NO ONE IS REFERRING TO ANYTHING AS BUTTERGATE!
You are obviously not one of the “people in the know!”

I also want to chime in to say this current book is also not the Ouchy Mouth cookbook either. She has a lot of books to be getting on with. Maybe she’ll get all these done during her social media break 🙃

Earlier today an estate agents van from the local shop down the road drove past me house. After calling the samaritans , vomiting for an hour and hyperventilating into a paper bag I rang them. Only to be told that the little retired geezer they hire ad-hoc for out of hours viewings in my area often uses my road as a cut through rather than the main high street to save himself a little time getting back to the office. Well the absolute selfish bastard has left me wondering if life is just bleeping out to get me once and for all. Havent I dealt with enough demons throughout my small petrid existence but no, it seems life has dealt another cruel blow

After taking a couple of shots of tequila to deal with the shock and calm myself down I called them back to enquire how much the house I am renting would actually cost to buy only to be told if you have to ask.. you cant afford it, but seeing as you did, it's actually 2billion times your paltry salary you piece of tit. I dont know where my life goes from here but I muster the strength to carry on for another day and face my demons from the local Farrell Hayworth branch once again. Keep fighting the good fight people who only earn over 100k per annum life will turn around for us very soon.
hahaha this is brilliant, this has properly made me laugh out loud tonight.

At the risk of derailing the discussion, I just came across this video from 5 years ago of JM making a lasagne that looked so much more palatable than her recent efforts. Her tip for making bechamel with oil rather than butter was worth testing. She DID start her onion in a cold pan, and could have browned the mince a bit more before adding the sauce (top tip - dry fry mince, making sure you get lots of lovely crunchy bits before adding to a recipe) but the end product was much more appealing than the value lasagne. NB no horse's spunk was involved in the making of this film.

It’s taken me ages to catch up as I’ve been busy writing to Jack. Can’t wait to post off my memories of Jack to Natalia. Hope I get a reply and invited on that lovely Daily Kitchen Show she does

I'm glad I wasn't the only one trying to work that one out. Can we add "arse higher than hips" onto her list of ailments please?

If your arse is higher than your hips you’re probably doing a handstand and if you’re doing one next to a train that’s just asking for trouble

this is actually really sad. She seems normal. I think fame has ruined her.

That's what I thought. I liked her a lot way back then. She didn't pretend to be a great cook but gave useful tips to people who were clueless about cooking. She made food that was cheap, nourishing and edible and had an engaging personality - yet we must remember that even then her backstory should have been questioned.
