Diet book but have still to experiment - I am sure it will be great! So thanks for the tip.

No Brekky
Lunch: Salad with black forest cured ham, boiled ham, potato salad, lettuce with blue cheese dressing, small spoonful cous cous, cucumber, tomatoes, coleslaw.

Whatever I have been doing I seem to have got it right as I have been 95% time in range over the 3 days. No doubt I have shot myself in the foot by saying that and all will change!
