Jack Monroe #77 Further into the depths of culinary depravity

I am the coldest person ever ever ever and wear huge jumpers when everyone else is too warm. I put the heating in the office on 32 degrees when I got in this morning and despite complaints it’s like LA right now, I’m just about warm! I’m wearing a hoody and jeans, and a coat. No hat, no mittens...

Expensive Nike trainers (about 3 pairs including the bright orange ones she said she had to get to match the running club’s colours which was a load of bollocks).

 

[Valiofthedolls]

I remember a phase she had of photographing a huge office space with 1000s of books. Then there was all the furniture and set dressing for the shed outside that she was going to turn into a studio? That was a few years ago, but it all looked very expensive.

Inside Jack Monroe's cozy home where she transformed old shed to gleaming studio

Journalist and food writer Jack managed to turn a run-down garden feature into a chic and stylish area that gives her space to try out different recipes

So I promise I’ll shut up about her furniture in the new thread, but is this another dresser?
View attachment 1612415Cos it certainly looks very very VERY much like

I don't see any storage space for those files full of coroners' reports

Unfortunately, I grew up with someone with hoarding tendencies (and lots of other unpleasant traits beside).
For them, it's not about being in possession of the objects, whatever they are. It's about other people NOT being in possession of them. I can tell because of the sloppy and disrespectful way they treat their things. My relative has destroyed several beautiful, irreplaceable things because as soon as they had them, the value was lost. They were thrown in the bottom of handbags, or kept in leaky outhouses, or shoved off a table to make room for more random tit.
Its all about the one-upmanship, the spite and the envy.
They are, it goes without saying, very very similar to a certain smol pixie.
Happily, we no longer speak and my life is the better for it.

Babe, same x

What happened with the birth mark?!

Jack Monroe #400 The utter narcissism of this obscure cook

They don’t even print it, it really actually is DIVA.pdf 😳😭 I wonder if jack knew that when they contacted them... Skipping about the crappy bungalow all a Twitter about a magazine photo shoot... wanting to see it in the local Smith's.. probably someone working there she wanted to watch at...

That sorry tale is here.

 

[LadyGarden]

Ooof, so invested in this thread I nearly forgot to practice on Duolingo losing my 'streak' (not topless Jack related). I'm only in the Sapphire league, not yeat reached the Diamond (rings, quantity 3) yet.

Wonder how you say 'grifter' in Welsh? Perhaps that's in the later lessons.

FYI roast potato is 'tatws rhost'

See you soon, Ninnies x

 

[BoiledSoap]

Not to myself but some of my relatives are quite wealthy and they absolutely do NOT spend that much on furniture. Or other things. That's not how you stay rich. That's how you burn through ALL of your money and end up living hand to mouth despite having a large income. She's an idiot.

The ooni pizza oven, the “tiles” (3) for locating lost keys/ phones by internet magic, the smart mirror.

 

[Hollaaa]

2 of these

Dozen of these at least.

It all adds up!

 

[SpudYouHate]

Please don't do this to me.....

THERE IS NO SOLAR LAMP( bulbs grow in the ground, as an apprentice saying bulb was punishable) THAT WOULD FIT IN AN ELETRIC LAMP HOLDER,
ITS MADNESS

What next, hot gas radiators?

ambulanceo's pls

I didn't mean putting solar lamps in the lightshades, tho! Just leaving bulbs out. Better to leave a dead bulb than an empty high voltage socket.

 

[Knit one Pearl one]

If you’re bored of counting her stuff, I was watching the cringy Edinburgh interview and my general technical incompetence when I paused it led to YouTube autoplaying this earlier guardian interview.

Spoiler: TW Child neglect

Despite her crossly saying a couple of weeks ago that she went hungry but SB never did, that isn’t what she says here. She also says she couldn’t afford to buy him shoes

I’m sure venerable canal Fraus have already seen this but as a new Frau, the poverty cosplay in real time is mesmerising (and not in a good way)

She's chopping directly on the kitchen worktops of her rented flat!

The ooni pizza oven, the “tiles” (3) for locating lost keys/ phones by internet magic, the smart mirror.

The ooni was gifted, that boiled my piss as I actually had to do loads of overtime to buy mine, I contacted them and they were quite happy for her to have one

 

[Helatruralhome]

This is exactly it - I don’t agree with people who say oh why make your rental nice as everyone deserves a gorge home, but buying SO many incredibly large pieces of furniture for a rental home blows my mind… but when you think about it she has no reason not to believe that her next home will be bigger and better because she’s come from such a wealthy family. Like her income will likely be in line with if not more her parents’ combined PAYE roles so of course she’d end up in a 5+ bed house that would fit all this in. She’s too dumb to clock this isn’t really the way the economy has gone for our gen but hey

Jack's like the only millennial who's doing better than boomers

Thank you. Wow, she really threw her mum under the bus with this one. Surprised she hasn't been disowned.

 

[streby]

But having bulbs in the sockets costs money Jack can ill-afford! Why else would she have removed them?

 

[OhGnoes]

And lest we forget, she sold all her possessions ten years ago, so she’s accumulated all this since then. Plus she’s had two burglaries in that time so has less stuff than she would do were it not for feckless criminals making off with some of it (though they did bring some back-see grandpapa’s Le creuset)

Tangentially on topic but I read this in a 2016 HuffPost article (SB was 6) the other day. I know she claims she’s had 20something house moves, but claiming 18 of them were between SB’s birth and him being 6 years old?!

If she stays the night somewhere then goes home again, does she could that as “moving house” twice?

Not even getting into the fact that’s not the only nasty self-serving utter bleeping lie in these three sentences. And that any “upset and turmoil” he’d had was SOLELY as a result of her actions.

Was she just shuttling round Big Dave's rental properties? ie he had a gap where one was unoccupied so she took it on until a paying tenant turned up, then rinse and repeat?

Pain in the arse, but if it was free....

Delia Smith is on Peston I'm presuming in her cooking and household management capacity and not her kickeyball one

OK sorry I forgot that was gifted. She definitely bought the big Smeg fridge though, right? (After attempting and failing to get a freebie)

 

[SpudYouHate]

Sadly true.
And then she takes photos of the spoons in the boots and flogs the pictures on her website.
I wish I were making this up.

Evidence:
Actually, are we sure she didn't choose the 'boostrap' title JUST so she could showcase this pic?! Or did this come after?
