Gradually the dark bar on the horizon became clear as if the sediment in an old wine-bottle had sunk and left the glass green. The wave paused, and then drew out again, sighing like a sleeper whose breath comes and goes unconsciously.
Gradually as the sky whitened a dark line lay on the horizon dividing the sea from the sky and the grey cloth became barred with thick strokes moving, one after another, beneath the surface, following each other, pursuing each other, perpetually.Īs they neared the shore each bar rose, heaped itself, broke and swept a thin veil of white water across the sand.
The sea was indistinguishable from the sky, except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrinkles in it.

It is the writer’s most experimental novel, being structured in the form of soliloquies of the six protagonists of the story The Waves by Virginia Woolf It’s no mistake that the look of her show had that energy - “Barefoot Contessa” was and still is produced by Pacific, the same production company that shot Lawson’s first seasons of “Nigella Bites” (and “Pioneer Woman,” Ree Drummond’s life-on-the-range cooking show).The Waves is a novel by Virginia Woolf, first published in 1931. She treated cooking as if it were an interpretive dance to be done with abandon. Garten had a warming, energetic approach similar to Lawson’s - tossing eggshells from across the kitchen into her sink and measuring ingredients in a slap-dash way that made a mess of her countertop. On our side of the pond, the only show that held a candle to what the Brits were putting out was Ina Garten on her Food Network show “Barefoot Contessa.” The first season premiered in late 2002. The show chronicled them making extremely British fare larded with butter and cream, its appeal heightened by the fact that two women who seemed like the most fun aunts anyone could hope for were making it while they smoked and drank brown liquor on the rocks.
NEEDLES SLAPDASH TWITCH SERIES
Of course, one can’t mention British cooking shows without honoring probably the best there ever was, “ Two Fat Ladies.” The ladies - Clarissa Dickson Wright and Jennifer Paterson - hosted a cooking series for BBC2 that ran for four seasons, from 1996 until Paterson’s death in 1999. Watching their videos, which once felt like an occasional respite, has for me turned into a necessary drug to get through each day, Lawson’s voice sends me into a Vicodin-like stupor, her calm inflection immediately shutting off the valve of anxiety that seems to perpetually pump into my chest - and the twitch above my right eye. Both talents - young and energetic, zipping around their kitchens grabbing ingredients and pans - had infectious personalities, untarnished and uninhibited by what they should be making or the camera or how they should be acting. Shaky cameras zoomed in and out, catching the hosts at odd angles meant to, I assume, evoke the vantage of a guest they were teaching. These shows - specifically Nigella Lawson’s “ Nigella Bites,” which ran for two seasons in 20, and Jamie Oliver’s “ The Naked Chef,” which ran from 1999 through 2001 - were, at their time, cutting-edge.
NEEDLES SLAPDASH TWITCH TV
It’s this exhaustion from cooking 24/7 that has drawn me not to the reality TV shows and horror movies I watched before the quarantine but to pre-9/11 cooking shows. Right now, there’s nothing much more calming than watching someone else prepare a delicious meal in front of you, especially when it seems like cooking and washing dishes are all any of us ever do anymore.
