That's how you know she's really fucked it. If she still had a viable career these people wouldn't be retweeting that because they'd know there was a risk of meeting her or having to work with her at some point.

You can't teach someone to play the piano by ear, you either can do it or you can't. I had over 10 years of piano lessons and can only pick out the basic right hand note, no chords or accompanying left handed part. My son has never had a lesson in his life and can play full pieces by ear
I was just thinking the same thing.
The only person I’ve ever seen use the phrase “pass muster” is my incredibly posh vicar. Makes you think.
That looks amazing!her instructions for cooking a chicken makes me want to cryso careless and miserable. Roasting a chicken is one of the most joyful and comforting things to cook imo.
I recommend simon hopkinson style (prob not exactly accurate but from memory):
pat dry, season with salt and pepper, cover in butter, slice a lemon in half and squeeze all over the chicken then stuff the inside the cavity with a sprig of thyme. 15 mins at 210, baste, then a further 40 mins at 170.then turn the oven off and leave the chicken inside with the door ajar for a further 10 mins.
Then slice the chicken and let it bathe in all the delicious buttery lemony juices in the dish. serve with some sort of potatoes, braised greens and a big dollop of mustard
It would be the only Biography for sale in the Fiction section.I see hunthank you
What do you reckon the post mortem of such a tit show would be like? This is her second book on thrift/survival during the second period of a universally fucked situation and it’s still not working… how can they possibly think the biography is viable?
I'd be interested in which version of her made up life makes it into print TBH.
Right! The claim in the Guardian interview that she didn't ask for help/reveal the extent of the pov cos she was scared he'd be taken off her was mind-blowingly disingenuous and offensive. As if he doesn't have a father and grandparents who would never have let that happen even if you could get your kids taken off you for being skint (you can't jack, you'd know this if you were remotely working class adjacent). Just offensive insulting codswallop meant to whip up sympathy. From my understanding of social services the kids taken away are in actual danger to life which is why we've seen such heartbreaking and sickening stories of these kids slipping through the net in lockdown. The comparison is vile.
who remembers when Jacks ADHD broke?
I do kind of what this to happen for services to comedy. The canal will need a synchronised week off work.
Possibly remembering this wrong, but aren't *funeral potatoes* a US thing? Maybe in the South, or linked to a particular flavour of religion?I've been to a number of 'Greek' funeralsand I can categorically state that absolutely NOBODY in their time of grief has the time to make mountains of roast potatoes for the mourners. OMG I just can't with this fraud.
What I am trying to say - another appropriation by our maverick pixie, perhaps.
That looks delicious and the instructions are lovely too.her instructions for cooking a chicken makes me want to cry

Makes it sound so appealing straightaway. Something she can never achieve.
How strange. All higgledy piggledy
(The galling thing is she has some terrific books there. Amazing ones. And seems to have learnt precisely nothing from them).
I just feel like her house is so posh omg. Like, it must’ve cost sooo much money to buy all of those books 🥲. She’ll obviously say they were all second hand / a gift / found in a puddle / 50p in a jumble sale, but I just think, how can she show all this stuff off whilst pretending to be on the bones of her arse, unscrewing light bulbs and making shampoo out of soap?
The carrot soup is a bit light on carrots. 500g is 4 big ones - 350g as she suggests is probably 3? But she puts two large onions with the carrots which is a lot of onion for one soup. However, she says she usually uses butternut squash which typically weigh about 1kg before deseeding. Two stock cubes is also quite a lot but then she is adding a lot of liquid. More stock and coconut milk than carrots, really.
If I cared enough I’d cook it but because I actually like carrot soup - I’ve just had some homemade carrot and ginger soup for my lunch - I shan’t.

With all this fascinating F&B paint chat over on the hellsite, I'm now wondering if 'Grifters Chuff' will cover the lurid pink in the mysterious other, other room with the bed in it?
Are you saying Old Harold and Burger Boy may not have LEFT?
Her book shelves are full of some wonderful looking books with different kinds of food styles. it amazes me she gets it so wrong.
It's a terrible contradictory situation to be in, wanting to cosplay poverty while simultaneously showing off.
LJC maybe that could be her next book - Wean in Grifteen! It’s literally ideal for her - recipes require no texture, no seasoning, minimal flavour, and they are MEANT to look like slop. Bloody hell Jack, I think I’ve just had the idea that’ll buy you your forever home. You’re welcome.
