That’s onions
So, canal, do we think “A Girl Called Slop” will actually come out or not? Will it be the definitive version of Jackanory or nothing new at all?
Oh jenny, at least we still have the book blurb from that AWFUL Zoe Williams article last year where Saint Jack of the Povs is just fawned all over.
Grifty Kitchen “like a modern day Mrs Beeton” and her memoir “about the impact on women (ie ME ME ME ME) of austerity”.
Like you, I too will feel as deprived as poor Jack circa late 2011-2013 if we don’t get that memoir, especially as with all the conflicting timelines it’s going to be like one of those fabulous 80s choose your own adventure books.
At least now we know why she’s quiet. She hasn’t been cancelled after all, she’s simply (per her plan) “jettisoning every interview, every engagement, that doesn’t move things closer to ending poverty”.
Jack Monroe on food poverty and fury: 'I just wake up, look at the news, and get angry'
The cook and campaigner barely slept last week as the row raged over inadequate food parcels for kids. She discusses austerity, cronyism and why she’ll never stop fighting

Ah, but she didn't say which weekend - perhaps she meant "the 344th weekend from now", so something to really look forward to!
PS - I'm racked with guilt that I failed to credit you as the progenitor of the Demented Cupcake in a previous post. My sincere apologies, you a) are awesome and b) rock.

I got a U for my biology O level at same school as our Jackie. Didn’t stop me getting a first class honours at 35 in a science subject though. She could do anything she wanted if she applied herself.
I've started to misread Grifty Kitchen as Grifty Knickers in the last page of posts.
That Canal Of Ninnies: Their Part In My Downfall by Jack Monroe.
It’s the ‘if she applied herself’ part where it all just goes so wrong…
"I had lived painstakingly, gnashingly, uberleutently round the edges in 57 rented bunkers, when would I finally find the secure underground lair to call mein furever haus?"

Lads I’m feeling a bit cheated… my Old Harold has laryngitis (CONFIRMED) and I haven’t been treated to single sexy shower Boulevaaard singing session. In fact his croaky voice and general man flu whinging is really pissing me off.
She really looks like something off the cover of a bad romance novel in those pics
In the Guardian article, it opens with:Oh jenny, at least we still have the book blurb from that AWFUL Zoe Williams article last year where Saint Jack of the Povs is just fawned all over.

OMG I think she’s published her memoir already!Jack Monroe on food poverty and fury: 'I just wake up, look at the news, and get angry'

I speak to Jack Monroe, cook, author and campaigner, towards the end of a tumultuous week in food poverty. On Monday, a Twitter user, @roadsidemum, posted a photo of a “hamper” she said was intended to replace her child’s free school lunches for two weeks. The provider, Chartwells, claimed it covered one week and was funded at £10.50. The contents wouldn’t have cost you £6 in any supermarket. Parents all over the country shared similar photos, food nothing short of contemptuous: half a red pepper, a quarter of an onion. What kind of company would employ someone to make sure no family gets too much onion? Monroe has been sent similar photos since March – the packages sent to shielding people, outsourced by the government to other companies, were similarly unimpressive, though “they got a couple of tins of pork as well. Every time I tried to make a noise about it, it was just like shouting in the wind.”
I have a question. This article was published in January 2021; by which point Jack says she’s had photos of inadequate food parcels for 9 months. Does anyone know if she posted these online, and what the traction was like? Or did she simply do work BTS and jump on RSM’s bandwagon at the first chance she could?
Probably not keep a partner long term TBF. I think she’s got more chance of learning to drive, cook and swim (simultaneously) than that.
I did this the other day. Please don’t let a third person do this in case it’s like Candyman and we manifest a chaos nobody wants or needs ever let alone just before ChristmasNot wearing my glasses - I read that as 'porno'.
It will have been rinsedThe grifty kitchen wig with bandana is the one that most unsettles me, feels like she’s about to offer me a homemade hemp tampon but don’t worry it’s only “slightly” used
Well, I hate to break it to you, tender one, but she ~is~ “a keen amateur actress”I did this the other day. Please don’t let a third person do this in case it’s like Candyman and we manifest a chaos nobody wants or needs ever let alone just before Christmas

There once was a 'cook' named Jack
Who always kept her grift on track
But when she was cooking
Her fanny was looking
For a place to rest, and the worktop was perfect for that

I just pray that there is some moment of justice for Iqbal, and he gets to descend the stairs of the crappy bungalow and have a ceremonial turd in one of her handbags.
