They didn't have to drag us like that"To be fair, if you're trying to cook on like a super low budget you probably can't make fancy stuff, right?"

Cba to look it up either but the figure of 3 or 4% comes to mind. Donāt quote me!
The blending burgers into soup thing makes me think of Wendy's here in the US - they make their leftover burgers into chilli and it's.. decent, as far as fast food chains go. Everything she's coming off with lately is very American - too much Better Call Saul, etc? Passing things off as her own unique ideas though, obv
Oh man I think im going to have to bite the bullet and subscribe just for this, they even mentioned tattle?! well played BaR
Yes, rings a bell!
I think Radio Scotland had a pre-arrangement with her to appear today but itāll be interesting to see if she pops up on GMB etc now. I think her Twitter has been a bin fire forever but anyone who books guests without checking their social media deserves to have a Poundland Danielle Westbrook who sulks with another guest who doesnāt agree with her and tells people to wash their clothes in shower gel
Yep it was huge.
This blog post possibly explains it well but it was huge. The chat on Ravelry (a knitting patten purchasing page) went off, it crossed to Instagram and was a big deal. It was all about inclusivity in the craft and representation of people, it covered race and sizing.

The knitting community is reckoning with racism
Fiber artists of color are taking to Instagram stories to call out instances of prejudice ā and to try to shape a more inclusive future.

I will definitely subscribe to the podcast to hear the knitting one and I will tune into the Jack one too! I listened to the 10 min freebie and loved the way she said Sainsberries, and explaining the Englishisms made me laugh.
Although I know all about Jackās behaviour there was something interesting hearing someone talk about it as a story of events.
I reckon Anna Delvey had exact same intentions as the net closed in and she scampered to Passages Malibu for someChuffing hell, I've just read about the podcast episode on JM. She's going to go nuclear. Also, remember what I was saying about reputation management a few days ago? She's going to need it. Expect a spell in rehab (real or imagined) very soon. Takes theoff.
management 
. She just didn't factor in her pal Rachel organising a sting operation where she was nabbed!
I did a thing today- probably a 'Jackism', really.
Wanted cake- am broke, so went with what I could find. Had some crusts of staleish white bread, but not enough for bread pud, so found a packet of digestives the kids had opened and not wrapped up that had gone a bit soggy. Put it all in a big mixing bowl, broke it up and added some mixed spice, some sugar and a load of (smartprice!) mixed dried fruit. Chopped up a few imperfect apples the kids had spurned too. Added a couple of small eggs and some milk (was a mixture of cow's and other non dairy stuff we had left over) melted a tablespoon or two of marg (not wasting butter on this) which I then poured over like you do with bread pud. Stirred it up and dolloped into a couple of greased bread tins. Sprinkled a bit more sugar on top.
Cooked in a medium oven for an hour and a bit and- it was actually really nice. I thought the digestive biscuits might make the whole thing go wonk (I'd have made a cheesecake if I had any soft cheese handy, or a biscuit cake if I had any chocolate around- didn't tho) but actually it's exactly like a regular bread pudding only more apple-y, which is actually an improvement, imo.
Anyway- there's my experiment for the day. Loath to 'waste' eggs and butter stuff rn, but we had quite a few, luckily.
I didn't measure anything but my estimates seemed ok. As far as calories go, it's cold, we're skint, so the more the merrier!
It seems to have met with approval from the family-
Here's a pic, though it wasn't intended to be pretty.
(I don't reckon it looks worse than Jack's stuff though, and she's supposed to be a pro.)

Guilty as charged...Another reminder to please catch up before posting links
If I have to see one more Sunday Woman link I'm going to yeet myself into the sea. Thanks all!
If you think about it, what Jack does is no different from those Tory accounts on Twitter who lecture poor people in what they should eat. Anyone who is active on politics Twitter has seen the odd post saying āonly eat grain or 5g of oatmealā. Thereās no nutrition in Jackās food. Iām embarrassed I ever looked up to her.
That looks lovely!! Just shows what you can do with odds and ends when you have a bit of skill and know what you like!
Tomato sauce is great at getting rid of fox poo smells!
OMG, I went through a patch of watching dog grooming vids on Youtube as 'relaxation' a while back, but the pulling of piles matted hair out of dog's ears with hemostat/ forceps soon cured me of THAT little habit. I don't even have a dog.
Today looks interesting.... I think I've got the gist, but will dive back through the thread for a FORENSIC analysis! I'm keen to know two things, what is this chaos to be known as? And can we get hats?!
A few days ago I was explaining more of the absurd Jackiverse to my long-suffering mother, including the ONS reply to the FOI explaining that she'd done duck all with them. My mum said 'so is she a bit of a fantasist?'. Oh you dear, sweet summer mother. She SHAN'T be allowed to join the canal due to the fact that I've called Jack a bleep multiple times and I've only just been getting away with saying bleeping in my early 30s.
Well my mum was the queen of 'knocking up stuff out of nothing much' but her bread pud was great. It's stodge, but always hits the spot unless you're one of those *freaks* who hates raisins.
I am not though.
The mind boggles doesn't it? The perverse thing about all of this is that it's just there, right before our very eyes. The scales are coming off now, I think.
That said, my sister in law, who is a very low earner, still managed to waste money on Botox ans some weird beading thing that I don't understand, in her face last year.
What does moon app have to say?I think at the very least, it spreads the message further and gets more people talking and noticing the problems?
Wonder if we're in for an eventful weekend canal.?!
Been popping in and out all day and was incandescent with rage at hearing her unexpectedly earlier today as I was going about my everyday working week. 
All I can think about, after trying to catch up on the hellsite she is on gardening leave from, is that sheās rebranded:
Jack Monroe: Cooking on a BotStrap.
