Maybe I’ve become numb to gentle criticism against Jack because it never seems like enough, but the contents of that article doesn’t really seem to match up to the headline.

Headline seems really negative, article seems mostly positive. WFK.

Also, is it the exact same article as the Irish times one? Or just the risotto bit? I definitely recognised the part about soffrito.

That review is all over the place.
They made the breakfast slop sound nice but have no costings of what it costs. The veg peeling lumps of shite cost over £6 but you have stuff left? So you use veg peelings to buy extra cheese and eggs . Make it make sense.
It's as sloppy as Jack's food.

Speaking of Content.
She posted the photo of her on the stairs and got a load of people (including professional groomers) telling her she desperately needed grooming. Then she posted the video I’ve screenshotted at the beginning of November.

Then Nothinguntil the end of December when she suddenly started posting her everywhere again.



I’m very glad content has been groomed but there’s also something very obvious that Jack thinks no one has noticed.

For anyone unfamiliar with this coat type, Our dog (although a different breed, his line is specifically bred to have the same typeof fur content has, rather than the wire coat you’d normally see in a WIRE fox terrier ) - Goes every 8 weeks and is shaved very short in his body, about the same length you have to shave a matted doodle pelt to when it’s been neglected for months (except ours is just how that breed is generally styled, short body, legs a bit fluffier and a beard) and months, and if he went mid November, his coat would be about the same as contents is in the second pic by late December.

She’s clearly taken her to the groomer and been told the only thing they could do is completely shave it all off, because of the matting, and jacks not wanted to post pictures until the all over scalp job has grown out

Im also in a group on Facebook about Doodle owners behaviour, and it’s full of groomers posting the abuse they get off owners when they’ve had to shave their dog. They absolutely will have told Jack that the coat was matted and how painful it would’ve been for the dog.

It’s the exact same article. It’s been published several places over the last week.

I’m over 10 pages behind but just wanted to report something cool.
I’m getting my sister some cookery books for her birthday because she’s really interested in it but isn’t confident or experienced at all (probs partially my fault, I do it all and can be a bit of a control freak with food).
I was on the Waterstones website looking up ‘simple dishes’, ‘best sellers’, ‘sale’, ‘new releases’, ‘top rated’ etc etc and I saw no trace of Grifty Kitchen at all ‘Spare’ shoved under my nose every second, but they’re definitely not risking their reputation by recommending our Cack, toot toot!

P.S I got her an Ottolenghi one and Snoop Dogg’s cookbook because apparently it’s amazing

From what the delightful @LucyAeroplane has mooted locals know that Jack doesn’t have friends just people she leeches off until there’s nothing left.

My apologies then, it just seemed somewhat extreme to me but happy to acknowledge that is not the case. Congrats on 12.5 years sober, that's a great achievement
Thank you very much I love this forum and how we are so much better behaved than the flying monkeys

Who'd have thought the first blog of the year would be about how the TROLLS are grinding her bones to dust?
