Updates! the Starter Project; The School for Housewives; the Link to my CO Talk!
I hope you are starting your starter!
In my last newsletter, I tried to lay out all the steps to make a no-discard starter, very easily. I'm posting today to update on a few things!
I have corrected some steps since publishing, so please refresh if you just have a tab open!
I entered a few things in our local, very popular fair and won three ribbons, including first place for my sourdough loaf!
I confess I was not sanguine, as the other entries looked mighty good!
I also decided to put the steps for the starter one-by-one on a new Substack publication that I'm calling The School for Housewives.
I am hoping this new site can be for those who are already convinced about learning to keep a home being a worthy goal and just want to know how to do it. So it will be short and sweet, hopefully delivering a housewifely thought or direction each day of the week to subscribers' inboxes, starting with breadmaking but eventually including all things homemaking.
Here on LMLD of course we will keep up our chitchat about everything!
The School will also be good for girls, I'm thinking. So if you have some girls and young women who would love to have a tutorial delivered to them often on how to do some aspect of housekeeping, please help them sign up! It will also be very easy to print out, as the posts won't be long. (Maybe I can make each one into a PDF… and I also have plans for an audio, if not video, version). Let me know your thoughts on all that!
My plan is to have a chat over there that is for subscribers only — it will be focused on the practical aspects of whatever we are discussing — sourdough starter for a good long time! I have made the subscription as low as Substack will allow me to, and certainly one could subscribe for one month and then unsubscribe. I think $5 is reasonable to get some in-depth info on whatever is going on with the topic at hand!
For now it's all free and of course I'll continue to answer questions in the comments here and over there. I think, though, that the chat can be more in-depth.
I just wanted to be sure you aren't looking at an older version of the steps! Keep refreshing because I'm sure I'll be able to correct and make more clear all the steps as I post them over at the Substack!
Also — I didn't post links on Saturday, so I didn't have a chance to give you the link to the talks at the Women's Tradition Conference in Littleton CO from a couple of weeks ago. Here it is!
Restore Tradition 2024 Speakers
I especially recommend the one from Peter Kwasniewski — he and I focused on beauty and I actually think our talks went well together. I hope you will like mine too! All the talks were great.
Did you also know that the Chief and I have a podcast? Look below for all the ways you can follow and support us:
Here is my affiliate link to my Amazon page — the only affiliate thing that goes on here on LMLD, which is why the page loads quickly and you don’t have to keep closing pop-ups etc! Thank you for opening it and shopping if you are so minded — as some have asked me. If not, don’t worry one bit!
My book, The Summa Domestica: Order and Wonder in Family Life is available from Sophia Press! Also in paperback now! All the thoughts from this blog collected into three volumes, beautifully presented with illustrations from Deirdre, an index in each volume, and ribbons!
My “random thoughts no pictures” blog, Happy Despite Them has moved over to Substack! — receive it by email if you like, or bookmark, so you don’t miss a thing! The old one is still up if you want to look at the comments on past posts. It will take me a while to get things organized, but you'll be patient, I know!
There you will find the weekly podcast done by Phil and me, called On the Home Front. Do let us know what you think!
Visit me at The School for Housewives and recommend it to your young friends!
My podcast, The Home Truths Society, can be found on the Restoration of Christian Culture website (and you can find it where you listen to such things) — be sure to check out the other offerings there!
