The worst part about those photos (other than the fact she used a self timer) is that they’re obviously aimed at someone, some new Mrs J in waiting she’s trying to subtly flirt with, and failing.
She’s absolutely vile.

That’s a lovely big sideboard

Exactly - how is it special? It was made in outbuildings and backwood locations and probably stripped the guts. We’re not talking fine brandy fermented from a monk’s tears
I'm always bewildered by people buying ready-made sauces. They are very expensive and usually don't taste great. You can make a great satay sauce using peanut butter, soya sauce, chilli (flakes or a squeeze of chilli sauce), ginger (frozen is good) and garlic and a bit of water. Will it reach the heights of a more complex satay? No, of course not. But it's a simple sauce that can turn some stir fried veggies on a bowl of rice into a meal. Yes, the initial ingredients cost more than one sachet of satay sauce and I get that there might be a situation where you have empty cupboards and only a few quid, however, these are extreme situations that frankly we should fight against rather than provide survival tips for. No one should ever be in that situation in the first place.
If you get the peanut butter, soya sauce, chilli flakes and frozen garlic and ginger, you'll be able to use them to make many meals. I'd recommend anyone stock up on a few basic cooking ingredients over time to make tasty meals. You don't need millions of herbs and spices or oils and pastes, but a few that you like can really make a difference to a meal.
Ones that I use the most are
frozen ginger
frozen garlic
dried chilli flakes
siracha
miso paste
peanut butter
soya sauce
white wine vinegar
rapeseed oil
olive oil
mustard
frozen parsely
frozen coriander
turmeric
salt
pepper
ground coriander
ground cumin
fennel seeds
I'm lucky enough to have many more, but to be honest, I could whip up great meals with that list for ages. A rough calculation brings the above list to around £25 if buying budget lines/at Aldi/at my local Asian shop. The great thing though is that of course you'd never buy all of this at once. You'd set £2-3 aside each week for one or two of those items.
I'm sure it's been said before, but it's always useful to put good olive oil, a nice vinegar, a jar of mustard or a hot sauce and some nice spices into your foodbank donation box. It gives people to ability to not just eat, but eat something tasty.
Yes, but before cooking, no?
The mirror in the bedroom had the moment of clarity.
It's the only thing in the house at the moment that is sentient or remotely self-aware.
It might be what it cost her, but it's unlikely to be what it'll cost you. Same if she was basing recipe cost on time-limited special offers. Really, budget meals should be based on the full recommended price.
From one published author to another, stop talking shite.
I need to let you all know about a suspiciously Jack experience I had last week...
I've recently moved away from the UK
so I am really enjoying getting to know new supermarkets, trying new stuff etc. However, my partner and I have been randomly craving fajitas made with those spice mix packets. We found something similar in a local supermarket one evening and thought we would give it a whirl.
Fraus, I think Jack definitely did her 'consultancy' for supermarkets here. The spice mix was a ground up stock cube with #lotsofblackpepper. It was exactly like something she would suggest for #letdownlarder. Got all the ingredients for fajitas, but none of the spices? Just use an old stock cube with #lotsofblackpepper

Slightly distinguished temple??
I took liberties in my edit of her recipe.
Patchy? Get to duck love. Sincerely, someone with about a 3 inch diameter circle of fuzzy baby hair on both sides of her temples.
She has the look of a sulky teenager who's been made to stay after class to write lines.
Either she is blind or I am. WHERE ARE THE PATCHES? What is wrong with her hairline? It looks perfectly lush to me.
I'm the scum scraped off the top of the rinsed lentils
This is exactly the response she wants, she's totally fishing for compliments.
Love how she’s got her arms round her blank A4 pad ‘don’t copy off me tattle!’
See she’s graduated from an old mobile phone to pen and paper! Wait till she finds out about Microsoft word!
