 We became homesteaders three years ago when we moved to our new home on a little over three acres. But, we were learning and practicing homesteading skills long before that. This podcast is about all kinds of homesteaders, and farmers, and bakers - what they do and why they do it. I’ll be interviewing people from all walks of life, different ages and stages, about their passion for doing old fashioned things in a newfangled way. https://buymeacoffee.com/lewismaryesCopyright 2023 All rights reserved. マネジメント・リーダーシップ リーダーシップ 社会科学 経済学

How are you today? I'm good. Sorry about the technical difficulties logging in. I'm going to be emailing Riverside tomorrow and being like, what is up guys? Cause it's not working very well for my guests. No problem. We figured it out. So we're good. Yes. So my 00:51 I usually I say how's the weather, but I'm in Minnesota too. So we know the weather has been kind of rainy, kind of sunny, kind of cloudy, and we never know what we're going to get. So, Okay. So you are a Czech baker and I need you to tell me how you pronounce K O L A C H Y or E or whatever it is. So Koláč would be a traditional size that we have in Czech Republic. And that would be one item, just one. 01:20 Kolache would be multiple. And then here in Minnesota, they do use Kolache keys. So they add the S at the end to make it multiple. But if you say Kolache key, that would be multiple already. And single would be Kolache. And that is just a smaller version from the regular Kolache word. Okay. And that particular pastry we're talking about is the one that... 01:46 that's flat on the bottom, but the corners are folded in and it has like a jam or jelly in the middle. Is that right? You know, we're going to be hearing a lot of people about this because I was born and raised in the Czech Republic. Koláč comes from words, kolá, which means round. So in Czech Republic, if you ask for koláč, you're going to get a round circle item with the filling on the top and open face. And that's the ones I make. And then the ones here in Minnesota, they do 02:16 put in the two corners or sometimes they just do two of the sides, kind of wrap them over and kind of hide the filling a little bit. So we make those in Europe as well. We don't call them kolache. We have different names on a different presentations. It's the same dough, same filling, just a different presentation and gives you a different name. But in Czech Republic, if you ask for kolache, you're going to get a round thing with open face. Okay. 02:41 See, this is why I love talking to you people on the podcast because I learned things I didn't know. My husband and I were at a friend's house last year or the year before and the male of the couple was telling me that it's Kalachi and I've heard it called Kalaki, like Kalaki days in I think Montgomery. Kalachi days in Montgomery, yeah. Yeah, and for the longest time, I'm like number one, I don't know how to pronounce it correctly. 03:10 And number two, I don't care, they're yummy. arose by any other name would smell as sweet. And I suppose that whatever this pastry we're discussing is called, it tastes just as good. Yep, I would think so. mean, know, different names, but different views or different looks, but the same dough, same kind of filling, of course, depends, you know, if you get it from commercial store, if you made it from homemade, but yeah, whatever they're called, they are delicious. You're right. 03:39 Uh huh. love the pastry dough. is so good. And I'm not even a bread girl. Like I don't love bread, but these things are amazing. Okay. Thank you for sort of straightening that out for me because I figured you would know the correct answer. And where in Czech Republic are you from? I was born and raised in Ostrava, which is the East North side. I lived about, I don't know, have 20, 30 minutes to Poland and then about 04:08 30 to 45 minutes to Slovakia. So we're kind of up in that corner and all of those three cultures kind of, know, interlope in there for us as far as food goes. So we'll get a little bit of everything. And when did you come to America? I have been here since 1998. Oh, wow. OK. So how old were you when you came over? I was 19. So I've been here longer than my original start of life in Czech Republic. 04:36 Was that hard for you? mean, this is not a geography podcast, but was that hard for you? Was it a real culture shock? Not at all. mean, you I grew up with one brother and a mom, kind of. She was married for a while, but we never really...

You can find them at homegrowncollective.org. Today I'm talking with Christi. 00:27 at Tee's Kitchen in Louisiana. And Christi was a guest on my podcast back, I think, in March. And it was cold and snowy and gross, and we're rolling into summer. So Christi and I are going to talk about some less hot, cooler summer dishes that we can maybe introduce people to so they can make their electric bill go down. Good morning, Christi. How are you? Good morning. I'm great. I'm so excited to be back on. I had so much fun. had 00:56 Such a great conversation the last time. We did and I listened to it this morning because I was like, what exactly did we talk about? And I was like, oh my God, I still love this lady. She's fantastic. Oh, I feel the same way about you. Thank you. Good. I just I make so many new friends who I probably will never meet through the podcast. And my husband says, so what new friend did you make today? love that. I'm like, oh, well, do you really want to know? And he's like, 01:25 Kind of? And I give him the short version. He's like, I'm so glad that you have people that you get to talk with all over the place. He said, because you need that. I'm like, I do. I really do need that. So it's wonderful. you're in Louisiana. We're rolling into summer. We're not quite there yet, according to the calendar, but it's literally a week or so away. And we've had some really hot days so far here this spring in Minnesota. I'm guessing Louisiana hasn't been any different. 01:55 Louisiana has been really, really hot. We're approaching 100 degrees here and it's just, the humidity is insane. So it's pretty hot here. So it's summer here as far as I'm concerned. Okay. So how do you combat that when it comes to feeding your family? I have lots of ideas, but I want to hear yours first. Well, we, you know, we, we try to grill outside, but then again, it's very hot. We always have to have a fan going. 02:25 Um, so I try to do meals that I don't have to use my oven as much, or if I have to use my oven, it's like a shorter period of time. Um, because it just, it gets really, really hot in my house. We do a lot of like, uh, rice cooker meals. do, uh, one pan sheet pan meals. Sometimes I use my air fryer, but I don't like to use it for, it's not big enough for the whole family. Um, yeah, we grill just simple quick meals, I would say. 02:55 Okay, well, let's back up just a titch. The first thing I would tell anybody right now in the climate that we're all living in, meaning weather and government, is if you don't know how to cook, it's a really good idea to start learning how to cook. It's also a really good idea to start maybe learning how to grow something, even if it's just herbs in a pot beside your doorstep, because 03:24 I am, I don't want to talk politics, I do not, but we're in a kind of iffy, bouncy, chaotic world right now. And one of the things that makes me sane is that I know how to cook and I have a garden. So cooking is not hard. I swear to God, people, it's not. It's time and intention. And you don't have to start out making a gourmet meal. can. 03:50 You can make a grilled cheese sandwich with two slices of bread, some butter and some cheese you love. And it's super easy. And then once you get that accomplished, you can make scrambled eggs and you can boil eggs for egg salad sandwiches. There are really simple things that you can do to start the steps to learning to cook. And I don't, I don't want to like force this down people's throats, but 04:17 but cooking is such a vital skill for everybody to learn. Secondly, one of the things that we do around here is we do a lot of salads, like just lettuce, sweet peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, know, that kind of stuff, because it's cold food on a hot day. And you can throw some shredded chicken or some ham that's been sliced up or 04:47 If you're into steak, you can take steak that you've already cooked from dinner the night before, slice it really thin and put that on your salad if you want meat in your salad. Yes, absolutely. Yeah, we try to do a lot of that to my husband. I will be honest, gardening is not one of my strong suits, but I can ...

Well, it was real beautiful and now we're raining, which we need for the gardens. I'm pretty happy. Good. Good, good, good. I've got everything crossed that the weather is not as insane. 00:55 this season as it was last season, because we had rain for six weeks straight in spring and our garden was terrible. So, and I've talked about ad nauseam on the podcast because it just drove us insane last year. bet. Yeah, we've had a turbulent spring, more tornadoes than any other season. I think in history or something, it's been a rough spring and now it's kind of calming down. So it's pretty nice. 01:22 Fabulous. I wish you all the luck with all the things you're trying to grow because man It will break your heart when you put all that work into it and it just doesn't go Yep, and if you get hail and we do get hail so We get little we get little pea-sized hail. I'm really hoping that I never see golf ball size I really don't need to that. No, I we don't like to see it at all, but it does happen here. So Good 01:52 Okay, well, tell me about yourself and what you do at 60 Acre Woods. Wood. Wood. Wood or woods? wood. Acre Wood. Okay. Well, my late husband and I had a dream to be self-sufficient. We have six children and five grandchildren, and we wanted to not be off-grid 100%, but more self-sufficient. Just raising our own food, staying away from the grocery store. 02:19 And when he passed away, I said, you know, I'm going to make this dream happen. And I moved to Arkansas, bought a farm site on scene, never even been to Arkansas, which is crazy. And started building this farm that was in the end of 2019. I closed on the farm in the beginning of 2020 and been doing it pretty much ever since. We do a lot here. 02:47 We have a lot of animals for food and we have a lot of pets and we homeschool and it's, it's, it's a busy life and it's really rewarding and we love it. We love being that. We love that self-sufficiency. We're at about 65 to 70 % of our food comes from our farm now. And for us, that's Number one. 03:14 Congratulations on being a strong, capable woman. Proud of you. Thank you. Number two, that much food grown on your own property is amazing. That is astounding. It's huge. It really is huge for us. Yeah. And are you still a single mom? I am not. I remarried a wonderful man who thinks I'm crazy, but lets me buy goats. So keep him. 03:43 I'm going to keep him. Yeah. I would love to have goats and I've talked about this ad nauseam on the podcast too. We don't really have the room because we don't really have anywhere for them to eat, to graze. And I'm sure you've noticed that feed prices for every animal known to man have gone up in the last year or two. So we just visit goats. don't have any here. 04:11 Well, you know, our goal also is to start growing food for them. are not right now, but we have a goal to. the thing, goats have been our hardest animal so far. Believe it or not, we have, we have cows with pigs, we have chickens, donkeys, horses. If you name it, we've probably got it on this farm, but the goats have been very, very hard because there's a large parasite load in Arkansas. We've had a lot of problems with the, with the goats, but milk is 04:40 Cheese butter. I love them. They're fun Most of all they're But they're hard to grow hard to grow here so what's the what's the pesticide load not pesticide, um, what's the What's the problem?
