That she was shocked that someone considers her hard work is priceless and to then take it to Twitter for a bit of ego stroking sympathy is comedy gold.
It’s still there in all its ridiculousness. For me, anyway.I think she's deleted that stupid bloody tweet about being asked to become a fellow of the Royal Academy but losing the letter.
Nigel Slater was on the radio the other day mithering on about crumpets (seriously, he spent about ten minutes just talking by himself about how to butter them.) Interestingly, he does not make his own. He buys them. It makes sense to buy them. They're not that expensive, and when you're working hard, leaving early in the morning, coming back in the evening, and just need a carbohydrate/hot butter fix, last thing you want to do is to faff about making them...View attachment 318516
Haven’t we already had this one, toot sweets?

Her food to be his all a bit of an unnecessary faff. Her recipies don't seem to be here's a 5 minute crumpet mixture it all takes 5000 years.Nigel Slater was on the radio the other day mithering on about crumpets (seriously, he spent about ten minutes just talking by himself about how to butter them.)

I like to make God food but quickly because you know..
Busy
That's what I've been wondering. The Royal Academy on its own usually refers to the Royal Academy of Art, and they're the ones who use the abbreciation RA, but they don't have Fellows, they have Academicians. To become an RA you have to be (a) under 75, (b) professionally active as an artist or architect in the UK, (c) nominated by an existing RA and (d) have your nomination supported by another eight RAs. Then you become a candidate and new RAs are voted in from the candidate list three times a year IF there is a vacancy - there are a maximum of 80 RAs at any one time and new ones are only admitted if there's a death or an RA reaches 75 and becomes a Senior RA.Royal Academy of what , I can’t see what the ever so easy going and placid Jack is referring to.

Literally - if you just type in 'Jack Monroe orange salt' it comes straight up.
I do worry for these squiggles who seem to be a jaggedy, pickle-heavy, batshit-crazy-filling, not-ouchy-mouth-friendly crisp sandwich short of a picnic.
After a quick Google, it's clear that fellowship of the RSA can be applied for, there are 30000 'fellows'. It seems fairly unlikely that they just sent her a letter out of the blue asking her to be a fellow, there's an interview process apparently etc etc, if it isn't complete bullshit it has a very heavy lying by omission smell to it.It’s still there in all its ridiculousness. For me, anyway.
But that's the RSA, not the RA. You know she is forensic in her detail. There's no way she would get them mixed up, would she?After a quick Google, it's clear that fellowship of the RSA can be applied for, there are 30000 'fellows'.
