Spring, in many traditions, carries the sobering name of “The Starving Time” or words to that effect. Here we are at the time of year when the winter food stores are all but exhausted (if not literally used up) but the planting, just started, hasn’t produced any edibles yet.
As it happens, while today we will eat a more traditional Easter meal in our homestead, it will feature leftover vegetable soup from last night.

Earlier this week I posted the April episode of A Place at the Table, the monthly family roundtable discussion we record and distribute to our Patreon patrons.
Our Patreon page, where our patrons can go to download A Place at the Table and more (screenshot).
We’re pretty happy about this month’s episode. We discussed Aly’s homeschooling experience and analyzed it from the luxurious position of hindsight. We reviewed the history of it, sought her opinion and feelings on the process, and assessed the outcome.
