As ever season two: fluffy eggs (with sparkling water) on faces!

[TallerSally]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Despite the ‘almighty’ British media, the rightwing US media and the internet brigade attempting to outdo each other with their crushing, supposedly annihilating reviews of Meghan’s As ever show, not only has it spent the past days in Netflix’s top 10 in more than 40 countries (including being Nr 5 in the Meg-lovin’ UK), Netflix have renewed the show for a 2nd season!

And of course, Netflix are also actively supporting the launch and commercialisation of Meghan’s As ever product range.

So, some folks have plenty of (hopefully fluffy - add sparkling water!) egg on their faces right now, and none of them are Meghan. She’s delivered the perfect put-down to her detractors with her “Lettuce romaine calm” pun, playfully announcing her Season 2 on her Instagram…. and adding a bum wiggle which to me said “we’ve obviously known for months that there’ll be a season 2, but y’all didn’t, so we’ve let you play with your silly headlines and review-bombing about this being ‘the end of the road’ and we ‘should kiss goodbye to Netflix’ BS, before making you all look like the obsessive fools you are by announcing season 2. Back-off and just chill, folks!”

Too funny! So far in this little PR war, it’s Meghan 2, detractors 0. Basically, the general public don’t GAF about the screeching online: if the show’s a good watch they’ll watch it, and they evidently are… kinda like… a certain biography, that other Sussex review-bombed ‘abject failure’ that still went on to become a Nr1 bestseller in the UK and US…

So, where did the gormless twopenny British journalists and their equally misguided US counterparts go wrong (again)? They were so eager to wield the knife into Meghan (a soooo much easier and risk-free target than Elon Musk, Donald Trump or even Andrew Tate, whom they’re evidently too chicken sh*t to go after with a tenth of the vitriol they enjoy hurling at Meghan), that they forgot to read the not so small print.

That small print includes the words “Netflix” and “Sony Pictures Television”, producers of As ever.

Now, who wields more power and influence over US viewers and consumers, Marina Hyde and her fellow sour-grapes, or Netflix and Sony Pictures combined (not to mention People magazine, Drew Barrymore, etc)?

Hmm… tough one.

So next time spineless journos want to pile-in on a mixed heritage woman for the heinous crime of launching a feel-good lifestyle business, maybe they could read the small print about who’s backing her and turn their Trump and Musk a*s-licking tongues in their mouths a few times before spouting off, lest they end up being the ones looking utterly ridiculous?

If you feel the British and right wing media have been spineless in their continued attacks on Meghan Sussex, discuss!

Meanwhile I need to find me one of ‘em ‘Lettuce romaine calm” baseball caps. Etsy sellers, get to work!

There's a reason that recipe was buried back in 2019 by an unknown person!
It's not a workable or particularly good idea!
Real chefs don't even condone adding milk to scrambled eggs!
Fluffy eggs involve whisking intensely!!!
Adding milk is done normally to make the eggs go further, but at least add a creamy if not thinner consistency.
Adding water sparkling or not just leads to tasteless thin scrambled eggs.
Adding sparkling alcohol to dishes to make them bubbly or fluffy makes sense because the fizz is created by fermentation and is more stable, carbonation of water is not , heating carbonated water makes it flat !
Anyone who carbonates water at home knows this , the colder the water the fizzier the it is!

What she needs to do is listen and learn from successful people. For example, Stanley Tucci made the point that good cooks, successful cooks, always credit others. However, he always comes across as a decent and intelligent man.

I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt 😂

The alternative is she has forgotten what Archewell is all about and/or doesn’t really care sufficiently enough to put it above herself. How philanthropic.

She needs to promote images of those who can make her money. Those women can't, so what's the point?

Ok, somebody needs to give you a show! This is a brilliant explanation. And in some small way explains why many will be annoyed that a no-nothing, no original ideas person like MM has been given a massive opportunity and come up with such a poor product. It might look pretty, but none of that is down to her, and it's all surface level. All fur coat and no knickers.

Thank you @FromTheOfficeOfJammyTodger , I don't claim to be an expert!
But anyone with a basic grasp of cooking and who watches actual cooking shows with real chefs would know this!
I'm sure many here do too !
But yes listening to tips that are bollocks is very annoying!

These insta photos on a well established fan site remind us of the tone of many of the fans.

I sincerely hope they don't mean penis twirling by windmilling 😂

@TallerSally all the girls at the event screening in New York got them. Maybe have a look on e bay?

Aw, that’s so beautiful😉

Sorry that was in response to talking about the romaine hat. Maybe these instead from e bay ?

Hmm which of so many amazing women should I feature in my IWD post - a pioneering scientist or an activist, an artist, a feminist? Or I could shine a light on women who usually go unnoticed, maybe someone I've worked with at a charity. Or I could even acknowledge someone whose ideas I am constantly ripping off, like Martha or Pamela?..

Nope - just ME! I am what IWD is all about! ME! Who caused them to dance in the streets in South Africa? ME! Before whom did the flight crew kneel? ME! Who led the veterans with such aplomb? MEEEEE!

And sorry! But my last cooking comment I promise!

Before someone pops up with the tempura batter gotcha!
Yes in Asian cookery adding sparkling water to batter is common practice, adding water to flour to make batter is nothing new obviously, sparkling water makes this bubbly but obviously the key is to immediately drop it in boiling oil before it goes flat !
Obviously it could be argued that if you dropped your scrambled egg sparkling water mix into boiling oil to cook that may work!
However I wouldn't recommend it!

Don't apologise, Jeff! Great tips, you know your stuff!

OK, you really need to start a Jeff Goldblum Cooking Tips thread! With Love, Jeff!

If only she was married to a multimillionaire white prince! 😂

🤣🤣🤣 I will stick with my average Scotsman thanks !!!

Not sure @FromTheOfficeOfJammyTodger !
Last time I tried to share recipes, especially those with cheese it didn't go well!! 🤔

Christ almighty. So you can’t talk them out of it, they’re too far gone; you have to wait till they grow out of it.

🙄

Oh God...here we go...I thought those threads salivating about Meghan and her clothes were long gone, but now we're being invited to admire Pamela Anderson for what? How gorgeous she is. Please....To be clear: I like Pamela, but I don't give a monkey's about how 'gorgeous' or otherwise the woman is.

And for those pps upset by the 'bitching' (translation: critical thinking) about Meghan and her oeuvre on MN, may I point you in the direction of Celebitchy where you'll find your tribe!

Absolutely no critical thinking on there, just moronic fan-girling about M and utterly sick spite about the RF - and hand-rubbing glee about their cancers. Enjoy!

It brings her joy because she has made it all about her

Why do Meghan Markle's fans always sound like they are 11 years old? That is some of the most juvenile writing I've seen on here, really odd. How old does one have to be to join this site?

Did you see her fans at her NYC As ever launch? All very young, the sort that still live at home.

Do take care Coffee - I hope you will find an better space for you to comment and engage in seeing as the things that interest me aggravate you. But that's the beauty of life - we all don't have to like the same things. Wishing you the best.

Bless their hearts. Such devotion. She wouldn't spare them a drop of her sparkling water if they were writhing on the floor in flames right in front of her. In fact, she'd be furious by the inconvenience of it.
