I haven't visited Jack's maverick little world for a while and see she is giving advanced cookery lessons to a novice  but tell me this dear cabal - does she actually sautée onions yet? Or still follow the bung them in school of thought - precious quirky little scamp that she is.

My god I just remembered- she ruined my roux! I am perfectly capable of making a roux and I’d read her tip somewhere that you can just “bung it all in together” so I tried that and predictably it didn’t work.

I hate how JM makes all the people in her life into these pathetic reductive caricatures against their will to add in when she needs them for made up anecdotes. SB = smelly, aching for independence. SB dad = compliant bloke, ex mcdonald's employee. BB = shit cook, eager mentee

Contrast and compare the smart price cupboard to this flashy showing off. I’m so cross on behalf of her patrons.

Her roux advice is, predictably, wrong. You don't specify a standard quantity of milk FFS, because you'll want it thicker or thinner depending on the dish. For macaroni cheese, it'll be a little thinner; for croquetas, it has to be solid. And for lasagne...

ETA: plus, if Squiggle's issue is a grainy cheese sauce, the issue is likely that he's adding the cheese while the heat is on. Turn the heat off, then add the cheese. But Jack doesn't know this, and in fact recommends turning the heat UP when adding the cheese because there is not a single cooking process she won't fuck up.

Imagine having to try and get this VALIDATION by spewing your every brain fart onto Twitter everyday.

Tell us again how you came up with healthy meal vouchers. And mushroom dust. And everything ever ever ever you pathetic narc.

I have seen tweets from these people on Twitter before.
What will happen is Jack claiming 'this is trans bullying'..
There will be a pile-on of JK Rowling proportions and she will grift on, probably adding more followers and nothing will change.
Perhaps another Guardian article off the back of it.

You will get there, I promise. I was in an abusives relationship for just five months and the effects can last a long time but you won’t even think about him soon! I hope you have a speedy recovery. He sounds like a dick xx
