If the pan you are using is small maybe ?Hood to dee that Jack could now afford to plug in her fridge.
But breaking up spaghetti. WTAF! Just why would anyone do that?
Agree with this 100%.I think Jack's origin story has a grain of truth, which is that she struggled after having her son. I personally believe the struggle was predominantly of the mental rather than the poverty-stricken variety.
But that, I believe, is where Jack and The Truth part company. My own speculative belief is that she fell out badly with her family due to quitting the fire service, and had some kind of tantrum where she insisted she would do it all herself and didn't need their help. That is where we get all the stuff about sleeping on the floor, sex work, unscrewing lightbulbs and SB only have one piece of bread and jam like Oliver Twist. Help was always available for her but she chose not to take it because she was aggressively playing the victim. Her going public and posing as a destitute single mum in the papers was all part of this aggressive, play-the-victim-to-make-my-family-feel-super-guilty plan - in my view. I base my speculation and opinions on my own experiences of what narcs are like. Of course once the story was out in the papers, it must have been terrible for her family as the implication amongst their friends and neighbours would have been that they disowned Jack and left her in poverty - which I absolutely do not believe to have been the case. Ditto goes for SB's dad.
I then think that Jack got the recipes gig off the back of that and wasn't expecting it as she never wanted to be a food writer but a political writer. I also suspect that she didn't realise the extent to which she would become a poster child for poverty. But the gig got going and she got offers, media jobs and relationships out of it, so she's just kept the facade going. In my speculative opinion. I don't think, personally, that she expected for it to go as far as it has and I think she'd just as happily leave it behind and embrace her genuine tory-lite middle class spendy hyper-consumer mean girl self, but she can't now. And so, here she is. And here are we.
I’ve been known to fling spinach in a pan of spaghetti for a couple of minutes before the spaghetti is cooked but I’m not trying to make a living out of being a cook. How she can call that a recipe is beyond me. Mushroom spaghetti spinach and onion?
But the pan size is irrelevant- you just feed the pasta in as it softens. It takes no more time.If the pan you are using is small maybe ?
The worst part was this was released around the time of Sarah Everard and she tried to make it all about herJack Monroe is a lying liar who lies.
I have never seen her use a trigger warning - she weaponises her made-up experiences and throws her labels at everyone at every opportunity. She’s an absolute monster.

Why not bleeping delete it and start again if you’ve noticed “half way through”? Or realise maybe you shouldn’t be writing it at all? UGH.
It sounds ludicrous because again, his politics aren't my cup of tea but whenever I've seen him on TV and even in fairly heated debate he is usually unfailingly polite and courteous. But I suppose that wouldn't fit into Jacks evil torwees narrative.You're right - he didn't. She repeated this again quite recently didn't she? The programme where she alleged it happened has the transcript online and he said nothing of the sort. His general point was ideally people should not have children if they cannot afford to raise them. Jack took this as a personal attack, and later bizarrely claimed he said she should've kept her legs together. She didn't say he intimated that, but said he used those exact words
God, she's so tiresome. If security were called it wouldn't be announced where they are required. It's all in codes like Sector 7G or aisle 5.
Schrödinger's trollShe cares about trolls. She doesn’t care about trolls.
That's the least wrong thing she does with it. The cooking method is bizarre!What kind of monster breaks spaghetti?
It really is amazing how similar these types are (reminded me of Scottish Jack too). Even the way they write / tweet - it's like they've all read the same handbook.Can’t remember if this story has been mentioned previously but this woman seriously reminds me of Jack. The stolen stories, lies, inserting themselves into tragedies… Fascinating. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/05/greys-anatomy-elisabeth-finch-truth-lies
Eeuww yes I'd forgotten that particularly ghoulish aspect.The worst part was this was released around the time of Sarah Everard and she tried to make it all about her
There's so much self-indulgent, solipsistic bullshit dripping from this short extract that I'd be here all day if I attempted to parse it all. But just to pick out a few belters:
5 feet 2.3 inches
This was around the same time that she was regularly posting photos of her extensive make-up collection (lots of Chanel) in a Facebook group
What kind of person adds pasta to cold water?What kind of monster breaks spaghetti?
What kind of a person has a nice pot of pasta boiling away and .... turns it down to a simmer
We all said she was trying out some pics and gonna be grifting on OF around the time of the infamous sideboard pics.It's a basic b&w shot with just hands covering breasts but like I say, quite identifiable. Also, it's on a professional, open website which is Jack adjacent IRL.
