She was so chaotic, the fact that she had wrong ingredients (skinless, boneless) for the recipe is not even high on the list of what was bad.

Upside-down chicken thighs aren’t a ‘thing’ you’d name a recipe for. They’re literally just turned skin side down. Or not.

That slimy, unbrowned chicken skin, cooked in its own ephemera 🤢 did she even say how long for? I’ve never known her to brown meat. I don’t think she knows how.
Chicken skin is slimy and nasty if not crisp, that's why mom when she makes her chicken, thyme and lemon slow cooked chicken thighs tells you that after you have slow cooked the thighs under foil to take the foil of, turn them skin side up and cook until the skin is crisp and delicious

Hello chaps.
Long time etc. I saw that she was doing a live yesterday/today and couldn’t resist coming back for a looksee.

Christ, that was bad. I generally love watching people cook, I find it seriously relaxing. But that was clenchingly painful to view which made my shoulders practically reach my ear holes. I didn’t watch live, just the Mel Donte posted vid - how can someone be that badly prepared for something they literally have the whole day to sort out for? Unbelievable.

It was the cooking equivalent of Spud’s interview in Trainspotting.

@Alansbigplate - any chance of a reface of that?
Hahahahhaahhaa..... I was literally thinking of Spud’s interview during a work thing earlier. It really was!

the reality is she wants to be sent loads of gritted stuff for free but doesn’t want to actually put in the work.


the other week I ventured into thread 1- first couple of posts was about a questionable promotion of a blue tooth eye mask. It made me laugh as my partner bought me one recently so I can listen to my “rain sounds rit*” before bed....


*his words the big romantic 😂

Well I just watched it and it was not the worst ever - for her. However as an actual recipe it was quite useless. No explanation as to use why I would use
pineapple on chicken - what it contributes, no idea how long to cook it, baffling inclusion of rice at the end.
Her presentation was slightly better than usual but her crippling fear makes it so uncomfortable to watch.
As a novice young Youtuber - not bad. As a highly paid professional whose job this is - well she came across as a novice young Youtuber :rolleyes:

I can’t cope with Mary Poppins. How much can one person cringe in one day? I’m going to A&E mate.

Offtopic of jack, but on topic of del Monte and pineapples..

Is anyone else weirdly interested in their bioengineered pink pineapple that comes in a gift box with a certificate of authenticity for 49 bucks? 🤣

The man from del Monte isn't doing a great job of selling it on the socials; saying it's tastes like normal pineapple but a bit sweeter. Well that justifies the premium. So it's people buying to take photos for social media then? Either that or a wedding gift.

Pinkglow pineapple del Monte
I usually put a cut in half pineapple (any brand will do) in thrice cooked beetroot water and let it marinade gently for 10 minutes and bung it into a shoe box. Comes a bit cheaper. Cabal, check your doorsteps on your birthdays. 😉

Chef's kiss x

My favourite part is 'spit-spot' <minor seizure>

Lolllllll Alan I thought I misheard that, she can't even have a birthday message without shoe-horning in an ailment! Imagine your entire identity being a Frankenstein's monster of disorders and illnesses instead of actual human characteristics and individual personality traits 🥴

Just had what can only be described as a Jack Monroment...skidded on the wet bathroom floor, slammed my foot into my scales and somehow shattered them completely. Shards of glass everywhere, I'm unhurt except for a sore toe but I'm thinking this should be worth at least a few days off work, right?

Oh wow, what app are you using, I met the current Mr. Rebel off Free Dating 14 years ago?
I'm just using tinder because 🔺️I'm banned from POF; hes just sent me an unsolicited fool pic via WhatsApp so I definitely feel giving up the date for the grunk was worth it.

It should go on your bio.

Edit: Glad you did not hurt yourself in an awful way.

Maybe get an mri just incase and your best highlighter out.
