Grates my blinking parsnips that this watery icing is in the book when a bit of (thicker) icing or a syrup is so easy to make. A couple of lemons and some caster sugar heated up and brushed over with a pastry brush is gorgeous on a cake. But no, the horse is back out of retirement.What the fuck is this? A haunted loaf?
Excellent, more proof for my theory that slow cookers are a con because everything comes out brown and tasting the same. I am a reasonable cook but slow cookers defeat me. Much prefer my electric pressure cooker.Dear heart mouse, do you not remember the greengage jam? That she cooked for hours on end until she was left with a small jar of brown sadness? To be served with cheap wet ham, just like grandad used to have.View attachment 1598860
we should all have a honest doing this lolJust looking at all the "I voted for you for that award, you're so wonderful" posts on Twitter, and wondering whether JM timed the announcement of the nomination to maximize the lurve she got from her "meanies on the Internet" meltdown. Or is that too organized for her?
BTW I voted in the Pink News poll. I gave my name as Jack Monroe and voted for Alek Vaid-Menon. Come and get me, CSI Essex Celebrity Squad
*Summons the ghost of Scary Auntie Mary, who was an absolute stickler for Manners™*It’s a peach, apparently 🫠
She must be on her way to Hastings to promote the Grifty KitchenI can't wait to see what cost of living campaigner of the year Jack Monroe has to say about today's 'mini budget'.
Or rather, whose hot take will she appropriate to send an angry tweet about later when she wakes up.
Campaigning to fill her tip jar, boost her patreonWhat campaigning work has she done this year?
Where’s the campaigning?
- Fibbed about getting the ONS to change prices
- Fibbed about the ASDA smartprice range
- Got dumped by Superdrug
- Went on holiday a few times
- Got a dog
- Forgot to take her son on holiday
- Told a load of fibs at a talk in Edinburgh (and possibly in Bristol)
- Cosied up to random unnamed people at a google event
It's what some GCs call it for its lack of lesbian representation and dick pandering (me-rail, I'm moderately GC but think there's bullies and extremists on both sides)Its that a real thing? I mean why does the penis have news?
'Today was hard'
"Feeling floppy after a long hard day"
'Hairy moment when the ball got stuck'
She tried to trademark the word. Twice, IIRC.When I first saw "depressipes" I assumed you lot had made up the word to express how gut-wrenchingly disappointing the food efforts were. For that, it's a brilliant word.
I see that Nigel is with the same Agency as JM. I know it’s common/expected to big-up other clients of your Agency. Even if they can’t cook and are a professional embarrassment.Phew! I think I can save Nigel from going on my sh1t list as he cleverly avoids saying anything about her actual cookery skills or how tasty her food is AND it's a recycled quote from 2.5 years ago.
BIB: #threadtitlenominationThe price is high for a slop and old hair manual.
I wonder if her publishers are going to link up with TT or the like in a teemill style "5p from every sale will pay for a pov to have emergency slop rations for 19 days".
I made this many moons ago, when our budget was very tight! Never again. Had a overwhelming fishy taste, not pleasant at all. And I'm someone that loves anchovies, so for me to be put off by a strong taste like that is saying somethingRight, confession time : I tried making one of her recipes, I think it was the salmon paste pasta, even went looking for the paste thing. Surprise surprise, it was tasteless and a waste of ingredients. What possessed me I don't know, since I can actually cook. Most of her food looks like something you'd fling together in a pan coming home after a heavy night in the pub.
Tip 1: keep a dumbbell by the loo and do 20 reps every time your bowels have to evacuate some of the slop in this book you've lovingly recreated. Just don't trip over it and bash your face on the sink/tap/bath/medicine cabinet/studio equipment.I'd like to think that they are aiming at the "bills coming in after Christmas so it's budget time" audience, but your explanation is probably closer to the truth.
One really big-selling category in January and February, building off New Year's resolutions, is get-fit books. Maybe this book is in January because part of the "home hacks" is her tips for getting in shape
Tip 1 - completed it mate.Tip 1: keep a dumbbell by the loo and do 20 reps every time your bowels have to evacuate some of the slop in this book you've lovingly recreated. Just don't trip over it and bash your face on the sink/tap/bath/medicine cabinet/studio equipment.
Tip 2: check yourself into an expensive celebrity dayhab with mandatory therapy sessions. It'll do fuck all and you'll somehow come out a worse person than when you went in, but you'll get a weighted hula hoop out of it so you can stay trim between Twitter meltdowns.
Nancy is a regular on the bbc thing after breakfast,Thanks for the tip on Nancy Birtwhistle, she's amazing! Her "cheats almond tarts" video has Common People as the soundtrack, I wonder if she's a Frau?
