If it isn't in a tin, it isn't worth having.

She was absolutely amazing. I feel that way about Doris Day. There was nothing she couldn't do.

Love me a bit of Doris Day, Calamity Jane has got to be my all time favourite musical, I watched it over and over again as a child, even now nearly 30 years since I first watched it I still adore it

I do apologise for the copious pics and captions. Went off on a bit of a tangent. Be well, sleep well and know that I think you are all fabulous.
Good night.

Plus they will be epic in the court documents and Jack's printer ink bills are about to riiiiise 😂😂
 
Loving the Lucille Ball pics - she was a very funny and talented woman, that's for sure!

May be quicker to list the jobs JM doesn't claim to have had - she has quite some resume for a woman of 32.

(Eta - some words)

I made the salad bag pesto. You know, it was actually RANK. I followed her recipe, although I used well in date salad. It was green, but that's about it. The silver dollar pancakes were actually great, but she's no great innovator.

To be quite frank, that pesto looks utterly revolting. Slimy salad is particularly unpleasant and I can't imagine that blending it improves the texture!

No no no no no no noooooooo

The salad has to be MANKY. Understand? Mankyyyyyy. Don’t blame Saint Jack of the Poor for your incorrect interpretation of her fantastic and original recipe! Unless you’re looking at a bag of 50% E.coli then you’re too posh for it to work.

At least if it’s rotting it might have a bit more flavour? Her recipe sounds like it’d just be bland and soggy, maybe there’s method in the madness (at the risk of food poisoning!)

I just had a look at the salad bag pesto recipe. No cheese, no pine nuts (or any other nut, to save money) = no texture. Sunflower oil instead of olive oil. Just rotting veg and a bit of garlic.

It's sad. She just doesn't seem to like cooking. Her recent recipes in the Guardian all had these bizarrely basic errors, like simmering pasta or turning the heat up on bechamel before adding cheese. These are the basics of cooking, and after so many years of writing recipes, she still doesn't have a clue.

There's a wealth of information in all those cookbooks she has. You'd think she would have picked up these things? Strange.
 
Earlier today an article in the Guardian food section was “Lockdown Larder”. Now it’s “Store Cupboard Recipes.” Did Jack have a word? If she did - and the article above it is hers so it’s likely she would have spotted it - so pathetic.

(Great recipes in the article btw - I want to make the chocolate cake https://www.12ft.io/https://www.the...-easy-cake-and-cookie-recipes-lockdown-larder)
