Tbf, not everyone has that option. I asked my mum for £30 for a food shop the other month as my UC was underpaid & I couldn't afford food. She said no. She has over £100K in her bank.

I read those FB posts recently. It was interesting that JM framed it as her parents wanted the birthmarks removed and had her undergo painful treatments that were ultimately unsuccessful. The treatments also prevented her from learning to swim, a bugbear of hers to this day. Then Ma Monroe commented that the opposite was true, that JM insisted on having the birthmarks removed. Very strange family dynamics.
My Italian Mother did too. She passed away last year and this has very much made me smile. This pack is from her kitchen.
Jack: cooks slop: PHOTOS!
cooks non slop: secret secret squirrel.

Grunking, so apologies if anyone has already pointed out how Hatie Kopkins mixing up Laurie Penny and Jack is the only forgiveable thing she's ever written, they really are Tweedledum and Tweedledumber.Hopefully not too OT but reading Laurie Penny’s Autism AMA and seemingly she too had a ‘family member’ hide her childhood diagnosis from her and has to ‘smudge stories’ for privacy reasonswhat?
and now desperately want to 
It’s these sorts of lies I find the most baffling. We suspect a lot of what she says about her past are either lies or gross exaggerations, but we can’t definitely prove it. However, many of us and many of her Twitter followers will have cooked for a larger group, and we know what it’s like and while it can be stressful it doesn’t involve sweating and trashing your kitchen.
Exactly this! Plus, the two dishes on that menu that look as though they've come from her own fertile imagination (items one and three) just demonstrate that she doesn't really understand the fundamentals.
Why would you put hazelnuts with chickpeas, when they both have quite a dry, mealy texture? Ditto celery and fennel - unless the celery is part of a mirepoix, which doesn't seem to be the case here, the flavours are probably going to compete rather than complement.
Remember how much we had to bang on about LJC’s strata being open and clearly showing her travel to and from The crappy Bungalow? Like, yes I’m sorry it’s unfair to say make it private, but we’re just sad hausfraus and we found it in seconds, what if there was a weird obsessive fixated on finding JM, or her missus?
Trying to post quickly to be a smol part of thread 300 glory, as incoming cooking chaos threatens the lovely canal only vibe with more fanciful Monroe bullshit.
I'm a very shy Frau who has had nothing to add but I've LOVED your hilarious and insightful commentary from the first lockdown. I've learnt so much from you all, not least to be much more careful of my fingernail hygiene. From that you can tell that I am not Jack.
I arrived here after seeing her post that she'd been on x factor. I remember thinking that was the final straw, she was talking endless shite and googled it, finding Tattle (and unfortunately that singing video). But it turns she did audition. Or did she, who the duck cares.
I had been sucked in enough to buy one of her books and I made my family the infamous Sausagna, not once or twice but thrice! Obviously amending the recipe each time as it was so awful. My family still mock the Sausagna. I also confess to making the peach, chickpea abomination but that was a one time deal. I'm not a complete fool.
Thank you all for being a little corner of the internet that sees through the obvious nonsense. I sometimes find it quite depressing that so many seem to lap up every stupid thing she says, with no apparent critical thinking, and that she gets so much praise. Thank beans for all you do here. Hopefully it will not be another 300 threads before the truth bites her on her Mediterranean arse.

I have a feeling when it gets to thread 344 we may see a break in the space time continuum
All I have to say is
Hope you all did lat flows before meeting up in a big group to eat slop
poor cunts eating that slop. Phone a takeaway I beg you

Thread title nomination care of MN's DKL thread. I think it works on a number of levels

Would like to point out, as a genuine Irish frau, that we can and do routinely feed 80 people with about as much hoo ha as making beans on toast for one
OMG, this picture has unlocked a very old memory of that soup that I didn't even know I had! I think the version I was given was like a minestrone, with a tomato base and different vegetables. There are no Italians in my family so god knows where I had it but I loved those tiny stars!My Italian Mother did too. She passed away last year and this has very much made me smile. This pack is from her kitchen.

The more I look at that menu, the more i feel like I want KFC
Never bleeping happened. Roast chicken dinner and a cup of tea
I hate it when she tries to be cute or quirky!
I used to have this a lot as well when I was younger! My mum’s friend who is Italian used to make it for me when she looked after me. She called it pastina and I used to absolutely love it.
She's never really worked in a restaurant despite her claims. Ten covers is NOTHING. A pub cook would do that on their own in twenty minutes without batting an eye. She's a dilettante.
