Jack, her nails uncleansed

I think it’s SB’s dad but I’m not sure if he knows he’s being referred to as OH or if there is actually any relationship other than the obvious SB link there…

Would his dad buy him lego flowers?

I quite like porridge, but, it leaves me super hungry after a couple of hours. Never got the slow release spiel.

Same.

I've started making it for baby cucumber using full fat milk and that keeps me fuller for longer (I'm BUSY I don't have time to make separate breakfasts for everyone!)

 

[Wooh]

but since starting school almost 40 years ago, people have got my name wrong. Colleagues who I've worked with for years still mispronounce my name... As a result I felt at times like my identity was diminished and I'm very sensitive about people naming others. I've pulled people for mispronouncing my name, my siblings names and even colleagues names, so I'm very much with the majority here.

Lazarus, sorry I missed your last sentences. I support you! I have a perfectly ordinary and lovely name with no odd spelling, usually mispronounced such that they may as well call me Dennis, as the substitute is so different. CHILDREN can hear and understand it perfectly first time, but adults don't even bother to try, let alone if they only see it written. I hate that so much, it's not ME. I feel for you. I have a lovely trio of kids who correct people really plainly, which is a delight xx

ETA I don't have three children praise be LOL

What, dare I ask, is the PB that she puts in the microwave?

 

[Cucumberthunder]

Isnt this exactly what Jack Monroe’s job is meant to be? Providing advice to people in poverty to assist them? Instead she’s leaving it to Martin Lewis and riding on his coattails.

She's hoping people (Martin) will reply in the same manner to her to boost this idea that she actually does something!

 

[Soapy Dolphin]

Hilarious Caps Jack.

FUCK OFF!

 

[Wooh]

If you looked at her Twitter now, what would you think her MO was?

In 24 hours she has gone from Greek cooking to banging on about offal, to talking about heraddiction to Lego, to foul porridge to Trainspotting.

If she wants to be taken seriously this isn’t the way to do it.

I would think she has a lot of nerve

Same.

I've started making it for baby cucumber using full fat milk and that keeps me fuller for longer (I'm BUSY I don't have time to make separate breakfasts for everyone!)

For me:
1/3 cup oats
1/3 cup almond milk
1 tsp chia seeds
1 tsp cinnamon
Soaked overnight
Served cold or warmed with some berries...

I'm fuelled for about four hours on that; it's a wonder how we process things differently, and I also note I can gobble a very large pizza on my own so there's just no certainty in the world!

ancient footage of mom blending figs with nigel slater (with a goatee)on food network rn

as mr kcc points out, two niges together!

Making 'beaver pink' ice cream, as I remember (awkward conversation when watching it with a child who protested 'beavers aren't pink' followed)

 

[Captainmouse]

Mmmm, is it a crazy idea I've just had to make whiteboard style actual wallpaper (month planner panels sold separately)? I feel like it could be a $£€$£€ winner. We could call it "TattlerNiser". I think SB would love it

Here is the desk chaos with the infamous wallpaper

Jack Monroe #106 She’s ‘aving a carafe

“Be-my-friend” chocolate bars going down well. Some positive twitter off the back. Imagine how much there will be when PATREONs start getting the postcards they’ve been expecting for 2-3 months 😳

Blimey, she's taken Willie Nelson's advice about counting one's blessings, on board

I'm still reeling that she claimed to know how heavy it is to carry around a severed leg

Is there anything that Jacksie doesn't know?

I thought her “cooking “ couldn’t get any worse .

 

[Wooh]

Mmm, peanut butter, bacon and treacle porridge. Delish!

I loved this because of the Monkees. Blessed be your porridge

Same !!!

 

[Smeghead]

With her long standing love of French cuisine it'll really be the perfect holiday.

I’m back home!

He is just like you’d imagine. Totally aware of how ridiculous the ‘business’ is. He sent me some Jo Malone perfume when I was poorly with anxiety in the first lockdown, and he sent my Son loads of rare Pulp vinyl when I told him my son loved pulp

I'm so happy to hear he's a good 'un

 

[Shawads]

Isn’t that just a spam email? Everyone gets random stuff like this. Why does she have to make such a performance out of everything?

This is #4 though. Straw that broke the donkey's proverbial.
Have a lovely day
