Jack Monroe #360 She presents the poor as a passive mass and she’s their saviour

[Orphan_Black]

Hello!

Another day another thread. Well done on the @HotesTilaire for nominating @WaffleKent 's thread title.

For all newbies, please see our Wiki for FaQ's.

And with that, let the chaos continue!

(Please help with the recaps because I am EXHAUSTED!)

WELL. That last thread was a riiiiiideeee.

There was an Energy Jack Chaos where she gave some appallingly bad financial advice regarding payment of energy bills, so as well as ruining squigs health she’s adamant on doing the same to their finances.
AND we had some AMAZING tea from Jay-Cloth Crow (currently QueenKing Frau) whose work friend knows Old Harold! He exists! He works in the City! He scarpered because Jack is a chaotic little goblin and now she is harrassing him mercilessly. Quelle Surprise!

Busy making spag bol here, should I rinse the tinned tomatoes?

 

[MistyWindows]

Energy Jack was draining me emotionally, to go from that to delicious tea and then slop?! Pure bliss.
That macaroni thing looks like it’s covered in rat tit.

.. And it ended with the world's biggest Liverpool fan outing herself as a Sun reader!

(Also we chaosed ourselves and went to 58 pages thus threatening the wrath of the Tattle gods)

She's also proclaimed to rejig her old recipes into 15 minute, one pan meals. She hopes to post one a day on her (broken) blog.

She said in January she was going to do three recipes a week, and didn't manage that. So who knows with this one?!

 

[Mr Krabs]

Is it too late to add a poll so we can guess how many days she’ll keep up the daily recipes?

I reckon there will be no more but I guess I could try to be optimistic and guess one or two.

Rinse them and sieve them. Pick the seeds out and dry them in the sun for a tasty snack.

 

[FreezePeach]

Her definition of "one pot meal" is odd to me. I think of a one pot meal as something that you put together and let simmer or bake, not something you cook in stages and then bring together at the end.

 

[Onestorytoomany]

How did the squigs get on her good side.

' i love you all' she sounds like an aging starlet on her last charade.

 

[Wood Spite]

I bet JM wished she'd sorted the monetisation of her website out with all the extra traffic hoop-gate must have generated!

 

[jenny2603]

So far Jack's energy advice has cost this squig £48 a year. Well done Jack, your activism is really making the energy company shareholders happy. EVIL THICK bleep

One pot meals are easy. Especially with microwave rice (I realise that’s also not just one pot then) but they are fast.

Why do all her meals look so oily? There doesn't seem to be a lot of oil in the recipe but it is so weirdly greasy in the photo.

I think because they started it off in cold oil in a cold pan.

She loves a shlosh of oil over everything. All her food comes with a greasy scum on top.

Although I can't help but think rinsed tinned toms do rather look like angry bollocks.

 

[NellieBoo]

She's missed the mustard out of the recipe for the black pudding and bacon bake. It's in the ingredients list but not the method . Also, who the hell is she thinking this will feed? My teenage son will have a 100g portion of pasta (dried weight). The entire recipe has 225g. And she talks about leftovers . Not that he'd eat that anyway, but still.

Yeah might unveil my waffles 'n' beans one pan meal which I'll make by heating the unrinsed beans and grilling the waffles before softly, gently placing in one pan. I shall then devour it all like a greedy goblin.
