Jack Monroe #90 Freezer of lies in a house of extravagant buys

[DinosaurSenior]

I've been listening to the Alan Partridge podcast all day.....soooo many similarities with Jackie! (I know quite a few of us have listened to it).

The Jackiest bit so far is that he no longer feeds his dog meat, to reduce his aggressive nature, and is counting out 16 boiled eggs for the doggo's tea.

Shocking, isn't it?

I don't think I've once seen her use her platform to raise awareness of anything other than her own greed and self-promotion.

I find it so baffling that she has the audacity to call herself an anti-poverty campaigner when I have not seen one single example of it in action.

Has she even shared the petition to the Westminster parliament about it?!

Attempting to grunk my way through, have made it to thread 89 but work keeps getting in the way. Just popping in to say I’m so glad to have found you all I think this is a wonderful corner of the internet!
Keep up the excellent work fraus. Back to 89 I go.

That's what testing the recipes is for Jack! No need to 'remember'!

To be fair, that courgette salad thing does look prettier than her usual efforts (it’s a VERY low bar, I know) - BUT if it’s made out of week-old shredded courgette it will be very soggy indeed, and the longer she leaves it lying about, the more water will leech out.

Oh but Jack did this first! Don't you remember the Jackanoshy phase, when she just filmed herself reading her recipes out loud in her monotone voice all meaningful as though she were reading the psalms or something?
ETA I just looked it up and OH NO! She's made the videos private https://cookingonabootstrap.com/202...e-1-cannelini-beurre-blanc-from-tin-can-cook/

OH MY GOODNESS! I fully thought that "Jackanoshy" was a cabal-ism.

You have to share some of those recipes for our entertainment and Jack to copy!

If she's still wondering about the chicken livers.....

Wasn't there talk of a squirrel at one time?

Nadiya read the CBeebies bedtime story tonight. It was about a bear who made a pie out of berries, honey, and fish... that’s Jack’s next recipe sorted

Seriously though, she was lovely to listen to. Can’t imagine Jack being any good at lulling the nation’s toddlers to sleep with her nasal voice and chaoses

Is that one of her own books? She's written at least two books for children, going back to her own experience with bullying and anxiety.

She's also just brought out a range of cooking and baking sets for children to get them in the kitchen. I follow her on Insta and her feed is truly lovely. Not just beautiful and tasty-looking food, but also her life and family. Her three children range either side of SB's age but they can all produce a decent family supper, unlike Jack. It's a picture of a normal loving family without the children talking like Dickens' characters.

Perhaps she could pair this with her Mumsnet clitoris..

Even the infamous “Potatoes” was all about her. It went like this: how dare Annunziata R-M suggest cooking potatoes from scratch is cheaper than buying instant/readymade; what does she know anyway, her dad’s a baron and that reminds me I have an antique joke about her brother which I’d like to wheel out; anyway enough about that, let me tell you about ME (there then followed about 10 pages of a histrionic and highly-embellished re-telling of the brief period Jack was in poverty nearly 10 years ago). ME ME ME ME ME and MORE ABOUT ME.
She’s an absolute horror and a charlatan.

She’s just SO BUSY people!! Where on earth will she find the time to do the promised beige postcards? Or is it possible she’s trying to forget about those ...

Tolietries
Kitchen roll

Cat food
Cleaning products ?


Maybe she is trialling a phase where she washes herself and the house with only hot water and one old flannel. Then bungs it on a 90 degree wash without washing powder and hopes for the best.

I do not believe for a second Cooper only eats chicken.

Took time off for burn out???? 2 months ago she was looking fabulous (and had massive teeth).
Not familiar with the author. Presumably teeny tiny picture books

 

[DinosaurSenior]

Oh no..... I was hoping she'd forgotten about Ian Rankin.

My heart sinks when she latches on to someone I like
