Check Please! #10 Holiness, Mormon Casserole, & a Chat with Audrey (@foldyrhands) Robinovitz (Oct. 8, 2024)
Description
It’s a beautiful Tuesday to assess your relationship with god!
The theme for this episode of Check Please! was the word “holy,” and it sparked memories of cocktail weenies in coulis, cornflake casserole and the time my dad broke a $50 in the offering basket. It led us to revisit Bible verses featuring culinary anomalies, and analyze movies like First Reformed (2017) and Mermaids (1990) with heavy evangelical overtones.
We also sat down with Audrey Robinovitz, the artist, writer, fragrance expert and recent Catholic convert about her relationship with religion, navigating the murky waters of ironic Catholicism online, and her favorite perfumes featuring notes like lilies, church incense and beeswax.
