Well, it all just came pouring out. We’re sorry/not sorry. We’ve hit our boiling point and it’s all just overflowing. Wasted food, homesteader guilt, and Shaye rages over approval to take a walk with your child? In this episode we’re channeling our inner revolutionaries, eating our leather loafers and Ang explains why she never watched the Bachelor.

A percale weave which is a traditional one-yarn-over and one-yarn-under results in a very structurally sound, long wearing fabric that is resistant to pilling. It has a crisp, yet soft, feel and allows more air to pass through it, providing a ‘cool' sleep on warm nights and a ‘warm' sleep on cool nights. This is the same weave used in most luxury hotel bedding and the quality heirloom sheets your grandparents used.
Tuck into a delicious loaf of bread: Order your Jovial Einkorn Flour at jovialfoods.comIn 2008, Carla and Rodolfo teamed up with an organic farmer just a few minutes from their home in Northern Italy, to grow the first 50 acres of einkorn wheat. Einkorn was new to them and farmer Stefano, and they were both worried and delighted to see how differently it grew. Einkorn yields a fifth of modern wheat and reaches above 5 feet tall by the harvest in late July.
A decade has passed and the same farmers are still growing einkorn for Carla and Rodolfo. All of our farms are located in remote, pristine areas, and have ample land to adhere to a five-year rotation plan with forage and legumes. One of the most beautiful and largest farms where our einkorn always grows is located in Tuscany, outside of Siena.

Half way through this episode and yes, yes, YES! Skirts for gardening! One of my goals in life it to prove that skirts and dresses do not have to be fancy. Midi length and maxi length linen or linen blend skirts are so perfect for working in. And you should try to sew one! I sew about 70% of my wardrobe, everything from basic tees and skirts to jeans and heavy winter coats and nothing is more satisfying. It is a powerful thing to go out into the world clothed in a garment that you put love and thought into. I firmly believe that fiber is every bit as much an artistic medium as paint or clay, and made even more personal because the art created in the line, color, and texture of a garment is how you express your self to the world. Love the podcast Ladies, you are bringing light in my home in these trying times! PS. DO you need one more reason to sew yourself a skirt? Three words, total pocket control! Made them as big and deep as you want!
Here’s a shout-out to my fellow midwesterner-across-the-lake for surviving another frustrating almost-spring!!! My name is Carrie (not Karen) and I’ve enjoyed listening to all of your podcasts, especially when y’all debated about fashion rules (very funny, and thought-provoking), and I even liked this episode about the virus. Working in elderly patients in healthcare, my feelings flip-flop too. (Like, seriously, I can’t use a pit toilet at the state park??) Meanwhile, like the two of you, I learned from 2008 and will continue my journey toward being more self-sufficient, because it feels good :). Keep up the great work ladies!!!
I loved you before and I love you two even more now. Please, keep it up. You are talking about liberties, freedom and families + communities being self sufficient. You have a platform to reach people like us. Good people who NEED direction. Anyway. My phone is telling me this is your latest podcast…you mentioned April…pretty sure I am BEHIND the times. Anyway. Thanks and cheers from a fellow *cross out wine and add gin* drinker –
Fight the power!
I’m just now listening, and honestly, so nice hear others speaking truth. All these rules are arbitrary, and just because we have a bunch of our appendages tied, doesn’t mean we should give up the last free one!
