Nope, she has 589023 recipes to "concoct" this week, no time to test out any recipes. However if you are willing to pay $84 a month you can test them for her!


eta - there are only 17 spots left for this opportunity.
So with 214 "patrons" paying 84 dollars per month she is raking in around 14.5k in sterling a month from that alone! Yet there she is begging for a gifted fridge and for donations to her "tip jar"..... Hardly the patron saint of poverty is she? What a charlatan.

Well, well well what have we here then! 🙄View attachment 133819
Probably nominated herself she is that arrogant. (don't sue me). How anyone could nominate plates for slop for this award might want to go to Specsavers.

I wonder if the judges have ever tried any of her recipes?????
The ones that have teeth, probably not.

These photos look nice. Why are Jack’s photos so relentlessly grim??
Because the food is grim. You cannot make wanksplat in a bowl look good.

She has 5 levels, starting off at $4, so the 217 patrons could be paying her anywhere between $4 and $84, minimum will be $868 p/m. (Not sure if any fees are taken off, or she gets the full amount?) Still a nice amount for shoving together unidentifiable, untested slop and putting on her website. Which has ads on, so more money from that.

Patreon takes 5% fees I do believe.

And dodgy Stuart no doubt...
I dont think superfan has signed up. She said she couldn't afford Cack's new book of slop and sludge but JM is going to send her one.

‘Where’s Mummys breakfast?’ he asks, big blue eyes and two year old concern. 'Don't worry, I'll have a sandwich at Grandma's house', I reply. 'You can have some bread and jam there if you're still hungry. Now run and get your toy dinosaur, you're going to stay with Grandma for a few hours whilst mummy looks for a job.'

Hope they are vegan cheese slices.

Her Twatter feed is seriously tiring. Like she is practising her Oscar speech. I'd like to thank my fans, who saw me thru the dark days..... bladdy bladdy bladdy.

Another book recommendation. Animal, vegetable, miracle by Barbara kingsolver. It describes her family's move to Virginia, where they try to eat only locally and grow their own food. She's wonderful at describing the seasons, her garden and community. It's interspersed with a few recipes. It is def NOT vegan (slaughter is described in detail), but I still loved it. She's a wonderful writer.

She’s number two and three in the “personal finance” book charts! But REST ASSURED EVERYONE, this does not mean she is suddenly wealthy, ok? Keep on with the tip jar, free SMEGs please...

I have woken in a foul mood, after realising I was grinding my teeth so badly I have chipped a huge piece off my front tooth. Not sure today I can read any JM nonsense and not reply. She’s already blocked me on Twitter so it may need to be Instsa!!

Honestly, what appalling behaviour !! Morally bankrupt. There will be people giving her money each month who can hardly afford it and she is gummily gurning all the way to the bank ! On another note i was on my daily walk earlier, the smell of forest, the bird sounds ❤ - here a photo for you wonderful Hausfrauen 🌳🌳

That sounds just the sort of thing I like to read, will give it a look ☺

Look at this tonight. Not a tin of chickpeas in sight.

Someone showing others how to cook on a budget with nutritious food, something JM could never do. Watch out Jack, comes out for your crown. And not a moment too soon.

Jack will most definitely not be hooting and someone upstaging her.
LOL at the claim that £50 per week on food is living frugally, but then it is the DM. I spend slightly less than that for 2 (adult and one teenage gannet) and we eat pretty well! Food does look nice though.

This is a long post to read if you can be bothered but since it’s on the subject of patron I thought I would share that my artist friend has launched hers and it couldn’t be more different than JM. So much gratitude to her audience who help her pay her bills.
That seems to me what Patreon should be about and makes perfect sense. Nicely written too and not at all be beggy or manipulative

During this lockdown, I have to admit our food bill has gone up. However, with the garden now planted with all types of veg, the strawberries and blueberries going mental. the food bill will actually come down. But people can deffo eat well for under 50 quid.

I saw Mike Tindall on BBC Breakfast this morning. He was talking about how the pandemic has been impacting on the charities he supports and I guess hopefully raising some awareness of them. It made me think that although Jack styles herself as a poverty campaigner and food bank supporter (though think that has disappeared from her Twitter bio and been replaced by TV presenter) she very infrequently users her sizeable platform to promote these causes, small charities etc. And if she does mention them, it's because she has donated some books or something else self serving so actually ends up all about her anyway.

Fellow hasufrau, I want to say thank you. All this chat about MH and recovery, hobbies and charlatans has made me reflective. I'm been spending the lockdown thinking about myself (how JM) and have begun taking tentative steps towards my PGED in primary education. I'm hoping to start next year. I'm the same age as JM and looking as her house of cards begin to fall, I felt sorry for her. She's buggered when this is over. I've not been in work for a while so my skills are dated. I begun thinking about what makes me happy and fulfilled. My daughter has had a gorgeously supportive teacher who has made a real impact on her confidence, education and overall happiness. Wouldn't it be great to be able to help like that?
As we broke down JM's lies and how she doesn't actually help, it made me realise I did. My priority would be to move into working with disadvantaged children, or those who need help outside mainstream education. Without seeing some mirroring of myself, I don't think I'd ever taken the time to figure this out. I still want to be able to take my daughter to clubs and not be rushed. I want to be able to feel fulfilled and I don't want to be 38 when she finishes school and be entering the workforce at the bottom.
So I'd like to reiterate that thank you for giving this internet troll the confidence to move on from housewife life. Like I said tentative steps. I think I need to brush up on some stuff and I'm trying to get some classroom experience. Be the change you want to see, not a grifter in socialist clothing.
I best learn how to proof read. 😆 😆

yehthe only time ive seen her mention food banks was a bragging tweet to the food bank in question stating how much she'd given with a receipt
