Alhough given Jack's history of lying about everything I am doubting the existence of the birthday watch.

I think the Hadjicostas family home is probably some kind of space-time vortex, where the kitchen is simultaneously a plank of wood over a bannister and a luxuriously-equipped haven where Papa makes his SmartPrice trifle.

Or is she referring to Allegra’s kitchen, here? It would be an egregious mangling of the timeline, as usual, but looks like an ivory rangemaster to me (and realistically, I just can’t see someone who rationed fruit salad and made his biological and foster children fight to the death for the lone cherry stretch to one).

Allegra’s kitchen scares the shite out of me. I’m hardly Marie Kondo but you could ditch a good 40% of that clutter and still not see any work surface.

I love how the cabal are all trained bloodhounds, there is very little they cannot track

Just finished my morning Grunk. Something smells fishy, and for once it ain't anchoiade.

Anyway...

I still remember just after the shopping trolley begging episode, when another squig asked if she'd managed to get one and she replied with something like "Someone sent one to my agent apparently." Not "A lovely follower kindly donated one, I haven't had chance to collect it yet but it's really going to help." I'm not even sure if she thanked the poor sod who sent it.

It's the way Jack's just shamelessly stolen Allegra's aesthetic (check out the utensils hanging from the window and the magnetic spice containers on the fridge, not to mention the hanging knives) and then later on pretended like it's all her own smol pixie puppy brained idea. Not an ounce of originality in her.

The bit I shared was from her first book a girl called Jack, and the original essay hunger hurts so yeaaars before Allegra. It’s her family home’s kitchen she’s referring to as being well stocked with a range hob, she also mentions getting organic veg boxes delivered to her executive flat prior to the poverty.

Allegra’s kitchen is truly something tho lol

I didn’t expect to be coming out of lockdown on track for a Master’s degree in Jack Monroe Studies but here we are!
I reckon a distinction is guaranteed and the ‘further work’ section in your diss sets you up nicely for a PhD.

Then I can be a double doctor just like Jack!!!! BRB writing a funding proposal as we speak.

Jumping in before I catch up. In my opinion, the best insight to Jacks personality is through her interactions on Twitter (i’m sure some will be logged on the wiki). One of the ouchy mouth threads will suffice, every single suggestion from well-meaning squiggles she's “tried it”. Here she demonstrates all her best traits, lies, passive aggressiveness, rudeness and just nasty. She is not a good person in my opinion, and full of bullshit.

Is that broken spaghetti pieces, or threadworms?
Probably bits of pretzel, finger on the pulse of 2017 as per. Off topic, Nigella's Instagram currently offers a masterclass in dealing with online idiocy.

It's the way you never see any of these attempts at dessert plated up, I assume because they're impossible to scrape off the tray.
Be very grateful for smol mercies
