You *could* make soap out of pork large, but it's a massive faff, massively smelly and is probably dangerous given some of the chemicals involved.
I know how to make soap out of large thanks to Fight Club. I think they tell you how to make explosives too. Or you could just use Jack’s air fryer recipes.

I've been reading this as "soup" the entire time. I'm not dyslexic, but clearly my brain refused to accept the idea anyone would make soap out of pork large since we're not medieval peasants.

Eta: All this equipment and effort for pig soap. Why. I could be on the L'Occitane stuff for the price of the olive oil alone and that's before I've even got me goggles on.View attachment 2535381
We used to rent from an elderly Italian bloke who left all his homemade soap (not soup) when we moved in. It was rock hard and wouldn't lather at all.
We left it there when we moved out and it's probably still there now, sitting all sad and cracked in a trough in the back yard.

I have an A Level in Chemistry, and did the first year of a degree in it, I know all sorts of tit that I don't want to explain on a public forum 😅

Google tells me I shouldn't use an air fryer to make soap, or put soap in an air fryer. Disappointments never cease.

Can afford weighty gammon joint. Can't afford soap, so make it out of the rind. Make that make sense, someone? 😭

In the early days of air fryers I was perennially seeing the cleaning “hack” of putting hot water in the drawer with washing up liquid, enough to cover the trays they come with - and then instead of letting the drawers sit for a few minutes on the side/draining board before emptying and rinsing (most are ok to do this with, obviously frauen should consult their manuals etc etc) putting them back in the air fryer and running it to clean the fans. The mind boggles.

Has Jack really got 22 separate Cotswold items or some of these duplicates? None of these is a bed or sofa or fridge which are all bulky and basic necessities. How massive IS her bungamansion exactly to fit all this clobber in?

It does blow my mind. The expense but also the overconsumption.

Do you even need a hack for an air fryer? Mine is the easiest thing to clean in the kitchen. What the duck are they doing with them?

bleeping hell Marm that’s a new one on me.

It’s giving me a U2-Themed X Factor second week of live shows sort of vibe where a first choice pic did something naughty and got kicked off, and they’ve been forced to bring back the most annoying reject from judges’ houses to make up the numbers.

Refusing to make the most of this opportunity, she insists on alienating the entire viewing audience with her “interesting” bonding with Louis Walsh cos of her Irish ancestry, and her John Lewis Christmas-ad style honking mashup of the entire Unforgettable Fire/Joshua Tree/Rattle and Hum albums in 2 mins 20 seconds (interspersed with 5 mins of crushingly low self esteemed chit chat about herself).

ETA congratulations, Jack. I didn’t think it possible but it’s literally just dawned on me that there IS a bigger bleep than Bono in the world.

FFS thanks, I think!

What’s the wider context of “Just scampered nekkid into the background of a Zoom meeting and overheard my (influential ex-) fiancée discussing the program she’s making about Greenham Common, so I quickly googled it on Wikipedia and now I’m outside the local estate agent’s wondering how I can protest the fact I RENT and get LJC to televise it!”
