Yes I think that is it. She thinks she is oh so kerr-azy and cute. A maverick some might say.

She is a 32 year old with countless opportunities to act like a professional grown up but she chooses to be an inept twat instead. And that ain't down to her supposed ADHD.

'You too could be the proud owner of a book populated entirely with random shit I hoiked out of drawers at the last minute and padded out with the Twitter equivalent of Reader's Handy Tips from Take a Break. Only £15.99 to you (and about twenty grand to meeeeeeeeee - ha, ha, aren't I clever and you are all so stupid as to think that I actually work at this shit!'


This approach clearly didn't work for your GCSEs, so why do you think it'll work for your actual 'job'?

And how much kitchen roll would you use? At what cost? Surely fresh oil is cheaper/nicer?

Going back a bit but was just wondering - why don't we ever see the rabbit?? She's always going on about floofs/cattos/doggos etc but we never, ever see photos posted of it. Seems odd as she's always posting photos of Cooper . What is it even called?

HMRC check the papers and public records which includes social media and Twitter - so she should beware of talking about her taxes online

One of those pieces of paper is just a list of HER OWN slow cooker recipes that have already been published, and is therefore useless. The list she put together when she was procrastinating over the last book. With her special pens THAT NOBODY SHALL TOUCH OKAY.

iirc, she said recently-ish that the bunny is called Dash. I hope they get time out of the garage to run about the massive garden, poor bugger

Green rice with brown lentils sounds particularly, brown.

30g of spinach. Nice portioning there. It isn’t like spinach retains it’s volume when cooked or anything.

I am bored with commenting on her portion sizes.

Back to Bling Empire (please don’t judge, the ironing pile is growing again ).

Quelle surprise she's pulling out the ADHD excuse again. She mentioned it on the podcast actually because of course she fucking did. Said she was diagnosed with SEVERE adult ADHD which is now treated with medication when she remembers to take it. Maybe I'm being stupid but since she can apparently set an alarm to remind her to eat, could she not just set a daily alarm to take her tablets?

Wait, what am I thinking? That would be A SENSIBLE SOLUTION. Give me strength.

I'm actually really annoyed about the book thing. A cookery book is supposed to have a theme of sorts which defines the recipes. Like tin can cook was bad but it stuck to the idea of tins (sort of, one recipe involved rinsing beans and making a new sauce for them which I'm now suspicious was repackaged from a completely unrelated to tins recipe).

But if she's digging up faded old recipe cards to put in this book then there has been no idea the book germinated around, no testing or tweaking of recipes to fit the idea, its just a churned out contract fulfiller thrown together out of whatever the fuck she found lying around.

I have some kind of issue with condiments, they make me feel sick. Jack’s oil-processing hell makes me feel extra unwell. All kinds of second-hand no end date, no provenance oils, potentially fishy or garlicky
I just know her house is minty

I love condiments and I still hate the thought of inhaling in the shitty bungalow!

But not too long before its 99p on Kindle. Tin Can Cook published May 2019. Was available for some time recently at that price. Her Year in 120 recipes currently for sale . Should Vegan-ish appear at that price, I'll bite.
