Like a bug hotel you might make with your kids.

What an uninspiring lump to present to people for Veganuary. And it comes with the dreaded "it'll thicken..." sauce too? 😬
Remember in primary school when they got you to stick pasta on some card and give it to your mum for Mother’s Day? That.

Why does she blend bechamel ingredients? I just do not get it! Can't she make it the normal way???? (no)

Also not everyone can afford a bloody blender!

I am here to defend pastitsio
It is supposed to hold its shape well
Much pride in uniform holes

See example below for comparison, this is a little anaemic and pale on top though

She just doesn't know how to cook, does she. There's reasons becamel is made the way it is.

I did spot the 'dinky clove of garlic' has made it's way into the recipe ("4 large cloves of garlic or 6 dinky ones").

Thank(space)you for all your hard work. £35 a month for parking at work sounds absolutely outrageous to me! Very unfair x
Years ago (more than 5) 🔺I worked at a large hospital and with staff discount, it was £12 a day. But there were not enough spaces for the amount of staff. I used to arrive early and park elsewhere and walk in

I just bought some Linda Mccartney sausages...wish I'd stuck to quorn
Woah woah woah! Linda Links are innocent bystanders in all this. This is someone in marketing having an episode, it's happened in a few companies now because we live in a cursed decade.

Exactly my thought re the blender. She doesn’t give an alternative.

I have actually wondered if I am missing something as I can’t see how the blended bechamel works but she keeps going back to it.

Oops guys. Just checked my payslips and I actually haven’t been charged for parking at my NHS trust since March of last year! I knew they had suspended charges in the first lockdown but didn’t realise it had continued throughout. Didn’t even need a Twitter campaign.

Sorry back to Jack, just didn’t want my misinformation to stand! 🤍

Girls none of us should have to go back to the post Quorn burps, Linda’s come so far we have to forgive the occasional lapse in judgment

Hit up Whitty anyway with a pile on! Tell him and Hancock you know your rights and you want what you’ve already got, but NOW!! Write to your MP, too.
