Jack Monroe #549 Two different one's in three's

I don't know why, but her constant use of "your" instead of "the" really grates my beetroot.

I've read that it's a 'tell' for exaggeration and/or lying. Distancing yourself, in a way, from what's being said as it's not exactly true.

I'm getting "Patty Hearst robbing a bank in the 1970s" vibes from that photo of guest wearing tinted aviator glasses and holding a gun.

Isa has only one response for all this beetroot talk.

 

[MurielSnark]

I was at a gallery opening tonight.. and it was lovely to see that ian rankin sponsored part of the refurbishment. Softly, gently. A giver not a taker

Jackie, it coulda been you

He's a good egg, Ian. I'd love to have a beer with him in the Oxford Bar.

Ahahaha she's wearing half a polar bear in Sep in the southeast. Silly bint.

Whenever I see the sleeping rough post I think about how everything guest describes is freezing and/ or battered. I'm sure there's been a battered jacket for example but when I went looking for it I found THIS. I've never seen this before. Omg. It's from the holier than thou "I'm the most moral vegan" phase. Complete also with "scrawled" "promptly" and "resplendent" and also not really being a recipe but more of a serving suggestion

ETA oh god there's more. I hadn't read the actual recipe. Two pages to say "bake a beetroot as if it was a potato".
The all purpose " put it in soupsstewscurries", lots of popping things gently and carefully, bottled lemon. Also lol at "beertroot" #professionalwriter

I'm very disappointed TenderNaan. Beetroot's in the oven and I've started the twatziki but I don't know if the garlic clove required is a large one or a skinny one. With no idea how to proceed I've put the lot in the bin. Probably for the best.

Make that make sense, someone.

LJC! Good grief, etc. etc.

He's a good egg, Ian. I'd love to have a beer with him in the Oxford Bar.

I used to see him, JK Rowling and Alexander McCall Smith all the time as I lived nearby . The blokes were nice, JK would stare daggers sometimes. She is teeny in real life. I always thought she'd be taller but she's actually a smol pixie. None of them were too snobby to go out and visit the local shops on their own either.

I always think of Mike from Spaced.

I imagine Joanna Rowling gets a different level of celeb harassment than the other two, just because of the global HP phenomenon. I'd be wary too if I was a woman, small of stature.

(Of course, she gets a whole new level of unpleasantness now that she's become involved in the gender culture war too.)

Jack! The new Star Wars films are about to come out! And it’s WINTER!

Jack gives best “desperately want to get a Burberry sponsors Princess Leia” deal

Suddenly recalls the whole Ewok thing

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?

It’s weird how the three of them used to live so near to each other. I only know Ian and he’s a lovely man. I think I maybe met AMS at Ian’s house decades ago, but would be drunk, so maybe I’m misremembering

I'm a bit disappointed no one asked about the middle photo on the collage tbqhwy, so...

Here’s the Met’s average temperatures for that day. I’ve never come across another adult who has the time, energy or inclination to play at dressing up as much as guest does.
But then I guess her whole life is one big game of let’s pretend.

Hah every time I go in there I wonder if this will be the time I'll have to try really hard not to go "aaaaargh it's really you!!" But he's never been there yet

I checked again just for you, but the only information she gives on the garlic clove is that it costs 2p.

I know he's fond of a pint. Maybe he drinks elsewhere in order to avoid lurking Rebus fans?

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

Do you think I could spend on gammon but save on fabric conditioner? Isn’t that made of tallow (all animal fats are interchangeable)
