Jack Monroe #17 The shed is dead, shaved her head, on the beg for a left-hand Smeg

[I steal names]

I have a labrador, who is basically a walking food disposal for the kids. Tempted to try a recipe out, I'm *that* bored.

The rinsed hoops are a triumph in brown food!

Just me, it does this cake look suspiciously like the maggots from above, burrowing in the ground?

Really sorry, but I can't remember who recommended this recipe for verdure in scapece

Italian Pickled Vegetables (Verdure in Scapece) - Our Italian Table

“Vedure in Scapece” is a summer dish from Naples found in Italian delis all over America. It’s the go-to recipe in Italy for people who have loads of zucchini, eggplant, peppers and other vegetables in their summer garden. The funny thing is that it is usually translated as “marinated...

But I've just made/assembled it for my mum's birthday on Friday and it looks and smells utterly lush, so big thank you. x

It was me!! I only found that recipe a couple of weeks ago when I was desperately trying not to waste the courgettes and aubergines I had which were going soft, it's brilliant, isn't it? I'm now going to buy even extra vegetables just to make it with.

Yay! Thank you. It's lovely. I may have tested it a just *little* bit.

This. This is brilliant.

It looks like worms wiggling on a plate. I want someone to next make Jack’s horse spunk bechamel and video evidence it.

I would try it for my beloved fraus, but I am vegan and I don’t know a horse (too fancy) X

This post is hilarious, I keep re reading and getting more hysterical. “It tasted exactly as expected which was not good.”

Your daughter’s tiny hand has made me a little teary eyed what a cutie - I’m an incredibly hormonal pregnant woman - bless her for enjoying it though, I hope she felt like she was on a terrace on the Amalfi coast eating Italy’s finest goods x

Oh bless you, pregnancy is wild for emotions! Glad you found it amusing, no Italian holiday this year with corona but that doesn’t mean she can’t sample the culinary delights à la Jack x

Jack calling herself an irreverent maverick (=talentless hack) for the billionth time and greedily hoovering up all the gushing compliments from deluded blue-tickers sent me into a funk and I needed a breather.

But @Instabums' fearless and funny contribution to slop truthing has revived my spirits no end. 'Bums, I am sending you a casket of gold ingots.

Look at how skinny I am! But don’t you dare comment on it or i’ll go nuts at you.

I'm much better today, after my rant! Think the four walls were just closing in on me.

Not sure how many of you are old enough to remember, but that hair reminds me of Sindy, with hair that grows. It was just a hole in the top of the dolls head where you could pull out a tuft, not dissimilar to JM's

 

[Silver Linings]

She’s even done that stupid Kardashian thing of pulling her knickers up under her armpits and cutting her front bottom in half.

Ha ha, yes!

Omg can you please share your wisdom on this? How do you cut & how is best to root? I’ve followed online guides before and failed!

I bought a load of lovely plants from patch and they’re plentiful, I want to make some cuttings and duplicate - a cheeky two for the price of one then isn’t it

Also superb title x

All I know is from trial and error - many errors

Definitely let them settle in, give them time to find their feet in their new home. You might need to move them around to find their happiest spot. When they are settled in and growing, for most plants (eg ivy, coffee, philodendron) I just gently pull apart through the middle, separate the roots, unwind any roots if it’s pot bound and then pot both separately. Don’t go too big on the new pot, the plant won’t like it. And get the potting mix for indoor plants and I usually mix in some extra perlite for drainage.

Now back to the thirst trapper

Wow, I know that we don’t know what has happened with her relationship (if anything) but this and others smack of ‘look what you’re missing!’ IMO!

Basically we started talking about podcasts, Diana Henry, propagating plants, decent folks using Patreon correctly, new careers etc etc....she has been plotting all day how to get the attention back on her and not just her rinsed spaghetti hoops.

Well played Jack, well played!

Well we now know who took the picture and she’s up to amazing feats of weightlifting again 93kg this time, all on her OWN don’t you know!

Maggots from above?

This interaction can we please have an artist’s recreation of the cake that looks like it featured on line of duty as a shallow grave?

 

[Pocahontas]

I thought you weren’t allowed people into your garden?
Unless it’s SB and his new ‘school of life’ task is to be her unpaid assistant (cos furlough)
