  1. Very cool, Diane. Didn’t ever think of using mayonnaise in this sense, although I’ve done something similar for fish. Will have to try this one out! 😋

    • Nothing fancy with this one Linda and it would even work in a slow cooker. I am never going to stop trying to get you to cook! Oh wait, that means you will need a range. 🤣

      • Ha ha – yes, I know. A year or so ago, I said “when I retire, I will try the recipes in the crockpot cookbook.” Not tried any yet. Yes, my range is just for decoration, to match the fridge and to put stuff on top of it, which I shouldn’t do in case I turned it on accidentally.

        So far my little ants which erupted this week have not been awfully bad because I usually have to put the crockpot out of commission for almost a month as they tend to come in at that portion of my meager countertop area and there is no plug for it on the other side.
