That's cruel. I hate water (I know) and always have a splash of cordial. I have tried the fruit infusion bottles but I hate that too, nor do I like fruit juice or fizzy drinks. If I were a child I would probably preferred to go thirsty and dehydrate, so not something a school would want.

She just said, and I quote "I can now see how good my life really is"... As if I don't spoil her with actual real edible cooked dinners every day! The cheek!I don't know how you could put her through that. Cruelty in a relationship should never be condoned.
Also, one has to find some form of entertainment during these dark lockedown days.
And SB’s horrid sandwich. And I echo no squash allowed for my child either, it was checked.
Why does he get the same tit sandwich every day? He doesn't appear to have any issues eating a wide range of foods. Let him have some variety FFS.Hi Jack - you reading Tattle again perchance
I’d recently put this to bed in my mind.
That clenched fistful of corned beef, disintegrating against the ... disintegrater. I am still shocked and appalled this was shown way before the watershed
I couldn't resist delving back in. Loved seeing Matt throw Jack under the "What else can you do with oats" bus at 4.25, which also includes "Terrible" along with Matt's 'Chicken Porridge' face and some helpful Freezergate info. @Veronicaaa - please also check out 26.35 for second source Kompromat.
Plus, see Jack proudly create a wonderful recipe which is essentially a tin of peaches gathered up within a circle of shop bought pastry from 27.15.
Bottom is a Denby bowl, available from John Lewis, naturally
ETA for our ledger fraus - £14 for a single, but the colour looks more green which seems to only be available in the full set? Attached both print screens
Please see another Denby style plate ..... STILL with the labels on at 28.30 for your triangulation pleasure.

I think she said that during the recent British Library online thing. And also where she said her child's school has no kitchen so it's a packed lunch every day.

Jack's tips on using a freezer "get one and use it"
Well that was insightful.
Wtf! when you simmer red lentils in the correct amount of water they absorb the liquid...I have never heard of anyone draining and rinsing cooked lentils. Rinse them first and skim off the scum as they boil...bleeping hell she knows absolutely nothing. My 10 year old has more food knowledge than her and trust me, my 10 year old couldn’t give less of a tit about cooking - she only reluctantly does it with me in return for 30 extra minutes on her tablet
Okay, I take back my earlier statement about the soup looking edible. Spices, such as curry powder, should be added before liquid, or they will not taste nice. How does she still not know the basics of cooking after all these years?
She spelt 'inedible' incorrectly..
I have the most fabulously retro set of denby dinner ware, including unusable saucers, coffee cups, and and lidded and handled soup bowls. My MIL gave it to me when I found out she was chucking it when moving house 
I love it but my OH hates it, says it’s too heavy! Pic for reference, not my pic.

It’s truly mind boggling! Also even if she did the method properly it’s still just a bleeping lentil soup flavoured with curry powder, hardly anything revolutionary worth sharing.
Oh ffs, you are joking?! These are a relatively new set, they’re still available online ffs, who would drop a few hundred on them only to give them away months - years later? Is Southend the new Kensington?
The question was obviously too technical! She’s not a chef!
'The best soup I've had in ages...'
Really? If I was ever tempted to write something like that in public, I'd hope one of my siblings would text me and say, "What the duck are you doing with your life?"
