So she’s wheeled out an old recipe, possibly even the same photo, that she was paid to produce for her Xmas bollocks meal for the bastion of socialism that is the Daily Express, and been paid again for it, with a link that sends traffic to her monetised blog. Do I have this right?

I don't mind the photo, at least it's honest, but the first article is her vile Twitter pile on. Just horrible (and the font makes my teeth jangle).
i don’t even put vegetable peelings in my stock let alone make an entire meal out of them…everything she cooks is pure misery, i hope Harold is getting secret meals on wheels deliveries to his place 
Her cakes would be better, proper breeze block
I hadn’t twigged that her blog has been tarted up a bit. No recipes since 2018 until today, a link to a shop that is ‘coming soon’, 2 links to the same tip jar, a floating N from cooking, and about the third recipe in makes a comment saying she won’t use Sainsburys because they donate to the Conservative party. (I don’t think they do anymore but loads of people she sucks up to/has been paid by certainly do).
That’s all going well then.

You know what's more useful than putting potato peelings into a blender?
Putting them into some soil. If you peel with a knife [because of being unable to use a peeler - arthritis, don't you know - even though speed peelers are far easier to wrangle than a spud and a kitchen knife], they're thick enough to grow and if they don't, they provide extra nutrition for the bag/box/tub of soil. Same way if the potatoes are green (which you shouldn't eat - actual, real toxins), sprouting or squishy, cut them into roast potato sized chunks and plant them. It won't be overnight, but you could get several FREE meals out of something she's suggesting you puree. 10 kcals now (and I'm being exceedingly generous with that estimate) with a significant amount chucked into the bin because it is genuinely inediblelike most of her recipes or 2000 kcals in 70-120 days?
And if you want maximum nutrition/vitamin C but don't actually want to eat the skin of fresh/edible potatoes - run a sharp knife around the diameter and then boil/steam them in the skins - they slip off once cooked with zero wastage and, because the highest Vitamin C levels are directly under the skin, you ensure that anybody eating them gets the maximum benefit from the humble spud.
Gluten free, protein, carbohydrate, fibre, vitamin C, B6, potassium, magnesium, calcium - what's not to like about the things?

The photo from Lorraine the one that some people have as their avatar is worse. She looks so glaikit. Scottish fraus will understand. For context I’m horribly unphotogenic. I take a decent selfie but when other people take photos of me I look like a trog so I’m one to talk. But at least I don’t filter myself into oblivion either.
That's about 1.5 ozs. A serving of meat is supposed to be 80gs, though many people like more of course. Even 80gs of meat looks quite small.
No.1 Monetising your ‘accidental platform’ can be more lucrative than you think.
I also chuckled at this in her pile
She was eating sesame prawn toast made from French stick not so long ago. And if you've ever toasted a French stick you'll know just how crunchy that gets. Pretty sure she deemed that 'genius'. Unless, of course, she whizzed it up in the blender after she'd taken the photo so that her and SB could spoon it down? Eat. Sleep. Lie. Repeat.
Nutless nut roast
I can't cope!
Frankly, I'm surprised she didn't add her own books into that pile
As usual you're talking bloody good sense. TheDragonWithAFlagon. I love potatoes. How can anyone not enjoy them when there are SO many ways to prepare and cook them? They're so good for you. Thousands of varieties. Easy to grow. Cheap and nutritious. Even if she made one of her slops it might be ok texture wise* served on a bed of potato wedges which are so easy to make even I can do them.
*not taste-wise though
Indeed. From memory, he also talks about how people truly living in poverty can see right through useless, righteous do-gooders. I’d love to know what he thinks of Jack.
Jack probably thinks Shuggie Bain was non-fiction.
I’m going to confess that I’m not a huge fan of potatoes. But it’s not that I don’t like them really. I’m just too lazy to cook them 
Which is why Im as baffled as anyone else as to why I bought 5kgs of YS tatties a couple of weeks ago for 28p. I like them in soup and baked to be fair. Actually fried too.... just lazy

But she doesn’t peel potatoes, she doesn’t like them, only tinned or instant mash for her. No peelings here guv'nr
What is this doing her in her pile? Is she 90% vegan again?
@Discombobby you wouldn’t want her gravy, it’s basically just old melted fat. It’s also green.
She is glaikit
