Desperation Dinners

Desperation Dinners

Cooking at home is generally cheaper, healthier, and better for the planet than relying on takeout and meal subscriptions. Still, our busy lives crave convenience: cooking, then, is a self-sufficient skill our culture is in danger of losing.

Today I speak with blogger Rachael McKennon about cooking at home and cooking from scratch. Rachael understands that feeding a family is hard work, so she’s here to offer her best tips, tricks, and hacks to take the overwhelm out of the task.

 

Here’s a preview:

[6:30] Convenience versus whole foods: The benefits of home cooked meals

[11:00] How to fully stock your pantry before cooking a single thing

[15:00] Kitchen appliances that are actually worth the money (and ones that aren’t)

[21:00] 4 desperation dinners for those nights when you’re hangry and unprepared

Lights Out

Fossil fuels power our modern lives, and yet fossil fuels are also powering global warming. Because many of us lack the self-sufficient skills necessary to survive an extended power outage event, we are one thing and one thing only: vulnerable.

We have become over-reliant on the very thing that's destroying our planet. On today's show: Imagining the ways in which modern life, interpersonal connections, well-being and more would change in a hypothetical, fossil fuel-free world.

 

Here's a preview:

[6:00] We are so reliant on electricity that we are incapacitated without it. This is a problem!

[11:00] In the event of a 2-weeks plus outage, modernity would look a lot different

[24:00] Is minimalism late stage capitalism personified?

[28:00] Without fossil fuels, we'd be circular

[30:00] What research says with regard to the wellness benefits of working with our hands
