It’s probably not 'dinner' it’s probably for the web, 'pretend dinner' that will go stone cold whilst she photographes it. Then she will upload it. then they will have proper food courtesy of the Ocado delivery

Jack: I'm not hysterical
also Jack: everything she's posted on twitter ever.
and surely I'm not hysterical would be a good thread title!

I have a sneaking suspicion all has not gone well with the tuna, courgette and dead squirrel bake.
Possibly because she thinks that’s what most of the slightly lefter leaning general working class think, so she’s saying that’s how she feels too.I honestly don't get her beef with another lockdown, she works from home so she can look after her kid, she's up in the middle of the night so she can work (tweet) then. He's a big kid so can entertain himself for a few hours while she works. In fact he would probably prefer it, more time for gaming etc.
She actually had work during the last one and got paid well.....
No not squirrel nutkin
Or, possibly more likely, we had a lockdown recently and haven’t even fully left it yet, and because she’s miserable with whatever situation she’s in and that was one she was most recently in she attributes her misery to that. Even though, as we can all see, she doesn’t go out and works from home so why should she even care. Surely like any self respecting lefty (like she likes to pretend she is) she should be more concerned about the greater good/general populace.
Also she’s one of those irritating blindly anti-Tories, and don’t get me wrong, I didn’t vote for them and I’m not a fan, but she’s the type that is just anti any decision they make no matter how necessary it is or if the opposition would have almost certainly done the exact same thing.
She’s just not as clever as she thinks she is.
The £20 budget thing is not very well thought out anyway.
For example, for people who are genuinely on a budget, a one-pot meal is going to be cheaper than one that needs two hobs plus the oven on for 40 minutes (as well as a blender) - like that sausage and mash thing.
I also don’t think it’s right to cost the recipes up based on the yellow-sticker price. That doesn’t help her followers, cos they’ll not be sure they can get the items for the same price. Discounted items are a bit arbitrary.
I wonder whether these sort of things occur to her?
oh pur-lease Jack has neither the skills nor the ambition to forage a squirrel alive or dead! Only dead foraged yellow sticker squirrels picked up in the Tesco chilled section.
tbf Brenda probably isn't hungry this evening because she's been chucking her guts up all day....
You mean SB won’t declare it - the best dinner ever!!
I can't stop thinking about the mirror.
Why does a mirror have WiFi??????

Really? What could possibly go wrong ?!
Maybe her famous salmon paste pasta will make an appearance soon. She ‘cooked’ it on This Morning for Eamon & Ruth.
and BEG for more that he HOOFS down...
My Mum would not have corned beef in the house. That and parsnips. She was traumatised in the war having to eat various corned beef concoctions.
A cheesy tuna, courgette and mushroom gratin has just hit my inbox...
But that's the thing Nicola sturgeon has even locked down and even more so than bojo and Nicola cannot stand the bones off Boris, so if there was a way she could do the opposite I am sure she would have.
It's not like he's gone off on his own and done this the rest of the UK as done so too and although they are ultimately ruled by him they have their own policies. She's just an angry Harpy.
Takeaway pizza??

Oh my god, she's turned into the worst parts of the Mumsnet AIBU forum.
Am I being unreasonable...to say that Boris is a posh bleep who is using lockdown to genocide the poor while lining Gordon Ramsey's pockets?!
Yes you are. HTH.

Babe same! She thought it was common too! When one of my mates introduced me to corned beef and piccalilli on a massive white oven bottom muffin I thought I had landed in heaven
But probs haven’t ever bought a tin of corned beef in my adult life. My mother cooked like Jack...Fuxking horrifically. She, like many others mums here, was also a narc...still is in her 90s!
I honestly think the show where the chawners got bullied by Lorraine Kelly into losing weight is one of my all time tv highlights.
ALMOST as good as Matt Tebbut almost boffing up at the sight of anything Jack cooked.
