The next time she coyly alludes to Tattle on Twitter, we can expect They even used hi-tech Russian hacking techniques to breach my personal data

Just wanted to say (the reappearance of the grated mushrooms has reminded me) that whenever my dog does an unimpressive poo nowadays, I tut at him and say 'Well, *that* was a disappointing yield" as I pick it up, and I chuckle to myself. @heretoreaditall2019

I have HOOTED up a lung this morning lads

Ah the sun is shining, the birds are singing and Jack has presented us with an early morning chaos.

Could the day get any better?!

Serves 4 with 150g of mushrooms and a can of jackfruit? Is she taking the piss? She needs to therefore double her costings because that would serve at 2 at a push. She also hasn't included rice in this, which is a clear focal point in the picture and probably would be the most substantial part of the meal.

Lord Jesus Christ.....a whole essay to describe chopping mushrooms, when you can also just list 'finely chopped or grated mushrooms' in the ingredient list. That way you can also prep better.

I prefer things to be short and sweet in a recipe and save my nostalgic references to the 80s or 90s for texts with friends.

At the start of the show it is really obvious that Matt is stroking his forearms in a deliberate manner. Proof positive that he or his wife was reading here and having a good laugh.
Jack was asked what to do with the leftover oil in the frying pan after frying fish. She said filter it back into the bottle. What, so that all the oil tastes fishy? All the fresh oil in the bottle will be tainted with used oil reducing its shelf life. I don't want my fried egg at breakfast tasting fishy thank you.

I have given up on the rest of it, might go back later today after I deep clean the kitchen 12 times.

A quick calculation shows the calories per portion of that to be just over 180. The majority of the calories actually come from the 3tbsp of cooking oil, which account for half of that 180 .

Ah but you are forgetting you also get 1/4 of a small can of pineapple!

In all seriousness though, her serving sizes are ridiculous. Sure, your recipe will seem cheap - IF YOUR SERVINGS ARE MINISCULE. Maybe she could reduce the price by... I don't know... not using branded pineapple.
