[Trillium]

She #flashcards so I’m guessing he was attempting to study on their #breakfastdate.

Why didn’t Derek and Jill have a breakfast together (without the kids), Derrick drop her off for a pedicure, study at the library and then Cathy & the boys pick her up? That way Derrick got study time, Jill got her pedicure and the boys got to spend time with their grandma. 

What is this thing called logic you’re using?!

Yes. I don’t eat at the nail salon. Crumbs in the water EEWWWWWW.

I like the occasional Egg Mc Muffin or Bacon Egg & Cheese Biscuit, but these two sure do eat a LOT of crap.  It's either some strange recipe of Jill's, candy, or fast food.

I’m really curious about Derick’s diet growing up. As much as I loathe Cathy for her beliefs, I can’t see her feeding her family cream of crap slop. If she fed her family relatively healthy meals, I wonder how she feels about the crap her son and grandchildren eat. 

I realize it’s not possible to dictate what Jill cooks. But there are subtle ways of getting the message across. For example, telling Jill about meals Derick loved and how happy it would make her if the boys tried them. Then teaching Jill how to prepare them.

Silly me, the Duggar way is the only way. 

[GeeGolly]

Derick is just as much of a clinger as Jill. If he didn't want to be there, he wouldn't be there.

[galaxychaser]

Nail salon fumes kill any appetite. Plus fast food food fumes. 

🤮🤮🤮

[emma675]

I can't believe these dumbasses brought food and ATE IT at a nail salon. That has to be some kind of health code violation. 

[Absolom]

Wasn't Cathy the provider of the spaghetti pie recipe?  She may be as into 1950s and 60s cooking as a considerable portion of Arkansas residents.  More current cooking trends have been much slower reaching Arkansas than some other areas.

And why would anyone be searching for the hashtag #flashcards anyway???

Jill has zero clue what hashtags are or what they’re designed to do. #influencerfail

Because that would’ve required some common sense, maybe?

There’s no way my salon would let anyone eat food in the working area. That’s pretty gross. And inappropriate. 

[BitterApple]

My hair salon has a little coffee and cookie set-up, but it's in the reception area. Nobody takes food into the back where the stylists have their chairs. I've seen girls have coffee or Frappuccinos next to them while getting their nails done, but drinks are in closed containers. Bringing food into a salon is just tacky and unsanitary.

Yes- snacks in the waiting area is one thing, and most salons offer you a beverage (like water or tea) but if you're getting your nails done 1. you don't have the capacity to eat, and if you're getting a pedicure 2. I think of the crumbs in the water!!

[Oldernowiser]

To me it just seems incredibly rude...what if the technicians around you are hungry? It’s not like they can stop and eat lunch whenever. Obviously that food isn’t incredibly appealing but still, as we learned in grade school, if you didn’t bring enough to share with the whole group...

Tacky. Also gross, but definitely tacky.

[Sew Sumi]

I've never seen food at my nail salon. Drinks? Sure. I've brought in coffee several times when getting a pedi but nothing if I'm getting a mani. That just doesn't make sense. Are they supposed to do your nails while clutching an egg McMuffin? As usual, Jill defies logic.

[MunichNark]

I'm about to head off to bed as it's 11.30pm here, but wanted to share this nugget with you that I re-watched tonight.

Jill needs this😁😁

You have the wrong couple.  John does Abbie's  nails at home so no one hits on her at the salon. (And JD's a cheap bastard.)

Nah. I was talking about Derick. But I was being facetious. I doubt Derick would even notice, and it would probably go right over Jill's head.

At least spaghetti pie doesn't have cream of crap in it, and Derick always made it seem like it was some kind of treat. I'm hoping she made healthier meals on a daily basis!

CantaDa?

also, doesn't every Christmas cantata basically have the same message...that Jesus is born?

ETA: Jill corrected it! But when she first posted, she spelled it "cantada."

Edited December 9, 2019 by Christina87

[Absolom]

Possibly the first Christmas Cantata Jill had ever attended?

[Zella]

Those are cute pictures of Izzy and Sam by themselves.

I wonder why Jill keeps clarifying who cdilla is. I'm pretty sure we all know. But I think it might be a way to publicly distance herself from her parents further, by drawing attention to the fact she's hanging with the in-laws more. 

[Nysha]

I had to Google it because I've never heard of a Christmas Cantata and I've spent most of the first 50 years of my life going to church every Sunday.

I went to church a lot for the first 21-ish years of my life and never attended one that had a cantata for, well, anything. I am more familiar with cantatas from the realm of music. I assume it depends on the denomination and perhaps the formality of the individual churches on whether or not they have one? 

[galaxychaser]

I hope Jill tipped!

[Portia]

I used to hear older people in Baptist churches refer to a concert or program at church as a cantata, but I don't think I've heard in twenty years.

Wikipedia seems to think that a Christmas cantata is just like any other cantata, except Christmas themed, so hopefully the church itself knows what they did and whether or not it has multiple movements.  🤔

Day 942. It has been a long time since I wrote in this journal, and much has happened since my last entry. Several months ago the male and female guard moved my fellow captive, Yaaay, and I to a new hovel. Although this hovel is larger, Yaaay and I are still crowded together in one small cell. He continues to become more indoctrinated by our captors and has several times raised the alarm when I tried to escape through our cell window. It is most vexing. The male guard continues to spend most of his time away from the hovel, studying any manner of subjects with Becky from the Third Row. The female guard continues to spend most of her time creating atrocious meals from the contents of her pantry, which closely resembles that of a midwestern bomb shelter during the red scare. Occasionally they go out together to consume local delicacies such as “McMuffins” and leave us with an older female guard. Sadly, my attempt to commandeer her vehicle and drive across the state line to safety was stymied by my inability to reach the gas pedal. Since then she has watched me more closely, but I continue to look for moments of inattention of which I could take advantage. Someday my moment will come. Until then I will remain vigilant and keep this journal out of enemy hands by hiding it in the “guest room,” which has yet to host a guest.

I use fresh garlic, and have no use for the pre-chopped sort in jars.  Given the price of lemons, though, and the fact that sometimes you don't even know if a lemon is going to be juicy enough, I find bottled lemon juice so much more economical (I tend to use it quite a lot), and it's a natural product, so bottled lemon juice is a staple in my kitchen. I use fresh lemons when the zest is also an important part of the recipe, but otherwise the bottled is just as good.

I wonder if Jill and Derrick's thoughts on tipping have changed since he has been driving for grubhub where tips are a lot of the income for drivers.

I can see it going either way - they might think to tip others or they might think only they, as persecuted christians screwed out of money by TLC and JB deserve tips or some such thing like that

I admit I don't know the price of lemons so maybe I should excuse that one.  I live in southern California so lemons are not usually store bought.  The neighbors and I share a tree and have so many we're feeding the birds and squirrels with the excess.

Typically, they are about two for a dollar here. You can get them cheaper if you get a bigger bag, but I always find, in that case, that they are a much poorer quality than the ones I can choose off the shelf, and many start rotting within days.

I probably shop somewhat like Jill. I hate the smell of chopping garlic and lemons are very expensive here, so I use bottled for both. I also use cream of <something> soups to make  comfort-food casseroles like dear old mom use to make. Although, I don't make them very often and my meals are seldom beige

I buy the jarred minced garlic as well. I love fresh, but I feel like I can never get the smell off my hands, no matter how hard I scrub.

Somehow, I don't mind the garlic on my hands. I can understand how it could be annoying, but it just doesn't annoy me enough to not chop it fresh. It comes off in time, and in the meantime, I guess I just enjoy the smell of garlic, whether in food or on my hands 😁 

It does come off pretty easily with lemon juice, though.

I don’t think Derek tells her about tips  nothing to base this feeling on   Just a feeling I get 

[Zahdii]

I get that Jill and the wreck are plenty snarkworthy.  They invite it by being so clueless to so many things, and they keep putting it all online.  They are both stunted by their backgrounds and seem to have a slow learning curve.  They're hamstrung by the leghumpers who continually assure them that almost everything they do is completely wonderful, Godly, and a positive inspiration.  

That said, I've criticized them plenty, but I refuse to throw a fit over Jill making hummus with bottled lemon juice and jarred garlic.

[lefawn]

I buy my hummus.  It comes in a big container from Costco.  I eat it with baby carrots, pre-washed and out of a bag.  Jill's clearly making more of an effort than I am.

agree

given that for years the duggars, especially JB, were shown sneering at any and every food outside their usual fare, the fact that Jill knows how to make hummus with ingredients and a food processor is a leap from duggarville.

for all Jill's crap recipes Jill does seem to use kitchen appliances, as compared to Jessa who had 2 expensive stand mixers on her registry and now claims not to own one/never uses one.

Her kitchen dining area is looking like Jana might have paid a visit....  I'm still not a fan of the table up against the wall.
