Changing the subject from the hideous cookies as they are too depressing but look at what I found in a charity shop today...a book featuring The Three Investigators. Apparently called Jupiter, Bob and Pete. But you and I know it's Jenny, Borb and Piotr

Imagining Jack serving “some of the best bakes” to Cherish and Benoit on Bake Off the professionals.View attachment 1434409View attachment 1434411

Everyone makes baking mistakes, but would a professional post their mistakes online?
Sweet Jesus, I wouldn’t show those to the family, who eat anything.
She’s done it for a reaction hasn’t she, can you imagine Mom or that man posting those.
Still catching up, slowly. Glad the heat has gone, we’ve been picking strawberries in the poly tunnels today, quite pleasant.

All day I’ve had “Nightmeat, this is what you came for; Nightmeat, strikes every time she moves” to the tune of the Calvin Harris/Rihanna song in my head.

I purposely don’t read many of the song lyric posts because I’m more often than not tortured by circular segments of songs but I’d like to say bravo to the Frau or Herr who came up with that one.

Or if it was me: fuck you, brain. And Jack.

Yup yup yup. Plus you can’t ever give any constructive or negative feedback because “they care so much” or because they are helping people it gives them a free pass for being completely batshit and/or ineffective and/or incredibly entitled

Oh Elastoblast! Worry not dear heart. The fact that you are reflective enough to worry about that means that you are officially not going to be out of touch. Pip pip

"That's the thing I love about baking, Jack. You can always eat your mistakes! No, none for me I'm low carbing just now"

Nope, genuinely cannot think of a more horrifying dish she's made than lumps of dough that she's squished her vile thumbnail into https://giphy.com/DekxoPi2fT9g4
At the peak of Covid when nurseries were just about open, my youngest made cookies at nursery. The school posted photos on their app showing a dozen kids all with their fingers in the same dough, a gaggle of superspreaders all mixing a Petri dish of germs in biscuit form. And yet, I’d still eat those germy, undercooked in the middle yet burnt around the edges cookies any day over hers.
