She can't be that huge a fan of her Ainsley cup a soups if that one passed it's BBE over a year ago 🙄. That bowl of rice and 'stuff' looks foul.

for the Frau who wanted a black cat dec, (@hollowhusk?) Etsy has lots of lovely ones if you have a search. I really liked this one, for it's simplicity 😊

The Jack-Hack risotto does look like something you'd make drunk, given her wacky strobe mood lighting, one could think she's been drinking again. Would explain all the wackiness.

I was thinking it was just a drunk/hungover meal. (And I’m not criticising that as such). It just seems like she posts every random meal she makes as a recipe triumph and the squiggles bow down.

They changed the recipe of the Thai one recently... they're horrid now! But Jack won't discover that as hers are ...old stock
 
The other thing with rice is that white rice stays fresh for longer, as the oils in the germ of brown rice oxidise/go off. If you don't eat rice that often, you don't want to go back to your 500g pack in the cupboard to find it's rancid - and if you do eat rice pretty much daily, you aren't going to risk having to chuck 3.6kg away out of the sack you bought.
 
Tagging ainsleyfoods in the hope she can make an upside down spicy szechuan pineapple upside down cake in joint collaboration with delmonte. Wonder if she added the water in from her new Russell hobbs kettle, on her new sideboard, the utter gremlin
 
So let me get this right. Her son lives with her (“always has always will” apparently) and she’s frugal so never wastes food.

Are we to believe her son eats these concoctions?

On a Sunday, surely putting a chicken in the oven to roast and baking a couple of potatoes at the same time would be less effort and more nutritious with leftovers for some soup/sandwiches or just to stir fry with the greens and rice the next day.

But no. Its tinned fish, cup soup and packet rice.

I don’t believe a word she says.
 
TBH any time someone describes a food as "healthy" I cringe a bit. A lot of people have a very limited grasp of nutrition, and there are so many myths - the idea that foods "cancel each other out", the concept of good food and bad food*, the notion that some things are inherently "good for you" in some nebulous way. These myths also lead to issues where, say, someone who wants to lose weight switches from white rice/bread/pasta to brown, sees no results, gets disheartened and stops trying.

Anyone who thinks that white rice is somehow the devil's grain should, I dunno, take a look at Japan?

* there is no bad food. Except Jack's recipes, of course.

Are we all just casually ignoring that she’s put cup soup in this recipe? Wtf?
I think we need to warn @MancBee lest this abomination gives him stuffing in a soup flashbacks?

Cup soup with rice and tinned fish. I cry 😢

I love making risotto - it feeds me for a good few meals - that has got to be the crappiest recipe I’ve ever seen. And how bloody expensive?
 
The celery is an old ED favourite isn’t it.
There are many home cooking recipes which tell you to chuck some savoury powdered soup.
I’m thrilled to hear white rice isn’t nutritionally the same as an iced donut. I like brown as a variety, same as basmati. Depends what I’m cooking...I’m never cooking this though!
