Recap of thread #81
Recap of thread #81
- The huge, HUGE photo shoot happened. It involved her running, cooking, dancing ā all in six-inch heels, and āco-piloted by a very tall, astonishingly handsome manā. Ah, perhaps good old Rylan has invited her on to Supermarket Sweep to help build some bridges.
- Sadly, itās probably not Iām A Celebrity, but @Bugger13 made our dreams come true through the power of fiction here.
- She posted a photo of an absolute scorcher posing in sportswear. Never seen her before in my life. The sentient mirror is not pleased ā this was an image never meant for wider consumption.
- Her website is down and there also seems to be an imposter website called CookingOnaBoot.com. The IP address (this lie that influencers spread explained here) is located in Moscow. #OhVlad
- She āmadeā some cute lil iced shortbread biscuits, with which to play an archaic game of yesteryear (dominoes).
- She posted a āgoodnightā shot ... looking very bright-eyed and wide awake. Hairās coming in nicely. She looked warm enough not to be wearing any jim jams.
- Funnily enough, her recent budgeted Asda haul seems to have been ... forgotten? Disappeared into a cloud of ephemera. How can this be? People are still waiting on liver lingreynie, dammit!
- She came clean about the shortbread biscuits and their origin (not her oven). Well done, Jack. Baby steps!
- She made an appearance in the British Libraryās online event: āMood Foodā. āCooking, eating and mental healthā with Kimberley Wilson. She was late and her Internet connection was poor. @Walkdengirl and @Yel took two for the team and provided live commentary in the last few pages of the thread beginning here.
- Thereās a new maverick thanks to @Alansbigplate
For new joiners to the thread, here is @Passive_Aggressive_Lemon ās āJack for Dummiesā post (edited to include updated info):
Thought it might be useful for new followers to have a post at the start of each thread with some info.

For anyone wanting to relive the glory days of her two-week stint on Daily Kitchen Live (DKL), have a grunk a through threads 2-9.

Jackās most oft-used reply to questions on recipe substitutions:
Yes, absolutely x
Some other favourite Jack quotes:
āBabe, sameā
āI did a chaosā
āMy maverick brainā
āMy sad little faceā
āIām BUSYā
āI HOOTED / I am FIZZINGā
āI laughed up a lungā
One of Jackās followers once referred to Tattlers as sad hausfraus and Jack herself has likened us to a cabal. Therefore we have become the Cabal of Hausfrausā¢ļø. She also recently referred to us as āgossip mavensā (so, we are gossip trusted experts). ** Recent additions to her terms of endearment for Tattle: conspiracy wankers, obsessive groups of completely unhinged bullies, bullying ninnies, and malign, vicious bullies **
To āGrunkaLunkaā your way through a thread means to catch up on posts. Named after a member who rather epically caught up on many threads in a short period of time (and is also a fearless pioneer of the space-time continuum. She really was here both Now and Then).
Jack once threatened to use her Liam Neeson skills to TRIANGULATE our whereabouts in order to intimidate us, so thatās what we mean by that. * She may also threaten to take us to court - do not be afraid, this is not the first time and it wonāt be the last. *
Jack once sideboard modelled a Vivienne Westwood dress, seeming to infer that itās what Viv would have wanted (as if she were dead), and then got snippy when corrected otherwise. There may be some āRIP Vivā jokes (she is, of course, NOT dead)
We sometimes joke about being on Vladimir Putinās bitcoin payroll list for being evil trolls.
During her stint on Daily Kitchen Live, Jack produced a godawful looking lasagne, with a thin white sauce that never thickened up, just disappeared. It was widely likened to āhorse spunkā - there may be some horse āspiritā lasagne jokes.
Her last-uttered line to Matt Tebutt on DKL was: āThank you so Matt much, Mattā, which made us all HOOT.
Jack ended a tweet that listed her (not unimpressive) four-and-a-half GCSE results (A*, A, B, B, C) with: āNow duck offā. We sometimes like to use this in our own posts for comedic effect. We are NOT telling other fraus to duck off, simply paying homage to Jackās own genteel humour.
*Back in the mists of time, one funny frau used a Jimmy Nail āSheās Lyingā picture to illustrate their thoughts on one of Jackās latest tales. @Alpha Beta thought it was Novak Djokovic, the cabal hooted and Novak Nail was born. You may see reference to Jimmy Nail, Novak Djokovic, or the combination of both: Novak Nail. All demonstrate that sheās lying.*

Here is a link to Jackās Tattle Wiki page, which also includes clips of Matt Tebutt muttering āTerrible!ā on Daily Kitchen Live, courtesy of @Yel) and @Bookweevil ās hilarious Glossary of Jack.
We are terrible for going off on tangents and using too many gifs, so there is another thread where we donāt discuss JM but instead talk about biscuits and stuff. For good light relief when JM is doing too much chaos, come to the Food & Drink threads in Off Topic.
