Title by @Marj24 Let’s hope this era of Jack has mined every poo joke there is. Please remember to keep thread title suggestions to the tail end of the thread.

Wiki is the pink button for newbies.

Well, Jack’s dimmer switch eyes are going nuts. She put up her tree after Twitter encouraged her to/collectively shrugged and was a lovely community and not a hellsite. She has 438 baubles. Help her, she is poor.

More showing of her internal locks for the next Harry and Marv was exposed when Jack was revealed as the face of a new Aardman animation. Oops, no. Jack has written a recipe for a complicated and dangerous pudding for the kiddies to cook over crimbo. Best buy some toilet duck, parents.
 
For someone who is “studying nutritional therapy” Jack’s concept of “healthy” is bizarre. Brown rice is barely different to white, nutritionally: there’s about a gram more fibre per 100g and about 10 fewer calories, which is negligible in the context of a whole meal. Most people (and definitely kids) find white rice much more palatable, it’s easier and faster to cook, and if there’s enough veg on the plate the fibre can be made up elsewhere. Surely a basic tenet of nutritional therapy - like week 1 of term tit - is unlearning all the damaging stuff that diet culture teaches us like eating non-fat yogurts that are laden w, and instead eating what you like, and are comfortable with, in moderation?

Sorry I can’t believe this is one of the many hills I’m willing to die on but she’s SO thick and yet she has this inexplicable influence on a set of people with such poor nutrition knowledge and she’s just filling their heads with sticky brown tit.

Everything about this pudding is a clusterfuck, by the way. What child is going to like mashed up dates boiled for two hours? She’s absolutely clueless.

And why did nobody read the recipe, think “duck that”, and just ask whoever came 5th on the bake off in 2019 for a brownie recipe.

Perhaps they asked Jack to revise/rehash the initial draft and this is what was the acceptable/can't be arsed asking her again/ and it's now too late to ask anyone else version.

I never fail to be amazed that Jack still gets work, it is the eighth wonder of the coolinary world.

Yep. I hate the general word ‘healthy’ anyway to describe a meal as what my body might need at any given time will be different to yours. But if I were to use it, I might look at salt content in bought soups and how much ‘goodness’ there is in a tbsp of wilted down greens each.

Sorry not sorry but Jack’s a witch for posting this - it’s a response to the poster on the previous thread (really sorry dear heart I can’t remember your @) who said they really wanted the cat bauble in memory of their late cat. We all know Jack grunks along here and likes to respond to us and this is another one.

Jack - when you’ve caught up, pay your damn taxes.

So that’s really interesting about the brown rice thing. I’m not a big rice eater but the way the diet industry works I was thinking having white rice was almost as bad as injecting pure sugar (exaggerating obviously for any squiggles reading)
It’s actually quite Damaging as it makes you doubt things you see in front of you like my Asian friends who manage to eat white rice in various meals without suddenly coming down with diabetes.

At the risk of being thrown out of the Cabal, back in those days I would cook vermicelli and add a chicken and crouton cup a soup for the sauce. 🙀

Chicken cup a soup reminds me of the vending machine at the local bus station when waiting from the bus home from school in the freezing winter and it being 20p for a ‘chicken’ soup and I can’t criticise it for that reason. When I had covid back at the start of the year I couldn’t do much but had some cup a soups when feeling rough and it was just nice to have something warming when I couldn’t really stomach anything proper.

I love white rice! Paired with protein, fibre and healthy fat, it's absolutely fine, and one of my favourite post-gym combos.

I seem to remember hearing something somewhere sometime about the demonisation of white basmati rice being wrong because of its low GI - which is obviously a good thing.I don’t know where I heard this so I don’t know if it’s a rice FACT or if I was in fugue state and have made it up.
