I love Ina Garten.

Almost as much as I am traumatised by the lack of granola.

Glad you’ve had this realisation, shame you were advising people in early recovery that kombucha and cooking with booze was fine whilst claiming years of sobriety.

As per, the damage done doesn’t get spoken about and we’re the bullying ninnies for calling it out at the time.

Try topping with an egg.

"Should serve four, frequently does not in my household"

Nor mine, perhaps for different (egg topping pic aesthetic) reasons

Why would you do that to polenta? Fucks sake, her recipes never fail to disappoint.

I can’t wait for fish jack to be over. I can feel it all repeating on me and I haven’t eaten a sardine in years.

The squiggles are all mad.

I hate ‘reader’.

Oh, for the love of god, eat some fresh steamed vegetables and leave us alone

I think I have found the niche mackies trying to get into, here’s one of their recipes

Pastry in animal shapes, made of rice flour and eggs, filled with jam and served in a hot pink broth spiked with a few drops of Italian eau de Cologne.

All these people giving her recipe ideas to plagiarise.

Huge LOL if Jack took a dinosaur nap and missed Rishmate's budget

So duty on booze is down. But taxes are up. Forgive my Latin, but
Usque ad mortem bibendum
Springs to mind.

Apparently the lower waged are meant to be profiting from tax changes

Too BUSY taking a photo of her latest plate of sardines on toast (plus checking out which tweets she can plagiarise).

 

[Cariad]

Same! My Mum used to give it to me in sandwiches Spewing thinking about it now

My mum used to get a whole ( uncooked) ox tongue from butchers and cook it a home.....used to have it as part of the Christmas buffet she did grow up during the war though, so that's my excuse

It’s so fast paced it’s hard to keep up isn’t it, can’t imagine Jack will be able to divide two numbers in between bullet points.

Honest Q is the change to the UC taper any good? I have no first hand experience with UC but it feels like it could help single mums who want to return to work make it more financially tenable?

Maybe she’s got stuck at her child size desk? Maybe the constant fish have taken their toll and she’s stuck in the loo.

 

[Cariad]

Why is she making what i assume is gravy with chunky veg?
I thought chunky veg was for casseroles and or tray bake

She should have roasted the veg with the spices , when she was cooking the chicken, ( would have given them much more flavour and more authentic Middle Eastern dish ) then no need to use the fancy induction hob

Yes and no, if childcare was in any way affordable, in theory it could help.

Dirty knife.

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

She's actually tweeting tinned fish during the budget speech, yeah?

And tbh childcare is also a nightmare to arrange & sustain with illnesses, it’s one thing having the comfort and security of a salaried job and needing to take days off for norovirus it’s another when you’ve messed up a rota so the manager likely won’t be as generous again. But feels like something Jack should do a deep dive on once she’s found the source material tweet from Owen Jones’ likes

I mean yes it’s good, it will mean an extra 8p per hour worked on the hours which are tapered. I don’t think it’s brilliant. The extra £20 per week = 250 8p’s
