Jack Monroe #102 Stop getting Bond wrong!

OT I love coal tar soap. It reminds me of my dad.

In fact, I bet she has a load of Molton brown soap in posho dispensers in her bathroom just for looks.

BTW this white chocolate spaghetti monstrousness better come soon, this thread is .

Also OT but same about the coal tar soap, my dad used it too

I have an effing zoom call now. All I can say is I can’t wait for eleventybillion hilarious comments when I catch up later

 

[blurstoftimes]

the recipe says it's a goulash, but the picture appears to be some sort of bean burrito?

 

[Puddy Muddle]

At least it is vegan. Probably the only thing that is in that kitchen.

This is because she never washes her hands; that soap is all that remains from her fling with veganism and will be there until the end of time.

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

Ong there is as well!

Those dots aren't on Jack's original upload. They are probably due to a loss of quality as it's downloaded and then uploaded to Tattle.

Countries, herbs, spices, ailments, chicken/beans/mushrooms - all interchangeable in #Jackworld.

ETA: After all, nothing is solid...

Why is she buying stuff if she doesn’t know what she’ll use it for? I tend to plan/prep what I’ll make after having a snoop for what’s on offer and buy bits to fill in the gaps?!

Exactly, she does not even realise what clues she is giving off. If you are poor or not even poor, you don't shop like that. It is pure GREED! If it was a huge amount of other veg and it was nearly off and she had bought it to cook a massive meal (to put it into the freezer or,even better, share), yes, but not for the sake of it.

can't calculate the costs, so you just ignore them. Twat.

 

[Chip1984]

yes when the South African guy comes over and the house isn’t finished yet, maybe she’s made a chandelier out of a load of torches too or just get Louisa to hit the hazards

On a grunka but saw this and had to chirp in to say "Full beam"!

I refuse to believe the lobster story. There is no way she could cook one lobster, let alone two without them clamping themselves to her unruly labia or some such nonsense. Unless and until the recipe for Valentines Ouchy Fanny Lobster is published I call bullshit.

Is this the seafood vagina art? I’m grunking in thread 49 but I also am unwell and may be having a fever dream that I saw this mentioned.

Re: Headrush Spaghetti. I'm not saying I ran so @TurnedUpInTipp can walk, but 2017 Moglits was a fan of Jack's (ssh) and made it.

Now. Three years is a long time, but it wasn't...bad. It broadly worked. I mean, as a Thread 2 Caballer, I am willing to take one for my fraus and herrs and make it again to the absolute letter (as I seem to remember making some small tweaks, like actually roasting the garlic rather than burning my house down), but at the same time if TUIT already has their shopping list of white chocolate and dehydrated mushrooms, then...

I've written this before but our coven has grown since then - tried and tested Jack recipes from memory...

- Chickpea falafels - they're alright
- Red bean and dumpling soup - pretty good, provided you don't mind the minky (teehee) colour
- Feisty Soup - ignore the title, it's alright. Good for blasting away a cold
- Peanut butter and jam cookies - good, in the way that child-made cookies are good and taste vaguely like Play-Doh
- Mushroom, lentil, and ale pie - actually very good, but subject to a lot of tweaking
- Spinach dumplings - absolute disaster, and I could tell from reading the recipe, but gave it a punt and ended up with a pan of floating leaves and flour clumps
- Come to Bed Parmigiana - nice! No-one came around to bone me tho
- Salad bag pesto - made it, didn't die, it was absolutely gross

I think there's more...

You go for it @moglits if you have all the ingredients.
I'm still waiting on Mrs TUIT to get her shit together so we can go shopping. (Which could involve a Garda checkpoint because of lockdown restrictions!)

That pasta shell needs the egg jiggly eye treatment

That tinned spaghetti muck is the other one that calls to me.

I was looking for a recipe to reproduce last night, settled on that one & decided to sleep on it. I actually had nightmares about rinsing spaghetti hoops in a colander. @Warlock review of the dish is casting further doubts in my mind. I’m not sure I’m physically and mentally strong enough to survive the ordeal (and don’t want to turn up at work smelling like I put 6 cloves of garlic in some spaghetti hoops).

Maybe I’ll just make some granola or ping porridge or something.

I do find it odd that she as a cook cannot cook or grasp the basics of cooking. Most people can throw someting reasonable together from about their mid teens. I made my mum and dad a tuna pasta bake when I was 13( basic but adequate for my age) she still before this level and she's outing herself as a professional cook.

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

She’s nobody. You can make one at thispersondoesnotexist.com

Off topic but my brother told me about this website last year it scares me. Like they’re people but they aren’t .

 

[boysinthehood]

I thought Jack didn't drive because she couldn't pass her driving test, not because she made a conscious decision not to drive on environmental grounds.

Or because she can't afford a car. Or because of her ADHD and/ or her maverick brain.

 

[NP]

Here we go with a bit of nostalgia to get the crowd going. She's my age. She doesn't really remember these things never mind use them

Same. I have no idea what any of these things smell like.

That pasta looks like a headshot from 'American Sniper'
