Lazy Sunday: Catch Up Time
Dear Kay,
Here are five Lazy Sundays that really worked their way into my memory. If you happened to have missed any of these, please settle in.
So much food for thought, feasts for the eyes, a smorgasbord of tidiness, and literal food to eat to be found here.
The Look
A commercial with a vital message. This is a must—if you watch only one video today, this is the one.
The Gospel According to André
André Leon Talley is a legendary figure in the fashion world. This dazzling documentary may lead you to rethink your wardrobe, your life.
Tidying Up with Marie Kondo
Will tidying up change your life? Marie Kondo says yes.
The Quilters of Gee’s Bend
The exquisite quilts of Gee’s Bend have long inspired us. Here’s a brief visit to south Alabama where the traditions continue.
Salt Fat Acid Heat
A cooking show that is a breath of fresh air. Samin Nosrat is our guide, such a funny, smart chef.
Man in an Orange Shirt
Two gay love stories, 60 years apart, in the same family.
Of course, you can find every single MDK Lazy Sunday recommendation right here. Fair warning: there are 143 suggestions for binges, documentaries, music, dramas, the entirely separate category of British dramas, and at least one lukewarm recommendation. (Hint: it’s a crime drama called Safe. Even being a British crime drama doesn’t rescue it from being not great.)
Love,
Ann
Unfortunately there are others who use the Bible as their basis for spreading hate and discrimination in this country and the world.
Sometimes we all need a little reminder.
Whoa. That’s a big assumption about Kay and Anne, love. Take a deep breath and don’t stress so much. The point of the recommendation is that we all forget sometimes to look through another’s lens. Also as near as I can tell there have been far more reminders of MDKs favorite Brit costume dramas than this commercial. At any rate, peace to you and yours!
You are sooooo free to unsubscribe. Judge not………
How is recommending this video an accusation of racism? It’s showing a part of the African-American experience through one man’s eyes— an experience which I’ve heard about from friends, but which I haven’t experienced because I’m white. It’s an education, not an accusation.
Oh you two have really been able to recommend things that look really amazing to me. I am very picky about watching shows. Thanks!
I was glad to see a reminder about The Look. For some reason, even though I know it’s been here (this is a recap of previous columns), I haven’t yet watched. So, thanks Ann!
I am somewhat curious that you are assuming everyone here has a bible. Not everyone here is a Christian; perhaps many are not. There is much diversity in religious and spiritual beliefs.
I think it doesn’t hurt to have a reminder. After arriving too early for a haircut last week, I was subjected to a political conversation that was particularly vicious in nature. The main complainer admitted that she never watches the news or reads a newspaper but she had plenty of nasty things to say. On her way out she had to schedule her next appt. around the bible study that she would be attending. I hope she learns something from it.
I’m a practicing Catholic, and I really liked what Pete Buttegieg said about how Christians spend so much time on things Jesus never said, and so little time on what He actually said.
