Stewie that made me laugh! Excellent 50 cent (pence) reference!!!

In my humble opinion TenderMouse squid ink pasta is one of the worst things I’ve ever eaten (I merely spectated the slop along as a lurker).

This whole spaghetti thing (what in the duck?!) is really giving me elf vibes.



Also, blitzing up orange peel to make dust? I feel like you wouldn’t get that consistency…

 

[Hollaaa]

I just don't see how leaving stuff lying around on radiators or whatever is somehow cuisine. We just call that being untidy in my house.

Sokay, the smell of battered tin mouldy family radiator orange peel shake n’ vac salad dressing garnish dust masks it

Oh yeah, TD was quite the fan back in the day.
Tbf she did see the light a fair few years ago. It was one of those cases where you can see the dust settling and someone slowly waking up.
She does start to challenge Jack in later Guardian (and other) comments sections before she went full on trifle defending. When the Trifle Battle took place a couple of years ago (check your history books kids) someone pointed out to Jack that TD was TDing and Jack's response was something like 'yeah, Nicola blocked me years ago'

She seems like a decent person caring for and trying to help others, who had the dawning realisation she was dealing with someone would not be helped out and worse, would harm others in their vicinity willy nilly.

I feel like if you were just adding new orange peels to a tin full you would get nasty slime in the bottom rather than dry peels you could whizz into dust. Do you have to declare a peel embargo for a week to let it all dry? What about in the months where it's too hot for heating and too cool to dry the peels? Is peel collecting a winter only project so you can be sure the radiators are on? Doesn't she unscrew the radiators to use less gas? Am I over thinking peely lies?

Grunking disclaimer

around 21 or 22 she pissed off everyone involved in the Labour antisemitism row, this concluded with her calling J Corbz “comrade” also this may be where we remembermithered (pronounced Re-membermithered) or it happened, that she claimed Mr Corbin has sent her an email coz they were such friends (it was an email to all members but had her name on)

I just thought I would share this post from Jenny numnums who put it perfectly years ago xx

 

[nothanksbabes]

Someone was already deranged enough to make the headrush spaghetti: me. Yes that is a big chunk of white chocolate in the bottom right. No it did not add anything pleasant to the dish. It was exactly as minging as you'd think. Here's my original post.

"Not just weird but actively repulsive" has sent me .

Sounds like Jack's Tinder bio. Or an excellent thread title.

Seconded! Although the last few pages have been an absolute wealth of hilarity and potential titles…cheers Jack ya mullet for providing such bleeping gold comedic content

 

[rage naan]

She makes it up as she goes along, doesn't she?

Thread title!

Also what is this nonsense

I think it's meant to say "to renew, relax and revive you" but I'm wondering who Stevie Yale is

Still here's where some of those work hours went. Look how the Os in Orange Oil are little oranges! I think those other blobs are leaves. guest's creativity knows no beginning

 

[HotesTilaire]

What did you do this weekend, Jack?
I’ve been putting salt and orange rind in milk bottles and drawing labels for it.

At least she wants Ol’ Stevie Yale to be renewed and relaxed. Here she is, giving her parents and (not-Nazi) Nan the gift of botulism.

Or she’s pretending it’s “vinegar” and it’s really a particularly alarming sample from a BURLY jockey who got stamped on the kidneys by his horse. Which let’s face it would probably be safer and more appetizing to drink than Jack’s KEEP ME IN THE FRIDGE “home made vinegar”.

'Slovenly' here.

 

[Fruitjack]

For very old timers, just to prove that things don't change, I have just felt Mr F's hand wandering round my leg and slapped it away with a 'no, I'm catching up on Jack Monroe'. 'What's she doing now?' (In a resigned fashion) 'oh nothing but I'm reading about her drying mushrooms on a radiator and mixing them with pasta and white chocolate again'

That certainly dampened his ardour.

I remember there was a day when Mr Fruitjack got lucky! (I hope, the poor guy)
I couldn’t even begin to explain guest to Mr Grifty so he just thinks I am a giggling weirdo when someone says something funny on here.

So lemme get this straight. Poor people don't have the time/energy to batch-cook food - which would save them considerable amounts of time, food and electricity/gas. But they do have time to dry oranges on a radiator, grow their own eucalyptus, dry it, and blend it (because we all own blenders?!) to use as a bath soak. When you can buy bubblebath for less than a pound in a supermarket.

Excellent.

Yes - I had a narrow escape with the squid ink stuff. I don't know what possessed me to buy t in the first place. Thank God I have capacious cupboards and it could be hidden at the back otherwise Mr Mice would have been saying stuff like "Are we going to try this black spaghetti-stuff?"

I was also repelled by orange peel dust, and TBH it worries me how many poor buggers actually tried her shite suggestions and narrowly escaped poisoning themselves. (Not to mention blaming themselves when the recipes didn't work.)

Citrus peel develops hideous green mould remarkably quickly, as evidenced by my little bench top kitchen compost bin. (I just stick the peel straight into the dustbin now. I don't trust it.)

I expect they can't stand the smell.
