Janelle Brown: Smarter Than Your Average Brown (Maybe)

I just read an article about a girl in Colorado who died of prairie dog plague: The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is urging the community to be cautious after a 10-year-old girl died in La Plata, Colorado from the plague — the state's first death from the disease in six years. 

Be careful Savannah, Truely and all.  If you drop a toasted marshmallow on the ground, don't stick it in your mouth!  And don't dig around in the ground or sit outside when the wind is blowing prairie plague dust in your eyes, mouth & nose.  Who flattened the ground for the RV "pad"?

Sadly, the Browns were the first thing I thought of when I read that story.  So sad that poor child had to die.  I hope the Browns take their land use serious in regards to these prairie dogs. I know, it’s the Browns 🙄  I mean I guess it will give Robyn a reason to tell Kody he can’t enjoy al fresco dinners anymore, but hoping Janelle is taking precautions and keeping everyone out of the “pond”.

You guys have really done it.  Now I cannot use the stove without thinking of Janelle. This morning I poached a bunch of chicken "from raw" to eat some and portion off the rest to eat cold or rewarmed in the microwave rather than heat up the kitchen later this summer. Buying raw 1-ingredient real foods when they are on sale rather than processed or take-out foods is how I save a lot of money and eat healthfully.

This is logical.

Be careful! You may find yourself suddenly needing a metal wall sculpture of fire-farting horses soon!

  I am a very lazy cook, because I have dealt with the two pickiest eaters on the planet for the last 27 years. Now I'm down to one, but he's the worst in the critiquing dept, though he doesn't cook. (He can, he just doesn't, except for rare family events. He makes the best chicken fried rice!)

  I loathe cooking now, but I still do it daily, and definitely don't make a big deal about it-ok, maybe inside my head I do-but it's really not that hard, or really all that time consuming, and I don't yet have an instant pot like Janelle! She makes everything sound like she's climbing Everest sans oxygen tanks.

[BradandJanet]

I can't figure out what she did to that salmon. If she breaded it and then put the lid on the pot, the moisture stays in and turns breading to mush. Maybe it's some kind of sauce. A photo like that begs for an explanation. 

Successful weight loss surgery takes tons of self-discipline from months before surgery to the end of one's life. My dear relative has been successful, but it's a daily struggle. He told me the required counseling group was mostly depressed women, who spent the sessions wanting to complain about the people in their lives.  Most didn't make it to the actual surgery. If Janelle couldn't get a lump on her face taken care of before it got huge, she's not going to be looking for major surgery as a fix. An overpriced vitamin powder isn't going to do much either, and drinking up your inventory is expensive.

I don't think Janelle knows what monsoon means...

And I told my husband about the "from raw" cooking revelation that Janelle had.  Now he can't stop using the reference.  He is now asking about dinner...and will it be from raw??

😂

[YupItsMe]

Did she buy a new truck too? That’s the only way she could take her “rig” into town or anywhere…

It's a before-and-after, the mounds of dirt are in both. Her attempt to show how much greener it is since the rain.

This. I can eat very cheaply on a vegan diet—but I get what’s in season or on sale, not fancy-pants food. Freezing and canning what’s in season is useful, too, as is having a garden/bucket plants (for those who have the space) to freeze and can those veggies.

Ah, thanks.  Or winter brown vs. Spring/Summer green.  From "Monsoon" I was assuming she'd witnessed some of the major Arizona flooding seen on TeeVee, not just "rain".

[Irate Panda]

These are some convoluted questions, but most things involving the Browns are so anyway:

• If Janelle continues to live in the RV, does she get a homestead exemption for it and the land it’s on up to $150,000 even though it’s an RV?  I’m not sure if Janelle owns the RV alone or at all, but for this question I’ll say she owns it alone.
• If the exemption exists for Janelle, what happens if somebody say Kody owns the prairie dog plague lot with Janelle, and Kody files bankruptcy?Does the homestead exemption still apply for Janelle for the exemption value of the RV and whatever amount of land would equal in total that exemption value?
• Since this is all undeveloped land would they just tell Janelle to take her trailer and beat it?

Thanks for any answers, my only legal knowledge comes from Law & Order reruns 😔

Cooked something from raw

I just ordered a tuna sub from Subway on Ubereats. Does that count as "cooking from raw?"

[DakotaJustice]

I just noticed she has bad skin. Either she chose not to wear a foundation or the sun damage is showing through. 

[Sandy W]

She looks haggard and her face has an overall look of just sadness.  Maybe life on the lone prairie isn't all she thought it would be.

[WhatAmIWatching]

For as fair and pale-skinned as she is, if Google is correct and she's 52, she's not too bad.  Though, I'm a year older and look a lot younger, even with a lot of  health issues. (Pain ages you so fast!)

If I did something about the gray's that are taking over my dark brunette hair, I'd look even younger, but I am lazy and don't want the upkeep, and don't want to look like Maddie or Mykelti with their many shades of color. (I also kind of like them in a weird way. I also like blaming the gray on my son and husband, lol)

Yeah, I looked a lot younger at 52 myself, but it doesn't help that she takes closeup pictures of herself in THE worst possible light with zero makeup and hair a mess either.  But it doesn't surprise me that she can't even bother to take a good selfie.  Why does she insist on bombarding us with lousy photos of herself?  I don't get it.

I just caught up on this thread and think her defensiveness about choosing to live in the RV is telling and I'm not buying it.  I do think it was voluntary but she's probably doing it to be a martyr and/or to thumb her nose at all the other wives, like she's showing them up with her non-materialism.  She also probably thinks it pleases Kody that she is like the opposite of the rest of them and will martyr herself to please him.  Yes, she CHOSE to carry that cross to prove herself to everyone.  Kody didn't make her do it, yeah, OK but in the end she's still doing it because she thinks it wins his favor, I'm sure.

And the "cooking from raw" thing - I take that to mean that it's the first time she cooked something from scratch using raw ingredients, as in not out of a frozen bag of semi-prepared or already cooked food.  Which could mean anything from a frozen fish filet and steam bag veggies to frozen lasagna and breaded chicken patties.  But leave it to her to use her "instapot" (gag) to make the most unappetizing salmon I've seen in a long time.  Whatever unidentifiable stuff is on top of it looks like mush.

You are not alone.  Just the other day, I saw a guitar and randomly wondered if Janelle would acquire one, learn a few chords, and sit around a campfire on the Plains of Plague warbling out plaintive, hurtin' cowboy songs.

I am teaching an adult how to play guitar.  She is highly motivated, but the struggle is real, and the fingers are not wanting to make the right shape at the correct angle to make a fairly simple chord.  However, she is determined to stick with it and keep practising slowly, consistently, every day until it starts to stick.

All that to say - Janelle will never learn to play a few chords.   🙄

The crazy thing is it's so easy to make delicious baked salmon with any kind of glaze on top. I've been doing it with mango chutney, and I'm no sort of cook.

[Absolom]

My SIL makes a marvelous macadamia glaze.  I wonder if I can pry the recipe from him.

Janelle never seems to make any effort to make food look palatable much less interesting or pretty.

Yup I do similar with Kikkoman Takumi Teriyaki sauce or sweet chili sauce mixed with soy sauce.  So easy and looks and tastes restaurant quality too.  One of my favorite easy dinners in the rotation.

When my daughter cooked a lot she often made her and her husband salmon with a honey mustard sauce or a smoked teriyaki sauce. 

[xwordfanatik]

I'll eat salmon any day of the week, any time, but I would not eat Janelle's version.

Wouldn't an insta-pot or however she cooks it, make it soggy and gross?  It certainly appears like that, to me.  Kind of like pureeing it or something?  Like overcooked broccoli?  Ew.

She probably won't get past the first "cute shop".  She will spend several hours deciding whether to buy the pink or green candle.

I made salmon in the crock pot one time and it was fine - but kind of pointless since fish cooks so quickly anyway...

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Fish is so easy, and quick.

[MaddyMaeboxerbabe]

And I find my instant pot a pain in the butt to clean!  Rather grill salmon or bake it in the oven.  Def NOT faster cooking it in the Instant pot    

[CalicoKitty]

I might understand if she was using the air fryer lid for the instant pot, but fish would get mushy with all the steam with the regular lid.  I "steam" fish in the oven wrapped in a foil packet, and it takes such a short time.  And easy cleanup.

Saw this on Facebook, and thought of Janelle:

Really?  I have three instant pots, sometimes all of them going at once.  They are a breeze to clean!  On my Instant Pot face book pages, people make salmon like hers quite frequently.

I was going to buy one, and this is the reason I did not. Janelle probably spent more time cleaning it than it took to cook. Assuming she bothered to clean it.

[Kellyee]

So a family reunion picture on Instagram, but no Kody. How can she even say she's married? Has Kody met Mykelti's baby?

[Absolom]

I found soaking the pot made it a lot easier to wash plus they can go in the dishwasher.

I don’t think J is using plexus. She isn’t looking smaller to me.

And her hair is fried to death.

My mother has never had trouble cleaning hers.  In the winter time I often do the fish in the over.  In the summer time, on a skillet.  That way you don't have the oven blasting, heating up the house

She’s definitely not dropping noticeable weight.

Janelle has only ever been successful with the help of a trainer—she can’t seem to do it on her own. Between all her “I-went-to-the-gym” and “cooked-from-raw” posts, I suspect numerous trips to fast food drive thrus she doesn’t want anyone to know about. 

Janelle should pause her “coaching” business and hire a trainer. When she shows success and keeps the weight off, she can toot her horn and sell her goods. 

[deirdra]

For a while there  Janelle and a fit & enthusiastic younger woman were going to run bootcamps (I think they were virtual and pre-Covid).  Did that fizzle out?  The other woman seemed like the type who could inspire people to exercise, eat right and stay positive.  Did Janelle's negative energy cancel her out, making it all hopeless?

[ginger90]

 

She posted about the reunion on “Strive”, also.
