Josh & Anna Smuggar: A Series of Unfortunate Events

[emmawoodhouse]

Here's Smuggar's plate. I guess the kids go without.

Jeez... Seldom have I seen a less appetizing batch of chocolate chip cookies.

Where does it say that that plate of cookies is for Josh only?

Since Jessa has her hands on Esther's  shoulders does that mean she's planning to adopt her? 

No, she's just showing off how Christian she is.(Voice in Jessa's head: " More Christian than any of you!"....)

That's what she's doing every time she talks about adoption, actually.

Those cookies look like they came out of a box from the 99-cent store. I'm straining my eyes to find a chocolate chip.

Those cookies make me think of the joke in True Grit about the chicken and dumplings: "They will hurt your eyes . . . looking for the chicken."

When I bake chocolate chip cookies, I load them up with the CHIPS! I also make them from scratch....not an 'add water' pouch. Perhaps that's what Anna used and called them 'homemade'.

I've never understood recipes that call for "x ounces of chocolate chips". Surely the recipe is "a bag of chocolate chips, minus what goes in my mouth while I am mixing".

[GeeGolly]

My ratio of chips to cookie dough is always consistent, because if I do make cookies I slice up a tube of Pillsbury. 🤷🏽‍♀️

The overall picture of Anna's cookies is unappealing. Maybe she needs to use a different filter for her food pics, or none at all. Or maybe the cookies were that bad. I'd be happy to steer her to the Pillsbury aisle.

That’s me and a pint of ice cream. It’s one serving!

One of the churches I went to was very snobby about having to have homemade cookies for the children's church snacks. When it was my week I the refrigerated chocolate chip dough & mixed in a cup of oatmeal. Nobody knew the difference and it saved me time when trying to get 5 kids ready for church.

When I made cookies for my family I used the Tollhouse recipe and added a cup of oatmeal.

Anna actually “liked” a comment on that post in which someone told her kids care about quantity, not quality, so a good trick was to double the recipe for the batter but still only use one bag of chocolate chips! I am offended on so many levels.

This is the same sort of monster who waters down Kool-Aid make it go further. People like that shouldn't be allowed near children.

[Joan of Argh]

My favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe includes mixing a pkg of Jello vanilla pudding powder into the batter and chopped nuts, either walnuts or macadamias.

Now back to Anna, the last thing her fat slug husband needs is cookies.

I don't know how she can have sex with Josh, he's so repulsive it would make my skin crawl.... He's a pedophile and a pervert, hopefully she's keeping a close eye on her kids, I don't trust him at all.

aka "bible school kool-aid" 

Not to brag, but my mom was the VBS refreshment lady, and she was a freakin' legend. Not only did she insist on ample sugar in the Kool Aid, but she added in fresh fruit juice. Sometimes you'd get an actual chunk of lemon or orange in your Dixie cup.  

[thehorseofpower]

I am a weird person who likes almost no chips in my chocolate chip cookies - this is due to the fact that my mother's recipe results in the cookie part tasting so good that the chips are like an interruption...if I actually baked I would make her recipe minus the chips and be happy as a clam. 😊

That said, Anna's cookies look pale and dry and I don't think I would be dying to eat one regardless of the chip to cookie ratio...however,  since I can't cook to save my life I probably shouldn't throw stones at anyone else's effort. 🤐

That was my first reaction too! Has color been declared to satanic or something? (I know it’s just the latest Pinterest fad but it’s so boring.)

I'm beginning to believe they don't use any color that can be found in a rainbow since in their world, rainbows = gay.

It does if you believe in Mr Hanky the Christmas Poop.

If Joanna Gaines says no color, then there's no color.

Anna you live in a warehouse do you even have windows?

I use the Nestle Tollhouse recipe and double everything but the chips. My mom has done it that way since I was a kid. I also melt the margarine. 

On topic—Anna’s cookies don’t look good.

So unfair the girls do not get to wear playground appropriate clothing, FFS! Just let them wear shorts and blouses, then don’t post the pictures. 🤬

Adorable kids.

They're still in the warehouse, from the looks of it. So no, no windows. 

And get Smuggar off my screen. 

[iwantcookies]

Definitely no windows. What if there is a fire? How will they get out?

I was just wondering that! I don't see windows or any changes in the lighting to indicate a window is outside the frame. How depressing. 

[BigBingerBro]

Well the warehouse is certainly turning into a home!  It almost looks livable. 

[awaken]

Haha. At first glance it looks like smuggar is sitting his fat ass up on the table! The black area in front of him looks like bent knees and legs handing down!   I laughed.

Oh my goodness, you're right - no windows. The ceilings are super high. This is weird because even the corrugated metal warehouse structures usually have windows. That is so sad to live without windows. At least we know the room Mella sleeps in has light, because I think there's French doors to the outside in her room.

And as @iwantcookies mentioned, how many points of egress to they have? It certainly could be unsafe.

[whydoiwatch]

Round rug in front of piano looks filthy.

[GeeGolly]

Watched the video in Anna's IG Story again. That is not even open concept, it is exactly one room. One windowless room.

It's another version of the barndominium. (or however you spell that) 

Really, though, they've got six kids because Anna wants a million kids. And they have no adults who've actually worked a job in years and they don't look as if they have any plans to work in the future. So they're lucky they don't live under a bridge.
