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

A couple of things from my morning grunk. I found a pair of brand new Guess? boots in a charity shop for $8 about 20 years ago. They had a broken zip, cost me a few dollars to fix. I still have those boots, they've been to many a gig and festival and I've loved them like I paid the original $695 AUD for them.

Second, I really don't want to hate on next door's mini Schnauzers but by duck, now it's been pointed out they are the spit of Jack with her manky fringe! Poor sweeties.

Love your new profile pic

As for calling it 'structurally unsound' what does that even mean? You apply that phrase to buildings and structures. STOP GETTING WORDS WRONG.

Adjectives are like herbs, you can just use them interchangeably.

A rival to the smol pixie for culinary prowess here.

I agree! I was a Mulberry aficionado for a few years and that bag doesn’t look like any style I know.

Could be a men’s bag I suppose.

I think it looks like the logo plate has been removed?

Did this get served to world leaders so that’s why everyone thinks our food is shocking? Everything was shocking in the 70s from what I’ve heard, but still.

I don’t buy LM except for the shredded duck. I am a flawed woman.

Me too! Used to buy the sausies cos they are good value but one day the kids refused to eat them and now we get Richmond meat-free.

This was normal in the 70s / 80s. My mum had cookbooks full of savoury jellies and used to make a sort of milk jelly with lychees in. And she subscribed to a magazine called Microwave Know-how which had meecrowahve recipes for everything.

Jack would have fit in then I think.

Now will Jack attempt a savoury jelly?! Can it be worse than the last offering which was truly vile looking. Will we manifest this?

I half collect vintage recipe books, partly for how awful they can be. Do you think Jack maybe also collects them, but actually takes them seriously?

Hi, Nick. (Joking aside, the reasons behind this are lovely.)

The look of glove: Nick Cave’s moving first photobook – in pictures

When the Bad Seeds singer found a solitary child’s glove hanging over a road sign he felt a ‘jolt of grief’ which led him on a photographic journey. He talks us through it

It’s very much a matter of taste, really. Some people rinse ‘em, some don’t. I’ve always found that non rinsed beans give a slightly bitter flavour.

Levi Roots is a legend, we’re huge Reggae Reggae sauce fans chez Bellend Towers!

Also (bit behind on this one) who on Earth subs juniper berries for rosemary?! I’m out of chillies. Hang on, a cucumber will do

He’s great but I did get irritated when he used the term “cultural appropriation “ about a recipe of Jamie Oliver . I was like “get over yerself” with that as I consider all recipes as a basis to be played about with.

The food, cattos, hot political commentary or the silence wasn’t helping our smol pixie with her follower count, but the thirsty thot shot brought them in. That’ll do. Time for only fans for you Jacko, it’s clearly what your public want.

 

[Vanelope]

OnlyFans (for consenting adults of legal age) is more honest than what Jack does

Have been trying to triangulate the Mulberry, seems to be a men’s briefcase style, something like this... original rrp £795

If she does, she will duck around with the recipes, ensuring readers ' it will set later' only for it to remain a puddle of piss with bits in it (just speculation m'lud)

Ah masculine aesthetic of course.
Ok I take it back - but how she has got a dip dye effect going on I don’t know. (I do it got left in a puddle)

It was. Wish I'd still got my mum's Fanny Craddock book. Banana candles (rolled in jam with dessicated coconut glace' cherry for the flame. Not to mention oeuf ala Riga involves dyeing boiled egg yolk blue.

I was looking too, but can't see anything really alike. I'm not sure that genuine Mulberrys would use this kind of material joining the bag itself to the handle? I don't know what it's called, but it's also on the shorter handle. If you see what I mean - I'm not being very articulate this morning.

The dip dye effect is where she smashed half a bottle of whisky in it, she said it stained the leather .
