    Ep 7 – Antisocial Studies: Choosing Your Homeschool Social Studies Curricula
    2020/12/22
    Antisocial. It's the homeschool stereotype, right? Albeit one I don't generally find to be true, I couldn't resist a bit of humor in today's title. This episode is all about history, geography, government, civics, and all those other things we know as social studies. It's a broad field, there are so many ways to cover it! Stephanie and I talk about our own experiences learning social studies in public school, and what works for us now as a homeschooling family. The featured image for today's episode comes from the wall of the house we lived in in Bunia, D.R. Congo. There are few things I truly miss about that house, but the huge world map we hung on the living room wall is one of them. It was often a place where kids and adults alike would stand and just study out of curiosity. It was a great reminder of just how big and interesting our world is. In the episode, Stephanie mentioned the My Father's World history and geography curriculum. It's a biblically-based five year rotational series that's designed so additional kids can jump in at any particular year, and cover all five years somewhere between 3rd and 8th grade. It's also adaptable for kids who are slightly older or younger as well. It's been a great foundational course for our family. Dan Carlin's Hardcore History is a fantastic audio series that covers historical topics like the World Wars. These are really in depth episodes. While probably not appropriate for younger kids, they could be acceptable for junior highers and high schoolers. Most of the me are a few hours long, but they're not boring. We both learned quite a bit from listening to them, and our oldest daughter, Larinda, has listened to some of them as well. You can find select free episodes on iTunes or on Dan Carlin's Website with other episodes available for purchase. The Tuttle Twins series of books is awesome! They cover subjects like economics and civics from a liberty-leaning perspective. Many of the books are distilled versions of well-known treatises, but they're presented in a way that makes them fun for younger kids. There's also a series of books for teens, parent guides, audio books, and a weekly free market curriculum. Finally, Tom Woods's Liberty Classroom brings you "the history and economics they didn't teach you" in school. Like Hardcore History, this content is really geared towards adults, but it makes great material for high school students as well. You'll find broad survey courses in topics like Western Civilization and US History, but there are some more provocative courses as well. This episode is coming out a couple days before Christmas, but maybe after going through "How Alexander Hamilton Screwed Up America," What’s Wrong with Textbook Economics," or "The 10 Worst and 10 Best Presidents" along with "Intro to Logic," your high school student will be ready to sow discord at next year's family gatherings!

  • Ep 6 – Turkey Time on the Homestead

    Ep 6 – Turkey Time on the Homestead
    2020/11/24
    Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and what better time to talk about turkey! In this episode, we walk through raising and butchering turkeys, but we don't stop there. If you're not interested in raising turkeys, or butchering them yourself, fear not--we also spend some time talking about preparing the bird for your dinner table! Below are the recipes we discussed in the episode for oven roasted turkey, Owen's highly acclaimed turkey gravy, and Stephanie's turkey soup. So far this year we have butchered four of our turkeys, all of them the big white broad-breasted ones. The one in the picture was the biggest at 29 lbs...but "Puffy," who we will our Thanksgiving turkey is even bigger. I have no doubts he will be well over 30 lbs dressed! Omri with his biggest (so far) turkey! During the butchering portion of the episode, Stephanie mentioned that we used a laundry basket with a hole it it for a "killing cone" to suspend and contain the bird while we dispatched it. This was an OK solution, but I think next time I will choose something with solid sides, so that the turkey's talons don't get caught in the holes. I'm not sure whether it will be a little on the big side when the time comes to butcher a couple of the Narragansets. The 60-qt pot from Bass Pro Shops we used for scalding the birds before plucking, on the other hand, was excellent! If you do any brewing, I think the spigot on the front would come in particularly handy as well. Our makeshift turkey killing cone made from a soft-side laundry basket Be sure to check out Our Favorite Thanksgiving Turkey Recipes for written directions on how to prepare roast turkey, gravy, and turkey soup! While you're at it, check out Dave Cooks the Turkey, the short story Stephanie mentioned in the episode. It's worth some laughs while you're working on dinner. As mentioned in the episode, my (Owen) mother passed away the night after Thanksgiving when I was in 3rd grade. I know there's a lot of drama, concern, and restrictions out there right now due to COVID-19. Lots of people are saying to wait until next year. Just stay home. However, not everyone has until next year, so you make the decision that's right for you, and your family. Whatever you decide, we hope you have a lot to be thankful for despite all the craziness 2020 has shown us.

  • Ep 5 – Fall Project Montage

    Ep 5 – Fall Project Montage
    2020/11/11
    Winter is coming! That means we've been busy scrambling to complete a bunch of fall projects. It's been busy the last few weeks, and it's taken awhile to get this episode published. From butchering goats, roosters, and turkeys, to building new feeders and waters, and fencing over the poultry run, there's been no shortage of things to do. It hasn't been all work and no play though. As we mention in the episode, we took some time to do a bonfire with friends, and camp out with the kids. At temps in the low fifties, I was about at the limit for my summer bag, and really would have preferred my winter bag, but oh well. We had fun anyway! The goat chow mein Stephanie made was fantastic! The kids all loved it. She used this Spicy Lamb Chowmein recipe from Alicia's Pepperpot, with a few tweaks. Obviously substituting goat for lamb was one of them, but she also used rice noodles in place of chow mein noodles. We really like goat, and I imagine we'll be adding them to the homestead at some point in the future. What are you doing to get ready for winter? Drink of the episode: Starlight Single Barrel Huber's Rickhouse Select Indiana Straight Bourbon. We got to go to the Starlight Distillery and help select the barrel for one of the local whiskey groups we belong to. This particular barrel was reminiscent of cinnamon rolls. If you're ever in southern Indiana, it's worth a visit.
