Jack Monroe #75 Peekaboo

I hadn’t even noticed! That’s ace.

Courgettes do make pretty good fake spaghetti too IMO (spiralised). I prefer it to the edamame/lentil-based pasta, if avoiding wheat-based (i.e. “real”) pasta.

I like to spiralise them and to spaghetti , it pads it out without being too heavy. Why doesnt she give basic decent advice?

She said she finds frying sausages disproportionately stressful so she roasts them.

Okay!!!! I don't know how to respond to that

Mid grunkaing but what happened to JM and Sainsburys? Seeing references but in the dark atm.

They dropped her after she made horrible comments about David Cameron in which she accused him of using the death of his son Ivan for political advantage.

Frau’s I don’t have a child so please do tell me if I’m talking out of my (Mediterranean) arse.. but I think that I would sell a sideboard to feed my child quality food

Yes absolutely.

I'm in the past here, true to my name I'm on the Grunka Express™️ but I wanted to shout forward, through a wormhole to say @Geetbo I feel your pain. Back when Jack got her new Smeg, she posted an interior shot and I was DEVASTATED to discover that I had the same butter dish as her

Was it the rainbow one from Asda Grunka? If so babe, SAME

She tells him about her visit there in this blog post

He would have been about 8 then

Thank you for the receipt. That’s absolutely heartbreaking. She angers me so much

 

[Lanie]

The whole anti lockdown confuses me. Doesn't she claim that the Tories are money grabbers, yet they want to keep locking us down making the economy they need to stay rich go bust... Doesn't make sense to me. They hate it just as much as we do as many of them have businesses

 

[Harrybosch]

No.

Babe, same.

 

[Adayinthelife]

But 2/3rds of living wage is peanuts! She’s got an absolute bargain there

I’m behind so it probably already been said, but even at London ‘living wage’ level I make that she’s paying just over £1100/month for a 3-bed HOUSE . That may be slightly spendy for the sticks but you wouldn’t even get a shoebox for that in some places

 

[bazzam]

thank.

We do think you think you’re serious, but we know you’re actually a joke. Tell us - how does your stocktake help anybody? Really?

the sad fuck

I fucking hate the way she uses the word “scampering “. Makes me cringe.

Same. Always reminds me of some little hunchback gremlin. Rattling a tip jar.

@Saint_clemmie what sausages do you recommend? I miss decent sausages and meatballs

Still grunkaing but apparently the vegan Richmond ones are the best. The Waitrose cocktail sausages (fancy) are also good-bosh has just done a great sausages on puff pastry vid on their insta. The curry gravy was a bit weird tho, I did onion gravy & a herb wash. Lovely.

Another courgette lover here (innuendo. Get it, get it???). They are not smokey, unless you put them on a bbq or add liquid smoke. The same could be said for any other vegetable. They also don't caramelise, as they are very high in water, but not sugar (unlike onions or starchy veg). She really is utterly clueless.

Courgettes are great for two separate reasons. Either you use them in recipes for their freshness and because they cook quickly (the pasta dish you describe, or a stir fry or maybe a frittata) or you add them for added bulk without many calories (soups, stews, etc). Courgettes are no ones go to veg for smokiness and caramelisation.

Courgettes do make pretty good fake spaghetti too IMO (spiralised). I prefer it to the edamame/lentil-based pasta, if avoiding wheat-based (i.e. “real”) pasta.

Just caught up on the past twenty four hours, what a (chemical) rollercoaster. It must have been quite the scene in the shitty bungalow once she realised she'd been rumbled, furiously refreshing on here and her multiple twitter accounts with her Smart Price sausage fingers, going from phone to phone to phone trying to cover her tracks, wailing like a banshee and cursing @Veronicaaa in her adenoidal whine.

I was interested to see she even has another book lined up after this one - that she is definitely writing and will surely materialise on time - which got me thinking about other books she is qualified to write. Anyone else got any suggestions?

Thus insuring an infinite supply for her lasagna

 

[Blurp]

My first thought was also WHY THE FUCK HAVE YOU GOT THE BIG LIGHT ON?! Who even does that?!

I do! But only because the mice ate the wiring so the sockets don't work . I only put it on when getting up though, not to jump back into bed .

Mirror confession #2. I have a Hollywood mirror. Thankfully with no magnification or WIFI .

babe, same! Mine’s from B&M but looks way fancier

 

[Bugger13]

she saw Le Crueset for 2p in the charity shop.

 

[MarmiteExtract]

Has the Bad Food for Good Days / Matt Haig endorsement gone from her Twitter cover photo thingy?

Edit: Nope, it was just my phone being a twat

@Saint_clemmie what sausages do you recommend? I miss decent sausages and meatballs

The Tesco’s plant kitchen range have good sausages and meatballs. I also like the Heck brand too. To be honest though I’m quite happy with any of the options, whatever’s on offer, apart from the Linda McCartney ones with the strange texture.
