I was reading Jack’s Instagram today (I was actually searching to see if I could spot NotJack’s dishes on R Jacks’s page because I’m a dick) and she reckons someone muttered at her on a train “White trash shouldn’t breed”.

I mean...Jack does seemingly have terrible luck coming into contact with such rude people.

I seem to recall her very recently referring to her "in-laws" which suggests they are. Perhaps some more forensic Frau could recall the tweet but it definitely stuck in my mind.

Yesterday she made reference to "my little household" and how it was simply unable to gobble up tinned fruit quick enough to satisfy the burgeoning demand for fire hazard hacks. Purposefully ambiguous IMHO if it's just her + SB.

Confit tandoori chickpeas recipe

Ottolenghi’s chickpeas are for sharing – serve with flatbread for dipping, lime wedges and a herby yoghurt dressing.

Was it this recipe?
That sounds delicious. I have plant yoghurt kicking about and can whip up some roti instead of pitta (bread is bread is bread :cool:)

That 'tit vegan' statement from Jack has riled me.

Also someone in a very small vegan group I am in (FB) asked about Vegan-ish last night. I mentioned owning the first book and it being tit, the Linda collab and suggested there were better budget vegan cookbooks where the writer actually engages with vegan food in a bright, innovative way even if they aren't actually vegan.
As far as I know that is a legit interaction, but someone let me know if it isn't.

Also 2: Cabal is the best, I'm hoping we can all sit on Southend benches nattering via tin can phones

Yes it was, it looked amazing and delicious
 
Mr Fruitjack isn’t vegan 🔺 but he has been inspired by that Ottolenghi clip to make that when I visit next weekend and has even looked up and seen that the recommended wine to accompany it is vegan. I’d better make sure that I am up to date with Tattle in return.

I think he was only watching for Naga’s trousers to be honest.

I saw Louisa has been tweeting about It’s a Sin so we can expect Jack to pick up on that in the next week I think.

I had written a long, long, long off topic post about this, but deleted it.

Please just watch it. I knew Russel back in those times, he dated a good friend of mine. I related to every single scene. I knew the characters he portrayed, the derelict hospital they reopened just for AIDS patients, the guy they kept locked in hospital against his will, the guys who were in denial, the hedonism, the promiscuity, the guys whose parents were horrible. It was all true. It brought back memories both happy and sad.

I am not ashamed to say I cried.

Really, really bad luck! However her white trash story makes me raise an eyebrow considering her M*msN*t post where she is horribly snobby about a loud, supposedly 'underclass' mum that she was convinced pinched her wallet (and that she wanted to report to SS). and.....she was wearing the saggy, grey, Calvin Klein bra thing as outerwear, without a shirt. Note to JM; no matter how you've convinced yourself, saggy cotton bralettes are not outerwear and you are not Madonna circa 1986. Now get to f*ck.

I am scared to watch it, because it's just so heartbreaking! I know I'll sob.

I had to watch it in small doses as it was heartbreaking and rang so true. I worked on a project in the early 90s rehousing men with aids in another city as our area had no support centres; Manchester was way ahead as they had community support and targeted healthcare.
I worked for a housing association and risked my job many times to 'assign' the remaining partner the tenancy when their name wasn't on the joint tenancy and the person moving was the sole tenant. Otherwise the person remaining would have been homeless. Thank god it was all on paper and not on computer's and I could get away with it.
