I think she spent that money on a kebab and fried chicken
Poor people are poor and stupid, dearheart. Didn't you know? They just bumble around, waiting for their instructions from Jack the saviour of the povs.

I have to agree with every word of this, dear heart.
the Lazarus pesto was low effort, high cost, unusable and untested (proof of this is that Jack didn’t cost it). If she believes all herbs are interchangeable, that is confirmation enough that she hasn’t attempted to make her own recipe of rosemary and thyme pesto.
anyone who’s into or considering buying one and is looking for some inspo, “healthyfitbella” on IG does some amazing stuff. All her recipes are pretty fabulous and she now puts them all on WHISK which is a fabulous app that basically has every recipe from most platforms on there. There is also a planner and list facility on the Whisk app so you can export the ingredients to your list and just have it on your phone when you go shopping- I’m a paper & pen list gal myself cos one day my list may be left behind and picked up by Jack as she collects them dontyaknow
Lots of people who watch cookery programmes, don’t cook! It’s entertainment. DH loves them, can’t cook.
MIL always watched the cooking segments on This Morning, never made anything. Her cooking was in line with Jacks, which is why I can’t bear to join in the slop-a-long.
Do we think Jamie’s kitchen is just in an outbuilding for filming, it’s not his real kitchen is it? See Jack, that’s how you do it.

Mix eggs, a handful of salt, cheese and a large cup of water in a pan. Cook the eggs in the cheesy watery mess. Serve the waterlogged, salty eggs on burnt cold toast, ruining the whole thing. Remember before to drain off the cheesy eggwater into a glass before and drink it 
If you have the space and can afford it, it's worth getting one. Not just for batch cooking but also for taking advantage of good deals on items or yellow stickers that you wouldn't otherwise have the space to store.
Reflecting on the period of time where Jack has remained silent on the charities that received money from Teemill.
During the summer Jack donated, IIRC, £78 to a fellow grifter who was crowdfunding for her sons school uniforms. She also donated £270 to a crowdfund for a disabled guy in Edinburgh to buy his first house (he’s still receiving donations as recent as yesterday!).
I wonder if she used the Teemill money for this.

Is frozen mince alright these days? I tried it years ago and found it quite grainy and not as tasty, but happy to try it again if it's improved
Arriving from the recent past to also say air fryers are amazing (I’ve got a tower one) I have a slow cooker/electric pressure cooker combo too. It saves so much money using them not the conventional oven.
Realistically the £1 meals episode of Jamie’s thing was a spin off from the main series one pan. It shows he has such a repertoire that they were able to find 5 more recipes from his book and film them to create a different concept due to his versatility. And that is why channel 4 keep bringing him back.
his lockdown show was brilliant. Daily on his Facebook there are videos posted from his 20 odd year Tv career with various seasonal tips.
compare that to the slopathon thread and how tit Jack’s recipes are

I'm enjoying the pressure cooker chat. I fell for the slow cooker craze a few years ago but everything I attempted made the house smell like Monday's dinner in 1983 chez my parents. Does a pressure cooker smell?
Absolutely x
I mean, the clue is in the name "Universal Credit". Covering single mums on the bones of their arses and selling their lightbulbs, through to couples whose salaries just won't stretch far enough and need topping up.
As Jack should know, around 40% of people on Universal Credit are in work!
People with different kitchen appliances, different energy suppliers, different priorities and needs within their households etc. Oh, and not to mention all the different cultural backgrounds that Jack has barely shown any interest in.
Anyway, in the current dystopian nightmare we're living through, it's not just people who are poor, and/or who are on benefits, who are feeling the pinch, to different extents.
PS - Yes to Twitter being chucked in the bin.
I'm looking to get a slow cooker/crock pot today. But seems like many others have had the same idea 
Just looking online so many, in my price range and area, are out of stock.
Sign of the times I suppose.

No, not like that slow cooker smell. One of my friends describes it as 'swede water smell' so I know what you mean! I've got an instant pot which you can saute in before you set it to pressure cook. So you get normal cooking smells!
Are you able to get to a supermarket? Our local ones - Sainsburys/Asda/Morrisons have loads on the shelves.I'm looking to get a slow cooker/crock pot today. But seems like many others have had the same idea

Just a note to be wary if buying online. I'm a member of a few groups and theyre reporting a lot of scams around for the instant pots. They're very much in demand and there's a lot of people out there taking advantage of it sadlyI'm looking to get a slow cooker/crock pot today. But seems like many others have had the same idea

We have a foodi ninja, we got it with the money saved during lockdown, due to not having a life.
We have experimented lots with it. Recently we have boiled eggs in it and they came out chefs kiss.

Crushed dreams stew-how long before Jack steals that? Or alters it into one of her beloved puns: crushed dreams n beans y’all?
If anyone is looking for different ideas for slow/pressure cookers then I can recommend giving Taming Twins recipes a try. I've made the chicken tikka masala, chinese beef and broccoli, easy beef curry. They've turned out really well using a pressure cooker. My son has issues with wet/soft food and he declared the chicken tikka 'banging' so had it for dinner and then his hot packed lunch for 2 days.

I ordered one of those and was reluctantly forced to send it back because we have no space for it
they're huuuge!!I ordered one of those and was reluctantly forced to send it back because we have no space for it
Thats one of the things I noticed with some of them, they can have a large footprint, and we have a smallish kitchen. I'm currently on the hunt for a pressure cooker/multi cooker, so if anyone has any specific brand recs I'd be most grateful
