Jack Monroe #82 Cooking in a boot

[ReginaPhalangee]

I would LOVE for someone to tweet her a food suggestion with some random food/item that doesn’t exist and then picture in my mind her confusion when she can’t find it on Google to say she’s already aware of it.
I could just imagine how frantic she would be trying to work out what it was, and the panic when she has to tweet acting like a know it all who actually doesn’t.

“Purple cebleriust you say? Oh er yes I make an amazing curry with that just add some chickpeas and 3 frozen spinach leaves. I actually made it for an ex and she insisted it be served in her restaurant it was so good, and then the CEOs of loads of top chains tried it and now they all sell it”
ETA - 3 spinach leaves = 2 of your 5 a day

Do you accept payment in second-hand Cotswold Co. furniture? One careful owner, and sanitised of course.

She went the full Sarah Connor on these didn't she?
You never go the full Sarah Connor, everyone knows that.

Everything about this is so awful. The rat-braid, the giant pants, the sweat patch under her arm

This is what Jack herself said about when she spoiled her EU Referendum vote.
Oh, and the “bar” she said she went to afterwards was the Groucho Club (the private members’ club).

If she really did do this, and there is no way of knowing either way, I would have been so embarrassed I would have lied and say I voted remain. It was so foolish, in that one sentence she lost all political activism credibility.

Arghhhhhhhh! I've just done a full cringe . And look at the extension lead in the right hand corner .

Oh god, what about the slow cooker fry ups?? Surprised JM hasn't rocked out one of those.

Breakfast. That was the final straw. Why spend hours wrapping stuff in foil and balancing things in your slow cooker in a specific order when you could cook a full English in less time, and it would taste better (flabby bacon anyone?)

 

[Flibbertigibbet]

I've never had a slow cook but have found that brining a chicken overnight makes it really moist. Takes up a lot of room in the fridge, mind.

I've only done it in cold weather, when I can put the pot outside with a brick* on the lid!

*brick by Le Creuset, that I received as a gift in 1978.

But she later told a journalist that she’d spoilt her ballot paper by writing, ‘Not my circus. Not my monkeys.’

This is your circus, Jack. These are your flying monkeys.

I'm sure the nails have been addressed but I'd just like add; in every police procedural programme I've ever watched, when they dig up someone who has been dead for a week or so.
The nails look like that.

I'm sure it's safe. Didn't you know she was in the fire service?

From his other postings, I think that Twitter user is less of a fan and more of a racist twit just trying to be an annoyance.

yeah and it is one of the most tedious criticisms of Jack tbh.

God no. My Italian friend gets olives his family have made sent to him, and he's really careful to say we need to eat them once they're open as they don't keep the same way as ones from a shop, and not to eat any that have the slightest possibility of mould on them as its dodgy.

Can I please ask - why???

"Sit the duck down, I need to see bleeping Redcar" is dialogue so clunky it could have been extracted directly from an episode of Hollyoaks.

Only dinosaurs who place betting accumulators would ever need to shout those very words.

I need to triangulate Jude Law's movements in June 2016 now, to see if he was even at The Graarcho (can't help saying it in manner of 'traazers') that fateful night.

I've been making no-knead slow cooker bread all through covidtimes. Just for fun. I started with a recipe from The Introverted Baker, and now I'm a maverick. It's delicious, fun, easy and inexpensive. Cheap flour works fine, strong flour heaps better.

There's no expertise required, but it still feels like a bit of magic. Go for it in autumn/winter. I'd like to pass on the baton while I reacquaint myself with salads

Thank you for the baton. Is it a nice crusty baguette?

I did make bread during lockdown but in the conventional manner. Worked off a lot of anger in the kneading.

It still turned out like a breeze block and the ever supportive Mr F suggested that we stick with the nice bread from the local Polish shop. If only for the sake of his fragile fillings.

I think that work may have already been done.. Hahaha! I say it in my head every time I get dressed!
