Jack Monroe #193 Mama, pass the UNICEF statistics and the Hansards!

[L3moning]

I’m still in awe of your triumph of using Red Bull in a sweet and sour and living to tell the tale. It sounds like a mad scientist style explosion in the kitchen waiting to happen!

I will say that it didn't smell great.

 

[bazzam]

And there we have it. That’ll do. Food that’s been cooked to death and offers none of its original flavours, textures and quite possibly nutritional value. Obviously is now brown. Bravo Jack you did it again.

That would go straight through sick note Hattie and most other people to be fair.

I am sure this type of thing was used as a poltice in the middle ages for getting rid of the clap.

 

[Cookiecookie]

I think Jack needs to look this one up!

 

[Fruitjack]

Did we see this comment from the embroidered shirt?

Well there goes my theory that they've been away attending cookery classes.

For duck's sake, are we rinsing beans or not rinsing beans?

If the beans are in a tasty sauce they must be rinsed. If they're bathing their own ephemera then tip the whole tin in.

To be fair Hattie came here to specify IBD which is different to IBS and much more disabling. With th list of illnesses she provided it was foolish to take on an “extra” project, she would struggle to work regularly with all that.
My friend has IBD and she manages to work in an office job in an actual office. Think she does shifts too.

I don't like comparing people with the same illness, they each affect someone differently.

Hattie also has a complex mental health history which will impact on her ability to work.

My mum always told me you should never cook beans in a slow cooker as it can be toxic.. is this just an old wives tale?

Dried kidney beans need to be brought to the boil and simmered for 10 minutes to kill toxins but canned beans are fine.

I don't think other dried beans would work in the slowcooker because they need a good boil even though they are not toxic.

• Act I: Haha, she's putting weird combinations in the slow cooker again
• Act II: Wait, that sounds like an unholy abomination-
• Act III: Ooh oh gosh it looks exactly like puke

Interlude: Jack blesses us all with insider secrets about maximising your slime produce

• Act IIII: When you think about it, The Human Centipede was quite cute really

Gonna garnish every meal with an old bay leaf today.

 

[Rekyavikgirl]

Mole poblano doesn't have black beans in it you bleeping philistine.

Nor is that anything like a cassoulet.

 

[Captainmouse]

She's surely not ~proud~ of this is she?!

Oh but she is

 

[Universal]

Her tips seriously sound like the Viz tips that take the piss out of the Take a Break tips! She writes like a parody account.

You mean she hasn’t already?

 

[jordishaw]

Artichokes? Please god, no.

 

[Captainmouse]

There were no (NO) artichokes in this picture, are poors allowed artichokes?

I actually kind of love that she herself called it slop.

Schloppity slop. I wonder if her next book is the sequel to the lorax.

I am the lorax and I speak for the fraus their tummies are icky because that stew looks real sicky.

Aren't her legs a mess? What was meant to be wrong with them.

 

[MaineCoonMama]

Aren't her legs a mess? What was meant to be wrong with them.

They're attached to her Mediterranean arse?
I think it was port wine birthmarks from memory.

 

[Silver Linings]

She’s messed up the PS on her left eye.
