I had LEFT over the New Year so missed this but - 183 books - so ... A BOOK EVERY OTHER DAY? What's she reading ... Goosebumps?
Mr Men & Little Miss books, dearheart

P.S. coming from the past, so apologies if we are now well past this x

She's actually filling them with wax? Jesus. I just thought she was putting tealights in them.
Big D will have a fit when he reads those tweets.
I think it’s ok as long as you don’t put the candle tins in the microwave.


@Flivver Jack pretending that her electric kettle was a hob kettle. While rubbing her flue on the counter again, pretending to be sober after a week and forgetting to move the base for the electric kettle before the Guardian snapped the pic.
Dipshit.

I just showed that pic to Mr Mabel and said I fancied making this for tea tonight.

Jack’s entire kitchen is already a complete fire hazard/safety nightmare though, so the candle tins are really just the cherry pilchard on top of the trifle.

PS check out the date on this bottom one. 4th Feb.

A mere 3 weeks after this “peaceful and serene” decluttered kitchen, the very same corner (and the rest of it) rammed with shit. WHAT. A. TIT. I feel soooooo sorry for that landlady.

Also, I am not smol and would not be able to reach the performative ‘eclectic’ utensils hanging over the hob. My hob is about waist height and I would not want to set my consensual perky blinders on fire leaning/stretching up and over trying to get hold of a spatula. That said, seeing as everything she cooks is slop, spatula is probs surplus to requirements…. Inexplicable, if you will.

Jack, I think your mate Gary is TROLLING you on Twitter by getting all up in your niche!

Although…
Bit gauche, Gary darling.

Let's face it, she spends those 120 hours a week or whatever it was now, just moving stuff around in her house constantly. That kitchen is a state.

Did we have £75 for the toaster that didn’t exist @That Forensic Man ??

You know, I have had some very ridiculous "Ooh, I can create this out of this" ideas, but not once have I looked at my empty tin of beans and thought it would make a perfect candle/lantern/whatever. Not even at 2am after too much vodka.

As dearest @HotesTilaire pondered many moons ago back in the mists of late 2021


That was after @Marmalade Atkins had immortalized yet another massive moving “project” involving seventysomething boxes and Jack humping sideboards (this time thankfully NOT in a manky sports bra and support underwear “sexy” way. In a world’s strongest smol pixie way).
She recently claimed to have given this dining table away too (while lying about how big it actually is and pretending it sits 14). And implying SHE bought it outright.

Contradicting what she’d said before. I wonder if she had to “snap it in half clean down the middle” like the old one so she could give Louisa back her half before it “trotted off”.

(@Marmalade Atkins for the screenies and @HotesTilaire for the musings )

Looking at the ‘no mental in the microwave’ posts - WTF is a scant tablespoon of water?! I know this has been covered before, but it perplexes me every time. Or do it mean it perpendiculates me? All word interchangeable etc.

'Scant' is one of Nigella's favourite words, just google Nigella + scant and you'll get pages of results.

Popped into town today, 1st time since Christmas and tenderstems, I made a beeline for Waterstones.
There it was, the same, singular, solitary copy that my sister has been keeping her eye on. It's apparently sat there since it shit the shelves. Surrounded by delicious, creative tomes full of enticement and promise, like a pair of Adidas 4 stripes, it just looked wrong.

Unfortunately, I was spotted doing this
But to my surprise, everyone in the store turned around and slowly started clapping. It got louder and louder, until I was gently scooped up, tenderly held aloft onto the shoulders of the other customers until the manager came over, quietly wiping a tear away and whispered, "thankyou thankyou thankyou"

Jackie? That you?
Ideally Jack would marry someone like this so they could drink up the rinsed bean juice and together they’d use up a tin of beans with zero waste (the tins themselves would be turned into candles of course).

“Jack Spratt Monroe would eat no sauce
Her OH would eat no beans
And so between the both of them
They licked the platter clean.”
