Jack Monroe #154 The book has furloughed itself

[Anonymous One]

could I use sausage toffee in place of cinnamon?

Yes, absolutely x

 

[Jelly Bean]

And has she posted off the sub standard tin painting chalks yet?
Poor Squiggle. Waiting patiently with their scrubbed tin cans - small children tugging pitifully at their hem - 'mama, when can we throw balls at the cans?' 'Not yet, little ones, not yet' whilst waiting hopefully for the tread of the postie.
Come on Jack. Do the right thing. Your nation needs you!

The sm*lrobot man called his wife a Spousebot today. To paraphrase Jack, I did a lil sick in my mouth.

he reminds me of comic book guy from the simpsons.

We need to take it right back to basics... where are the chicken livers?

More importantly, has @Geetbo been murdered for actually discovering what happened to the chicken livers...

100% accurate.

Surely the vegan crackling will involve her food waste bin, aka onion and garlic skins... deep fried onion peel maybe? Imagine a world where you freeze outer layers of garlic. Or one where you see this ‘recipe’ and try it?!? Terrible.

Especially those of us who are still wondering what was simmering back in June. (screenshot: Northern Soul)

oh lord, if you're going to take thirst trap pics at least 1) S M I L E and 2) wear something other than your nan's 1950s gym gear!!!

I have the recipe!

Oats
Maple syrup (or golden/treacle/agave/glucose syrup as all syrups are the same).
Oil (sunflower/olive/extra virgin/coconut/melted lard/leftover fat from sausages because all fat is the same).
Cinnamon (or any other spice because all spices are the same).

Put a tablespoon of each into a blender and whizz it up. Cook for 5 hours. Serves 6 people.

Feel free to forward onto Prince Philip

What a star! Can I give it to Wills? He seems to be in contact with the old man.

I hate to destroy anyone's faith in humanity, but when Jack posted her pot of peelings on Facebook, some squiggles asked her for a full recipe.

And the pistachio milk.

Let it go Harry.

We all have to say goodbye and now is your your time.

No, Squiggle.

It's corned beef *face*, not mortadella bum.

And the pistachio milk.

And what can that guy do with his left over chippy chips

Time to say goodbye (con te partito) .

Please don’t be so funny. I am trying to watch BBC parliament.

I once said Con Te Potato on another JM thread, but feels it needs repeating

I hate the term 'ally' too. Makes me thing of all the Nice Guys™️ like the smolrobot man.

God, yeah - I couldn't give a frenchman's duck about anyone's woke bona fides.

It's quite simple: just don't be a twit.

From a Facebook group I’m in about feeding yourself on a budget. Truth be told I joined the group in all seriousness to look for tips but there’s a lot of bollock sausages and stuff like this ... people fawning over Peach and chickpea slurry.

I like how “quite a celebrity” sounds like an insult. Said with a little straightening of a blouse and that tiny cough middle class middle aged women do when they decide something is out of their comfort zone.

I'm a member of that group and loads of squiggles there recommend the chickpea and peach slurry.

I do wonder how much fuel it costs to make that.

I have one friend who makes all her own stock powder and spices from fresh using a dehydrator but she genuinely has severe allergies so can't have any preservatives at all.

So happy that travel restrictions will be lifted in four weeks and I can finally be reunited with my fella I wish it was sooner but knowing it's only four weeks has just taken such a weight off I do feel cheered by these announcements. I know we aren't out of the woods yet but it's nice to actually look to the future isn't it?
