Just how many milk bottles can one person steal? And how long before the milkman stops delivering as bottles not returned?

You need at least one for each day of the week to save that day's pasta or potato boiling juice for reuse. Or 'whatever the duck you have from a tin' juice.

How on Earth can you test so many recipes in one day?

From real food bloggers know they will make 4 to 6 variations of one recipe in teir testing phase, all with different measures to see how things work out. If she wanted to do that for 14 recipes, that's 56 different recipes at least. It's not really testing this way, just bunging things together, innit? (tbf, one 'recipe' in the Tin Can Can't book was to blend manderings into a juice)

No wonder her recipes are so hit but mostly mis.

That is it - she is also under pressure so how objectively critical is she really going to be? It seems to be a case of 'yes that will do'. The fact she cooked it once is enough. Wouldn't be surprised if she tastes a teaspoonful of the result and thinks 'yep - fine - box ticked' without ever having it as part of a meal let alone several times.

Why is she testing anyway? Surely she just cooks it once and then it's perfect? Or is this the first cook for stuff she's made up in her ickle smol maverick pixie solid skull?

And what's hanging up above the door? Her knickers?

Dear gods, I know I like my utensils to hand on hooks over the range and work surface, but my pots are decently stowed away and the china and glass is behind glass doors to keep them clean.

Absolutely this. She should know that she is in danger of jeopardising future book deals and customer confidence in the finished product by scrap booking all of this slap dash, last minute chaos.

I think she does it because (1) obviously all SM content and likes are good in her book, even if might reflect badly on her and (2) she manipulates the truth so much day to day that she feels compelled to document everything in detail, as she is stuck in the habit of ‘backing up’ all of her outlandish claims.

She’s always so desperate to project I’M SO BUSY I’M SO BUSY I’M SO BUSY, she doesn’t seem to notice that what she actually projects is utter chaos and unprofessionalism.

Luckily for her, she seems to get a shitload of work anyway, so if it ain’t broke...
