Why would you buy a large Christmas cake if there's only two of you... Why do all these 'chefs' focus on using up leftovers and not overbuying

She said it was home baked, and it’s unlikely she baked it herself so probably #kindlygifted. The alcohol is a good point though. I’m sure Jack will address that shortly when she’s grunked.

Jack said it was homemade. Might have been from her mum as I seem to remember she got one last year (or the year before?)

Oh that makes sense! I thought they meant whatever they'd make with it wouldn't be allowed to be donated.. which also isn't 100% true.. I'm part of a registered charity that donate baked goods to foodbanks every week

Unpopular opinion maybe but I’m not sure even having a tenant like those posts say Jack is will make me feel sympathy for a landlord tbh. (And to be fair that’s if the poster’s claims are even true, we don’t know)

Treat housing like a source of profit, you get what you get

They're found in Turkish shops and are very inexpensive, along with some other edible botanicals like Hibiscus and Sorrel. OK, you don't get a pretty tin to display on the Cotswold afterwards, as they're in huge plastic packets, but at least you won't have to eke out the use because a single pinch costs about a pound,



I'd crumble the cake up and put it out for the birds with some suet over the course of the next fortnight (to avoid dumping it all at once and attracting rats or poisoning foxes). However, I do know that any cake I bake is safe for wildlife as well as humans.

Just eat it. Eat the fucking cake. No need for cake risotto or air fryer cake balls or whatever. Don’t make Christmas cake pops or cake jambalaya or cake curry. Slice it up, put it on a plate and EAT IT. EAT IT JACK JUST EAT THE CAAAAAAKE!!!!!

Anyone know what essential nutrients for Jack’s condition are in Primula cheese spread?

I feel like there is chaos to come. Diva did not have the desired effect to get her into the side bar of shame. Having a good profile is important when you want an income from jar rattling. I’m sure something is going to happen. There certainly is no TV bookings, any summer events, there’s not even been a bloody podcast in weeks.

Also I think pronouns don’t make you an income do they, no one’s really interested in that stuff.

I think in some cases pronouns can be a bit of an identifier of the vulnerable/easily parted from cashola for a cause, and in the same ballpark as putting your disability, MH, chronic disease or sobriety status in your bio.

@Fruitjack , I love you for raising this question whenever she mentions eating animal products, which we know she only eats because she has to for her health. I'm sure that primula is curing her arthritis as we speak.

Well, yeah, we know he WhatsApps all his dinners so you're nothing special.
