She’ll probably use the spud water gravy two more times like the beetroot water. We’ll see spud gravy porridge for breakfast tomorrow followed by spud gravy risotto.
Momgella is all over re-using spud and pasta water in her new book.

Hi Jack @Flash123 posted about having it separately and like magic, here you are addressing that. Are you being a peeky mink on tattle again?
She must have set up post notifications for me just like I set up Twitter notifications the other day during the chartwells chaos! The speed in which she replied was almost as speedy as my screenshot and post.

safe to say neither Jack nor I are BUSY today!

THiS IS GOING IN AN ACTUAL RECIPE BOOK THAT PEOPLE WILL PAY REAL MONEY FOR

Catching up so posting from the past but bravo! Can I suggest you do a kickstarter for these maverick recipes, should only take you multiple years.

The del monte pineapple chunks reminds me though, have we seen a single other recipe from them? Or Linda McCartney for that matter?

Our favourite semi vegan pescatarian bodybuilder is of course having chicken and bistro gravy for dinner I note with absolutely zero surprise.

she cooked a private dinner for MARY PORTAS, for fuck's sake!
There is no amount of money I would not pay to get the scoop from Mary Portas, I'm even willing to sell all my Cotswold sideboards and the emin but can you IMAGINE her side of this event?!

Poor mary probably said she didn't feel well, took two bites then fled and ordered a takeaway on the way home. Or was this all a huge exaggeration and it turns out jack and Mary Portas were just both at the same social gathering and jack handed her a sausage roll from the buffet?

I too have a 10 yr old boy he says things like " Minecraft blah blah blah roadblocks blah blah blah and when I got six inches chopped off my hair " it looks middle aged" and you look a like a witch with that grey bit, a cool witch.
If anyone has ever watched The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, the way Jack portrays SB reminds me of how Buckley acts when Jacqueline puts him on ADHD meds, proper children of the corn style acting.

I don’t believe any child would say ever meal was the best ever. Where is the ‘it was alright’ response. Total bollocks (like the sausages she buys)

First time poster here! I've been lurking since the days of DKL and the 'That Man' chaos..I don't use Twitter so first became aware of Jack when I noticed their name kept being mentioned in the comments section of the Guardian whenever there was an article on storecupboard ingredients..I looked up her recipes and they all seemed fairly grim. My top 3 Jack moments so far are Viv (RIP), Brenda's Bangers and the horror film type voice whispering 'you're on, you're on' ( I think during the shed cooking?). Big thanks to the cabal for keeping me hooting over these last few difficult months. Will probably go back to lurking now!

So many of the experiences JM talks about are just thinks she did on a blue Monday (is that a thing in English too? Meaning it was a very short period) or once, but acts like a spokesperson about it.

Reminds me of a colleague's partner in the pub sharing something like: "When I bake bread I like to put olives in the loaf". To which said colleague responed: "In the five years I've known you, you baked bread once, Geoff".

It's the Oliver Twist 'please sir, can I have some more?' vibe that does it for me. It's such an unnatural way to hold a bowl. I've honestly never seen anyone hold a bowl or plate in that way and I've seen some sights.
I'm sure we once saw a side view and she stands the bowl on something so she can take these bizarre photos

Again, my family (and myself) would disown me for defending a Tory twice in 2 days. When I watched this when first broadcast I thought Toff was very interesting and open to discussion. It seemed very one sided as Jack just sucks up to her. Can't say I agree with either on this performance, but Toff wanted to listen.
Several years on, I still think Jack would benefit from listening. She really has created an echo chamber - not all criticism is trolling
