I bet this forum has done more for independent businesses that she has.

I used a slow cooker when making stews with tough, cheaper cuts of meat. Cooking at a low heart for hours tenderises it and lets all the flavours infuse. You can do things like brisket or tangines which do taste really nice. But you have to use it with purpose if that makes sense! I will typically use it for more stew-like dishes where I want a depth of flavour.
Also in the pre covid days, putting all the ingredients in prior to leaving for work and then comimg home to a ready cooked meal was fab. They're perfectly safe to leave on all day and I think because they use little electricity they are cheaper to have on for 8 hours on low than a casserole on a hob for 3.
From now on, instead of saying "have you got money to burn?" when I see frivolous spending, I'm going to say "have you got butter to burn?". Well, it'll amuse me anyway!
Biscuits and gravy. But the “biscuit” is not unlike a scone — pretty dense. I think of scones as coffee shop food and they seem massive and unruly and usually more savoury over here.
Highly unlikely she’d be paying Caroline out of her own pocket to do nothing when she could pay her to do something - there’s clearly work to be done, work she’d largely be able to do from home. Doesn’t add up...
It's not her fault she's read up here & completely confused a learned Fraus mantra of 'under promise & over deliver'
C'mon guys, it'll be her severe acronymism flaring up again.
Yes, her name is legally Jack Monroe. That is one thing that she is truthful aboutView attachment 322143View attachment 322144View attachment 322145View attachment 322147View attachment 322148
Going to be a wee bit pedantic and say her name is Jack.
Something that I never understood is why people ask well meaning people for money to top up the pocket.
What I mean is I get homeless people asking for money to feed themselves but general people who do have some sort of work.
Growing up my mum never asked for money and if she did it was like ten pounds to buy some food until she got paid but she paid back, she never dreamed of keeping it. Even now I live within my means if my bills start too look to hefty 8 cut back, get a cheaper phone bill, no treats, use less of stuff to make it last. If I do need money I make sure I pay it back once I have gotten it. I really don't understand this can you too up my wage business.

Ah, I see!
so sorry - I also just realised in your other post you said you were in Canada! And there’s me launching in with ‘I thought y’all eat scones with gravy’
Sorry about that!
Question.
What is the difference between a scone and a biscuit in America?
(I have a lot of other questions related to American food stuffs, mostly coming from watching Ina and the Pioneer woman on repeat but I dare not go OT.)
ETA just seen you have answered my question !!!
Careful now, "unruly" conjures up different images on these threads...
Poca doesn’t know she thought Canada was in the USA
Sorry it’s too bleeping boring to check but has anyone mentioned she’s a maverick for putting squirts cream on a scone.
Yawn bleeping yawn 🥱
I’ve managed mailing lists. It’s very easy to get someone to build a basic database that you can select by different requirements, and can be exported into a document to print straight onto sticky labels. The main work is adding the addresses.
However seeing as people are literally paying you to
do that it not a onerous task.

The post office is literally a 5 min walk from her house, if that.

How does this get any chat going, honestly. If I even texted my mates that level of convo the tumbleweeds would be in an abundance. Who actually cares what sort of cream you have a a cheap scone.
I think she means colosseum you know that big ruin in Rome. Perhaps she's relocated in the night?!

What does Caroline actually do? Take away the writing out lists and colouring in, and what would Jack do with her time? She doesn't appear to have any notion of databases or mail merge for address labels, let alone any technological office advance over the past thirty years.
the other instafeeds give me cravings for dim sum and roast chicken. Jack’s....reminds me to slosh some toilet duck down the kids loo
