Just recently introduced v family to pan loaf. They were not fans which was fab as more for me. The non heel ‘heel’ the best especially toasted

Some of the square endy bits were the size of 4 slices! But the skinny ones were brilliant for fried bread in the absence of white scone. And the oblong shape good for a square sausage piece. I'm having a full Scottish breakfast including sliced haggis on Sunday now 😋😋

Yes, Money Saving Expert. Please do google Jack Monroe and her "years of foodbank use".

Stop by anytime you like.

Astonished that Jack does nothing to disabuse anyone of this. Astonished, I tell you!

Years of Foodbank use. Years.

What happened? Did she go once and they trapped her inside?

Reeeeeeeeead what she has written about it now and open your eyes Squiggles!

Oh, yes. As a displaced quine, I long for a proper Aberdeen buttery or rowie. Any that you can buy here in the south are like cardboard. I fear that I will have to up my breadmaking game and attempt them or spend a fortune on a precious box from an Aberdeen bakery (they do do them!).

A buttery hot and fresh from the bakery back door is a thing of joy in the early hours on the way home from a night out.

Fit like!....As a newly wed, I used to live in a flat on Chapel St in the late 1980's - just along from Mr G's night club and above an amazing bakers which sold lovely rowies now I want a buttery!
 
argh, for my sins, I put myself through the rest of the tedx talk. this isn't funny at all.

she was actually better on camera back then, you can see how people would be suckered in.

reading out other people's emails of genuinely troubling stories in a wavery voice. and a retelling of "weetabix mashed with water and mummy's not hungry" and then a description of a suicide and then going on to say "this was my truth".

she's such a bleeping ghoul, but it really is a prime example of how people will refuse to critically appraise her because she's the acceptable and, sometimes, articulate voice of The Poor

Whilst waiting for the next chaos, I noticed in her final tweet on tattoos she claims that she can’t remember the ones she has off the top of her head.

Why doesn’t she just look?

Are they magic disappearing tattoos or is she making the whole thing up? View attachment 453319 q

To be fair, I sometimes forget about a couple of mine that I can't easily see.

I haven't listened to it but is that TED X talk the kind of thing you lads who have been suggesting I pull a Baz Lurhmann were envisioning? If that's the case, I hate to tell you but I SHAN'T.

Unless you send me a vegan butter potato pie.

I've actually been thinking, even though it's completely off-topic, I'd love to hear slopbot's take on 'UK Hun' ❤😭🤣
 
Late to the butter pie party (but not late to the less than £2 Lidl Danpak!)... I will be googling and drooling. Droogling? I make cheese and potato pie which is probably the same. Make some buttery mashed potato, crack some eggs in little wells in the mash, dump truck worth of cheese on top and bake... serve with baked beans in their juice (or ‘jus’). Not for sharing a bed with someone who doesn’t want to be farted on. God I wish I could be arsed to make it now.

I've never watched Drag Race so I looked it up and we cannot improve on that. I'm hooting at 'I like it rough but my lentils tender' thinking about how Jack always describes her lentils as 'swollen' :sick:

I've never watched it either, it's just sunk into my consciousness thanks to twitter 🤣

I just love the idea of slopbot chanting "bing bang bong. sing sang song. ding dang dong" 😭
