The followers need to have their tongues surgically removed from Jack's backside.

funny the things you make up.

how old was Jack when we used to sit outside Gladys's front room? THis PH is years older than her, and wouldn't have given that type of interview before he was at least 18.

If you were genuinely interested in teaching someone to cook cheaply. You would start with the basics, like a risotto or a pasta sauce or a stew, and then add on how you can adapt those to what you have.
I think there is a place for, what do I do with instant mash, in case people get them at food banks. But to keep choosing them is ridiculous.
Has she ever just cooked a chicken for instance, then broken it down now to use that over several days?

I mean, she's bought 20 sausages and used them day after day?

Though I find the fact that she seems keen on using the sausage/bacon up because they are pretty long life (the sausages were frozen for example.)

It's that white going to be called white or whiter than white?

Or as white as mayo...?

Did you ever see the mayonnaise cake? Even she couldn’t bring herself to ease a wedge out of the tin and pretend to enjoy it.
In fact *rifles around in #31* lovely @OhhBacon asked her about it

Nobody could enjoy eating a mayonnaise cake. NOBODY

Who would have thought Denise Welch would be her inspiration, or indeed, anybody’s inspiration?!

She was certainly an inspiration to stop drinking after watching her on Big Brother.

I cannot stand the way she writes her recipes - especially when she describes say, a pea risotto as a 'pea, onion, garlic and chicken stock risotto'. It doesn't make it sound fancier Jack, it sounds fucking stupid! I let her crap cooking trigger me waaaayy too much but being a popular recipe writer is my dream job and she just totally wastes it.

Found another very telling and eye-roll worthy comment on her blog. A BRUTAL portrayal of her life

Go Simone

Feeling a bit boaky at the thought of those pallid, barely meat sausages being used in a bolognese. Just make a tomato pasta bake, for the love of God.

As long as she doesn't photograph herself cupping a bowl of any of that shite.
I find her hands incredibly upsetting.
They look like they've had a 'previous owner' who wasn't particularly careful with them.

Amazing

I’m presuming she’s never had a POV partner.

Found these pictures - she looks so different.

 

[Lanie]

do families of mice live in blackberry brambles outside of beatrix potter books?

Course they do. You're so silly.

 

[DinosaurSenior]

I think she's trying to get the Jackolites to start a campaign begging for her to get a Damehood or some other order of the Empire.

Deleting all her racy/sweary schizz, name-dropping Royals. God she's just soooo left wing!!!!

I have never seen her recipie for corn beef hash. I know loads of people low on funds who make that. You can actually make one tin of corn beef, beans and a few spuds make a pretty decent sized filling meal. Also colcannon is another good way to use up leftover food and also is quite fashionable ( weirdly) at the moment.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I had a craving for corned beef hash with beans and had it at least once a week. The corned beef would be fried with diced potatoes and onions until everything was crispy. It was heavenly. No added fat was needed as far as I remember - just preheat the pan!

 

[Captainmouse]

They are pan fried. And the pan is cold and still in the cupboard

Mackie luvs a cold pan

My dad was the king of England, don’t tell anyone tho, but it was a bit boring so he gave it up to be a social worker HONESTLY

Mine was a gifted painter Why am I not really rich living off dad's £ ? Because he was a painter and decorator not picasso
