I think I have just laughed up a lung 
Was catching up on the last few pages, and saw this picture . Thought to myself, ok it’s a bit of a strange way to present your ingredients but it looks more hopeful than grated corned beef.
Then I realised it was an advert. For dog food

This will get deleted...
It's like she doesn't really have a sense of identity, and keeps trying on different roles. So far there has been work hard play hard Jack, Skint single mum Jack, Angry politico Jack, Lesbian Jack, Transgender Jack, Disabled Jack, Jack in recovery, house wife Jack, quirky manic Jack, and now, hippy boho Jack.

Agreed, and seeing how many lovely comments have been left so quickly underneath it I can see why you’d be tempted to seek solace with a sad caption.
Yeah initially they do make me feel weird, but you’ve got to audit what actually went on and time and time again these posts are wrapped up in self and simply not true (* if she is talking about these threads, I can’t comment for other shit going on online - it’s a huge place).
It’s okay to be upset by comments on your food if that’s your pride and joy, but you can also just say that is what is bothering you rather than leave purposefully ominous ambiguities? Or say that you’re embarrassed by inconsistencies in your past and would rather they weren’t mentioned, that is all totally understandable and tbh if you did own it then no one could say shit anyway. Maybe she’ll be liberated of this one day, I hope so for her sake and I really hope she doesn’t genuinely dislike herself.
However - I really resent being falsely represented like I’m some nutter sending out my toenail clippings when the reality is I’ve had a laugh at grating mushrooms & tinned meat, a Samsung 2004 tablet filming license fee payer’s programming, and Matt stage whispering the word terrible.

I feel like she could’ve come up with a snappier title considering she’s the owner of ‘depressipes’ ™️:
Up In Flames with Jack Monroe
Coronacooking
Anything THAT MAN can do I can do better
In the shed with butane!
One pan Pan-demic

This. Of all her ailments, the arthritis one is the fishiest claim to me. Like your poor uncle, my mum has rheumatoid arthritis and has struggled with it for years. She's tried medications like Methotrexate but they had awful side effects, so she gets by on a combination of painkillers and steroid injections. She has spells where it eases but it never goes away, and when it's bad, she's crippled with pain in her joints and the tiredness that comes with every movement being an effort. Her knuckle joints are inflamed to twice the normal size. But she would never describe herself as disabled.
Jack went through a phase of describing herself as disabled and had a disabled icon in her Twitter bio for a while. She described her knee as 'blowing out' on a plane, which didn't sound like any language I've heard relating to arthritis. She would post photos of her 'gnarled' hands as 'proof' but they just looked like normal hands purposely made into claw shapes. The arthritis seemed to loom large around the time of the Hopkins court case and the Kickstarter criticism. But then she'd talk about covering great miles walking her son to school. There were also long-distance walks for charity, with no reference to any kind of struggle with mobility. She made a big noise about buying a rowing machine and going flat out on it. She's now bouncing onto beds in her freaky-deek YouTube videos like a boneless wonder.
Also around the time of the court case, she posted a photo of her walking cane. Then there were press photos of her outside court with her lawyer, who has MS and walks with a stick. I remember thinking - is that where she's got the idea from? Then I felt terrible for even thinking that, as so many arthritis sufferers were responding to her in sympathy.
I used to be close friends with a compulsive liar, and you could see those whoppers from space. But what I realised was that he was either unaware or unconcerned about being plausible, as long as the lies achieved what he needed in the moment - attention, pity, a shag, a get-out clause, feeling special. Consciously or not, he was relying on the delicacy of those around him not to confront the issue.
I suspect it's the same with Jack Monroe. It's no way to live. But it doesn't stop me being angry because she's monetising falsehoods. In my opinion. I feel the same way about illness tourism as I do about poverty tourism - it's morally reprehensible and in spectacularly poor taste.
Sorry, bit of a rant there.

Just been perusing her new methlab/Kitchen and noticed the delish recipe for carrot sick in a jar... now, as I'm aware Ms Monroe is a likkle bit umpty about her ownership of recipes, ideas etc being used.
Maybe she shouldn't be so quick to steal too... the carrot cake oats was in Sarah Wilson's I quit sugar cookbook back in 2012 ish, the pesto salad bag was too... among others. Sarah also wrote a book years ago on using all the food, scraps, recycling and repurposing on low budgets....
Buttcrackcook has been stealing ideas and making them shitter for years.
Even from hillbilly meth cooks now.

Good to see Lisa again, still giving no fucks whatsoever.

I mentioned earlier about her transmogrifying periodically like Jeff Goldblum in 'The Fly'. I now see where she got her Bechamel sauce inspiration from.

Again? I can’t keep up with all this flip flopping between cheeky little internet monkeys and evil hurtful trolls.

It’s genius, by completely ignoring her existence he totally wins. Silence is powerful.

According to Mumsnet everyone is entitled to a free half hour with any solicitor/barrister of their choice. So if we all pick the same one, there is enough of us that those half hours will add up and our representation will be free!

I've just filed a freedom of information act to the BBC about the number and types of complaints they received in regards to JM's co-presenting stint on DK.

A mere 11 hours ago she tweeted that she is so happy. Now this morning her relationship is falling apart and she can’t eat or sleep. Which one is it ?

Jamie Oliver is releasing a #cookwithjack hashtag - someone from his cookery school doing lunches for kids on a budget!
There's a Matt in the kitchen what am I gonna do?

I'm gonna lick that Matt, that's what I'm gonna do,
