Jack Monroe #206 I wouldn’t trust her with a spam fritter

[Into_the_tunnel]

The texture of weetabix as intended is already too sloppy for my personal taste, so the thought of Jack going out of her way to make them sloppier has ruined my morning.
When I was a child I somehow developed a habit of buttering weetabix and eating them as you would slices of toast. I always acknowledged this as a bit weird though, rather than marketing myself as a quirky culinary genius (Jack if you're reading this then you absolutely do not have my permission to replicate this "recipe", thanks)

I saw someone do this on the internet the other day.

I think I would prefer weetabix with butter (I simply cannot afford it so would probably use lard) than have it with hot water.

I'm going about my business shopping in Sainsbury's and reading Judy Powell's obituary when Jack references pop up

Hand grinding weetabix to a fine dust. Just another ballache, time-consuming activity that Jack set herself.

What on earth does she have against texture? Why does it have to be “warm and sloppy”?? Is she absolutely sure that her son likes it, because it’s basically baby food she’s making here.

Have we ever discussed this? SB loves Weetabix in the morning so of course his mum has to .... grind down the Weetabix into an 'unappetising dust' to save "vital school run minutes".

the more i look at this the more i actually feel really sad! I really hope the speculation that SB primarily lives with his dad is true. Eating weetabix dust for breakfast doesn't make you bonkers jack, it makes you the most depressingly dull person on the entire planet

I like the off brand ones best because they don't go as mushy.

I’m aware of the Jaffa cake controversy (are they a biscuit? are they a cake?), but surely *madeleines* are not a biscuit?

I really fancy some solid weetabix now

Can’t get him out the door fast enough, mustn’t miss vital Dino naps

And yet Louisa got the huge bowls of intricately crafted yoghurty crap complete with sparkly spray and edible pet dogs.

Please for the love of LJC not by hand, not with those nails.

DKL...day 3
Matt is being adorable with 2 kids who have been cooking in lockdown. In 2 minutes of airtime they have shown more warmth and natural talent than Jack has shown in over 10 years on telly.
Matt is giving proper banter and the kids are batting it back. Really cute telly. I could do with more cuteness like this!
One of the kids, Lola, says she really likes honey and has used it in recipes during lockdown. Matt asks favourite recipe and she stutters 'on pancakes' and he agrees it is a lovely way to have pancakes. She is 8.
Then he goes to Jack.
She's been watching it with her shark grin (you can see it on Matt's monitor when the camera goes behind him)
First thing out of her mouth....'well I'm Greek so I know what to do with honey' and then 'I know how to use it properly '.ffs.

Got to flex on those eight year old girls somehow!

They appear to have got the top and bottom rows mixed up.

Also the image of SB wanting Weetabix and Jack going straight for the pestle and mortar is killing me

Why are weetabix and madeleines on here? Why are custard creams at the bottom? I need a lie down

Spoiler: Drug paraphernalia

After Weetabix dust the thought occurred to me… did the J1g also get decanted into a smol grubby jar with a dyno-tape label? I’m sure she’ll have an appropriately teeny tiny pixie spoon.

This is the one of the series that freaks me out the most. That one, blank, scarily unfocused eye peering giddily at the camera. (Urgh - shudder).

Jack misses the mark in her posed photos all the time and I find it hilarious and sad (for the time wasted). Doesn't matter the brief, guaranteed to void it of all it's intended idea.
I used to work with a lass like this. She amateur models on instagram all #model #bondage #peach #sexy in complicated-as-duck lingerie and stuff. Somehow voided of sexiness I think because it is clear she is trying too hard...doesn't feel natural or real.

Are Madeleines biscuits? Do they go soft or hard when stale?
Party rings should be way up there and chocolate digestives over chocolate fingers for anyone over 10.
Ginger nut has been done wrong also

I have more opinions on this than I thought I would

Complicated lingerie!
Ha, once walked passed agent provocateur with my mum and the window was a bra that looked like two spiral pipe cleaners so I commented that didn’t look too comfortable. Mum said it was probably for bedroom activities! I said i don’t normally say - hang on a second I have to get into my special bra first.
Saw my mum in a different light then.

Weetabix workers to strike - and union says it will result in cereal shortages

A 48-hour walk-out by engineers will take place later this month followed by further strikes throughout the autumn in a dispute over what Unite describes as plans to "fire and rehire" workers on inferior contracts.

Weetabix doesnt treat its workers well and a strike and shortages on the way.

Garibaldis are the devil’s biscuits, blech. But leave fig rolls alone, I will fite u!
