Book description
Mere nostalgia for a so-called вЂњsimpler timeвЂќ is not enough reason for me to do anything; I have to know there is some modern benefit, something to justify its practice in the here and now. The author of Made From Scratch does an excellent job not only convincing me of this, but stoking my excitement for it. Of 11 chapters, I loved 6:Chickens. Eggs arenвЂ™t that expensive -they might be some of the cheapest sources of protein available- so why raise your own chickens? First, by doing so youвЂ™ll know exactly how theyвЂ™ve been treated instead of wondering by what loophole вЂњfree rangeвЂќ came to be stamped on the egg cartons at the grocery store. Second, fresh eggs (CookвЂ™s Illustrated and a number of other authorities assert) really do taste better. Third, getting eggs out of your own backyard is a nice way to bypass the whole contrived вЂњeat organic vs. eat localвЂќ debate. Fourth, chickens will eat the slugs and other pests harassing your vegetable and herb garden (also a boon for the garden: chicken waste, which contains much-needed nitrogen for the compost heap). The one glitch seems to be getting your hands on chickens humanely. She gets chickens through the mail, first two-day-old chicks who arrive in a box вЂњparched and starvedвЂќ and later pullets (chickens just a few weeks away from laying their first eggs) who arrive with clipped beaks.Grow Your Own Meal. The food at the grocery store is a mystery. You donвЂ™t know how it was grown, how far it was trucked, how long ago it was picked, who picked it, or what they were paid. ItвЂ™s coated in wax and dyes. ItвЂ™s oversized, dry, and flavorless. ItвЂ™s grown for shelf life rather than taste. Not only does growing your own food cut all that out of the equation, it gives your kitchen scraps new purpose as compost.Beekeeping. Honey! Wax! Support for the gardenвЂ™s ecosystem! Too bad Im probably actually too afraid to try this one.Old Stuff. вЂњThere are a lot of really good reasons I run to the past when I need something as utilitarian as a cheese grater: things were made better, looked prettier, and lasted longer before plastic took over. Buying from a neighborhood secondhand shop helps support the local economy and is a kind of recycling.вЂќ -p. 78DIY Wardrobe. There are two things that excite me about this chapter. First is simply the fact that I hate shopping for clothes; 10 minutes in a dressing room and I seriously ponder following the example of the woman who made a single brown dress and wore it for a year. My body type (like anyone elseвЂ™s) only seems to be вЂњin styleвЂќ once a decade, if that. Things donвЂ™t look on me the way they look on the hanger/mannequin. I know IвЂ™m not the only one to have a great skirt hanging in the back of the closet for lack of the right shirt to go with it. I canвЂ™t count on living to see the type of clothes I like (1930вЂ™s, 1940вЂ™s) being manufactured ever. Second is just enthusiasm for the idea that it is possible to REALLY make stuff with my own hands. вЂњMost of us never even consider that something like a pair of jeans could actually be made without an assembly line behind it.вЂќ -p. 90 It seems widely regarded that any homemade item is sure to be inferior, unsafe, or even flat out impossible. I think this is reinforced by вЂњcraftвЂќ stores like MichaelвЂ™s where to make paper, soap, candles, or chocolate you must first buy ... paper, soap, wax, and chocolate, merely shredding or melting it down and bringing it back together in a new shape. Even as a kid I thought that was pretty lame -and quite the letdown for someone high on reading Anne of Green Gables and the Laura Ingers Wilder books.Research, Son. Seventeen pages of memoirs, how-to books, and websites that pertain to the topics discussed in the book.The other five chapters are: The Country Kitchen, Working House Dogs, Angora Rabbits: Portable Livestock, Homemade Mountain Music, Outside The Farm, and Want More? (I especially wanted more out of The Country Kitchen chapter; its kind of just lifestyle porn regarding hand-ground coffee beans and home made bread. Maybe an attempt at cheese-making gone awry?)Whether your interest in the DIY scene began with knitting a scarf and now youre looking for more, you crave the comfort of control that only self-sufficiency can provide in turbulent times, or you feel like there is nothing to do with your free time anymore but shop, this book is worth a look.And definitely check out her blog: http://coldantlerfarm.blogspot.com/------------------------------------------I would give the book five stars but for two things: 1. the occasional cliche-riddled description of rich, authentic, simple, soul-satisfying farm life that reads like it was lifted off a Cracker Barrel billboard. 2. theres a bit of a disconnect between the preface and the rest of the book. In the preface, she stresses that you dont need a barn or a border collie or to live someplace where reckon is part of the local vernacular to embrace simplicity and self-sufficiency. She says that kind of prerequisite excludes a lot of people and that she does many of the things archetypal homesteaders do and she doesnt even have a backyard. So after that opening, Im not sure why the rest of the book takes place on Idaho farms with plodding cows and perfect sunsets or why she adopted a writing style that dumps copious amounts of heck and folks all over everything.**When I read this book in December 2008, though I enjoyed it, I was mildly disappointed that it was not (I thought) as useful to my situation as the preface had led me to believe. But six months later, as Ive returned to this topic and started reading more about gardening, beekeeping, and chicken raising, I am amazed at how much I recognize, how much I already know that I didnt even realize I knew -about raised beds, queen bees, pullets- all from reading her stories. And I think a lot of that comes because she chose to share her difficulties and failures (by far the best parts of the book). As Michael Pollan says in Second Nature ...his failures have more to say to him -about his soil, the weather, the predilections of local pests, the character of his land. The gardener learns nothing when his carrots thrive, unless that success is won against a background of prior disappointment. Outright success is dumb, disaster frequently eloquent. (p. 121)Two more things she said that have come back again and again:1. Homesteading is about small steps. Be happy with what you can do today. This helps me not spoil my own excitement over everything Im growing on my balcony with wishing I could fit a clothesline, rain barrel, composter, solar panel, mini-windmill, three chickens, and a pygmy goat, too.2. Have a mentor. Reading is useful of course and a reference library will earn its shelf space, but also having someone from whom to learn is invaluable; they can show you with their hands when the books diagrams arent yielding their secrets and answer questions omitted by the index. I shouldve figured this out from giving up on both sewing and knitting after trying to learn solely from books, but it took her saying as much to get me moving on at least finding sewing and gardening classes. For canning, I may try finding someone through craigslist.
