I quite like making McDonald's esque breakfast muffins and they are very useful for eggs that go into them. But I paid the grand sum of £3 for a pair of legitimate ones that won't cut me.

Ah. Maybe she's getting confused with the time she was head chef at Blackfoot. Or when she was working the grill with Daz at the Harvester.
Or maybe she's getting confused between egg rings and cock rings when she worked at the brothel?

Wait, so she gave a copy of Grifty Kitchen to Agent Adrian! She better hope he doesn’t actually read it, realise his mistake, then swiftly drop her.

What the fuck is a gentle resolution?! Given this is her job (I know, I know), that’s a piss poor work target.

161 books, but a cookbook ain’t one.

Has anyone heard from Adrian? I think we need to call in a welfare check in case he tried to make his own egg rings.

Gutted the mumsnet thread was deleted before I could get there. The more people who's (whose?) eyes are opened to the grift the better - keep those sales down! Mumsnet must have a difference audience to Twitter and Tattle.

I had a look at her Twitter thread and she never seems to respond to anyone else's thread or anything not about herself - she tweets and responds to people in so far as it relates to herself. For someone who lives on Twitter as much as she does, you'd think she might engage with another subject at some points but no.

Also this came up on my Twitter feed

I have an acquaintance who posts huge lists of impossible resolutions every year (writing an article every week! Starting a podcast! Learning Japanese!). It's now become a lovely ritual for Mr Beacon and I to FORENSICALLY go through them each NYE to see how he has utterly failed to keep any of them, and place our bets for the coming year on how badly we think he'll do. The guy is also a deluded egoist like our Jack, who utterly resists any suggestions for things that might help or that might be more achievable. It's hilarious.

Unless she gave it to Rosemary?

Jack Tweeted with the book on her shelf 01/11/22, Rosemary’s “looking forward to dumping you catching up later” Tweet was 01/12/22.

I have finally caught up, happy new year everyone! Hope you had a fun Hogmanay. I just wanted to add, very very late that when I was grunking I genuinely thought that the dedication in the new book was a spoof written but the canal. I genuinely can't believe it was printed. I genuinely can't believe the whole thing was printed tbf. Can't wait for the reviews!

Yeah Jack, other than the house/flat you’re obviously already in the process of buying, if your past New Year’s resolutions/“goals” are anything to go by I’m not 100% convinced of your ability to follow through…
2013


2014. “My ONLY New Year’s resolutions”


2014 (again. Published same day, slightly different, oh and also these other NY resolutions)


2015

(Incidentally, here she is nicking “adapting” another BBC Good Food recipe)

2016


2017


“Get an assistant” and also… “be better”.


Hmmm… she hasn’t eaten meat for 2 years?! I guess that Vegan resolution for 2016 stuck?!


A couple of years where I can’t find them
…if anyone can fill in 2018, 2020, 2022, please do.

2019


And then the resolution that dare not speak its name for 2021. (This is the year that she was also about to go all The Good Life having built a “compost tumbler” on NYE 2020)


2021


(credit to @Silver Linings for the immortalizing the compost tumbling)

It's a ring for frying eggs in so they have a neat round shape. It's not a nickname Jack has made up for her arsehole or anything mucky.
Now someone has finally explained what an egg ring is I don't understand why you'd wany to craft one or why it should be an item you'd need if on a budget and trying to assemble essentials for a kitchen?

I'm relatively swish when it comes to kitchenalia (I have some Le Creuset don't you know . DO YOU WANT ME TO STOP BREATHING?!?) but I had never heard of an egg ring before.

I think I need to spend some more time consulting my Lakeland catalogue....
