Jack Monroe #382 Any thicker she’d set (unlike her white sauce)

[Walkdengirl]

The two things that make me boak are dirty cutlery, and dogs being allowed to eat off crockery etc. meant for humans, were they even at home when content was lapping out of that glass? I'm sure it would have enjoyed it's drink more our of a dog bowl, my doggy friends have pop up ones they take with them

Apologies if you do that with your pets, it's just not for me.

niche reference but that made me think of Gail the Snail “mashing it”

I really like radishes Why is she ruining radishes for me?

Spoiler: ME ME ME ME

I feel like she's been grunking and spotted my pickled pink slaw over on F&D, hmmmmmmmm. (I'm being super weird mentally right now, I dunno, convinced most of the canal hates me too but for the love of god, please don't make me the oracle again, that completely freaked me out, Jack. hashtag-be kind, pal)

She definitely had her son there to ensure the publishers wouldn’t say anything scary to her in front of him. And so they think she’s a busy single mum.

The pills were on display in bags on the otherwise tidy table just to remind them what a smol fragile pixie she is, too frail to finish her book on time.

I thought her sons presence had to be deliberate, there’s a limit to what you can say when there’s a child in the house. Up to every trick and stratagem.
She won’t stay offline, she’ll be carefully crafting a sock as we speak

 

[TheDragonWithAFlagon]

Not now, Bloch, not now...

 

[WTFDidIJustSee]

Imagine using your child as a human shield.

I cannot. My brain just won’t allow it. Not under any circumstances.

I just asked my teen “Would you use me as a human shield?” “Obviously I would, but I wouldn’t have to dive behind you because you’d be in front of me before I could blink, even if you were 500ft away”.

This has bleeping DONE me.

Top pic looks like something from Embarrassing Bodies

Made me think of this

“When Jack Monroe and Allegra McEvedy started “courting” (their word), Monroe would sit at the bar of McEvedy’s Blackfoot restaurant. “She would send me clams from the kitchen that looked like clitorises,” recalls Monroe. “It was like in the L Word [when] the chef Lara seduces Dana with food.”

I once touched Michael Fassbender’s chest — and I’m still a

Probably indulging her on some level. They seem to treat her like the company pet. She's probably got pictures of them having sex with farm animals or something.

I'd rather they release the pictures than eat at Jack's

 

[Toffee finger]

I wish I hadn’t seen those radishes. I keep thinking about them and it’s making me a bit queasy

Just reminded me it's time to book a smear test

 

[LittleMissMuffet]

Forgive me but I wanted to see the context of dog drinks water from glass so decided to go onto twitter and search for JM (I’ve never looked at her twitter or really use twitter) and thought the top search was hilarious.
But also who has their medication out like that when they have guests over? I’m almost positive that having a puppy is like having a toddler and my kid would’ve snatched those pills and glasses in a heartbeat. It’s all just so performative.

Those tablets look like Benedryl hayfever relief to meView attachment 1543349View attachment 1543346

Well, they're certainly not

Naproxen
Paracetamol
Aspirin
Ibuprofen
Dietary supplements
ADHD meds
Sertraline


or any other medications I have extensive knowledge of (due to real arthritis).

But the poundshop Damien Hirst installation she posted donkey's ago didn't have anything more dramatic than some OTC decongestants, either.

Soon as I saw that packet it looked familiar. I get through quite a lot over the summer for hayfever so there's always a pack lying about. It's bleeping benedryl!

 

[Walkdengirl]

For me that was a painful read (not in a good way). And ill-informed at that. Contrary to what this piece states, she’s claimed to be working class on numerous occasions across the years. There are swathes of this piece that could be seized upon by Jack as a “gotcha” to any criticism of her (and not solely the compare and contrast with bad Jamie Oliver). And there are parts that are just nonsensical.

I am not coming from a position where I want or expect everything about her to be critical and get a thrill out of anything critical published. I thought that newer piece by Katie Roache (I’m making that name up I think-the one in past couple of days on the PDF download) was poorly written, inaccurate on even some basic facts and added nothing for eg. But particularly in the case of a press article or as here, academic research, I do expect it to be based upon rigorous (ie more accurate) research rather than, as here, cherry-picking to fit a predetermined academic thesis/argument. Some of this is so contorted to fit that thesis as to be nonsensical.

Also, and I say this as a former ‘academic’ with an actual Doctorate, but duck me, academic writing can’t half be dry as duck while being as overblown as duck- a bit like the writing equivalent of a hoop skirt made of radiator orange peel on a rollercoaster on a particularly windy day.

PS I’m also irritated that it takes no issue with her Jeremy Kyle shite- almost lauds it as JM being clear she’s MC in fact

This was published a year ago, I think the good doctor will be writing her own paper on our jack, as someone that worked in research this isn't a speedy process as she will have to write it, then get it accepted by a journal and then however long it takes to go on the journal website or get printed.

I think she shared it maybe to show how the view of Jack has changed since last year.

Haha I know it’s too early but this has to be a thread title nomination from the journalist to the good lady Dr posting her Asda top up shop

Of course she must always have at least 4 OTC antihistamines on standby in case of anaphylaxis as per the paramedic's instructions! Not sure what's happened to the Asda own brand, the loratadine and the ceterizine. Perhaps the dog had already sampled them

Benadryl with wine is great for a Dino nap.
