PMSL yes! But apparently her parents are Jewish, she doesn't say anything about herself!!

She does answer this question though, it's creeepy!

Q: What’s the wackiest Halloween costume you’ve ever worn?

A: My mom used to go nuts and dress me up when I was young. At 5, she dressed me as a bride, and the dress had fake boobs in it. She went to a midget store and got me these little high heels and put makeup on me and everything. I was totally into it.

THE EASIEST TURKEY - MOIST AND TASTY - FROM JAMIE OLIVER I THINK...

Take rashers of streaky bacon (that's all you can buy here and this is the only thing this sh*t stuff is good for) and place over the legs and breast and cook in the oven as normal.

For the last 45 mins, take the rashers out and chuck em away (or eat them if your sad).

Seriously, the rashers are the best slow basting method on the planet. I do it everyy Crimbo and TG now, succulent, tasty and moist.

Has anyone tried honey roasted roast potatoes and parsnips. Another Jamie Oliver special but they are so awesome. Every American I've served them too think they are the best thing they've ever tasted (not hard I know) and of course it teaches the yanks what Parsnips are

Wine gravy? I don't think so. Wine is for drinking.... (attributed to Keith Floyd).

I saw one of his School Dinners shows, and he kissed the pizza dough he was making, saying you have to put love into everything you cook...

we usually have turkey with all the trimmings etc but instead of boiled veggies and roast taters I do Delia Smiths roasted roots (deliaonline.com) which are soo yummmy we also do baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon butter. Bake sweet taters same as you would a regular spud, mix some butter with a shake of cinnamon (not too much) and serve !

no marshmallow yam yakky thing here nor sweetcorn
