Playlist For Sunday, June 20, 2021: Raggle Taggle, Indeed!

I wanted to call this coming Sunday's 2 On The Aisle...The Kitchen Sink Edition. But I sort of got to thinking about what that actually means. So I checked in with good old Meriam-Webster to see what he/she/they/it thought of it:

 

 

This must be Meriam. Or perhaps Webster.

 

 Kitchen Sink:

     1.) being or made up of a hodgepodge of disparate elements or ingredients

     2.) chiefly British : portraying or emphasizing the squalid aspects of modern life, the kitchen-sink realism of contemporary British drama

 

Synonyms: eclectic, magpie, motley, piebald (?), promiscuous (!), patchwork, and raggle-taggle (I love that!) 

 

So I'm leaning toward definition Number 1, and will try not to raggle-taggle with the squalid aspects of Number 2. I mean, it's true that on a bad day, my sink is overwhelmed with 1.) different sorts of pots/pans/gravyboats/cookiesheets and they are 2.) all "dirty!" BUT as far as magpie and piebald, look elsewhere!

 

I can multi-task with the best of them,

but dishes??

 

 

Like one's fridge. A much more eclectic bunch of kale in there. In fact, that brings to mind a "quiz" I took in the NYTimes recently, where this gentle reader was asked to judge whether a peak inside people's refrigerators could tell you if they were Biden OR Trump supporters. I got it right 60% of the time. Pretty much a crap shoot for everyone who took it, evidently. Country Crock was not a dead give away.

                                                            

 

 

One morsel of our Sunday hodgepodge will include Sherry!, below, the musical version of the Sherry, above! Monty Woolley, of course, as Sheridan Whiteside

                                      in The Man Who Came To Dinner.

 

 

 

So call this the Kitchen Sink OR the FrigidAire Edition. What's on the playlist so Motley? Summer, Summer HEAT, Sherry!, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Tea...and a soupcon of Dad Songs (it IS Father's Day this Sunday, you ninny. Buy him a tie, for lord's sake!). See? Piebald, thy name is Broadway! Tune in, and do some of my metaphorical dishes.  xo
