Snacks for makers + ways to cope with gestures around w/ Andreya Nightingale & Jen Joyce, ep. 169

MP3•Episode home

Makers need snacks! We also need to take care of ourselves because if we do not, how will we take care of others? That part is so VERY important, especially right now. I popped into my kitchen to record with the WONDERFUL Chef Andreya Nightingale who shares two easy and oh-so-very delicious snacks with us. We also take the time to talk through some ways to cope with our feelings right now around that thing that just happened and some steps we can all take to ensure our community is cared for.
Chef Andreya also gives us cooking tips plus ways of intuitively cooking with what you have in your cupboard/fridge. Learning this has helped me feel more confident in the kitchen and hopefully you will too!
By the end of the episode you'll have two delicious snacks to warm your bellies and heart and keep you happy during makers meetups or long crafting sessions. Feel free to watch and craft or watch and cook along with us! Ingredients you need are listed below.
You are cared for, dear maker!
xoxo- Jen

Where to find the wonderful Chef Andreya:
Mortar Pestle Cooking
Cookie Jar Substack
Shopping / dive-into-your-cupboard list
What we're making: Seasoned nuts & Winter Squash Dip.

SO YUMMY and so simple, I promise you'll enjoy them both!
1- Nuts! Whatever you have but some options are walnuts, pecans, almonds, or cashew. (Roasted, if possible & best unsalted)
2- EVOO
3- salt
4- The spices that will bring you joy. Examples: chili powder, lime zest (or lemon or sumac), mint (fresh or dried), curry powder, Tajín (I used this and lime zest 🤤)
5- A squash! butternut, acorn, kabocha, whatever you have or can find and whatever squash makes your heart happy
6- 1-2 limes and/or lemons
7- Chili powder aka your favorite dried chili of choice Examples: cayenne, chipotle, aleppo (not the powder mixed w/ garlic, etc unless that' your favorite!)
8- Pickled ginger
9- Your favorite vessel for dip. This is reallllly versatile. I ate the dip with hearty crackers but also as a soup! 😉
Some recipes that Chef Andreya kindly shared with us that would go nicely with our snacks:
Grilled Flatbread
Focaccia
Apologies for the audio! I am always learning when in different recording spaces. :)

The world of crafting and making should be a space where everyone feels welcome and empowered. However, there are barriers—both visible and invisible—that can exclude or marginalize makers with disabilities.

Love is in the Making w/ Catherine Clark of Brooklyn General Store & Jen Joyce, Ep. 160 40:17

Hello, makers! Super excited to bring you this episode with our pal, Catherine. Just a heads up, there are parts of this episode that are a little more visual as we give a shop tour. Click to watch instead! Brooklyn General Store has been the go-to place for crafty supplies of all kinds for NYC makers since 2002. We sat down with the Queen of Union Street, BGS owner, designer, maker, event planner extraordinaire–Catherine Clark. Get to know her maker journey, the story of how Brooklyn General moved from the waiting room of Catherine’s midwifery office to the current location, how her and Aimée of La Bien Aimée became besties and more! Brooklyn General Store https://brooklyngeneral.com 128 Union St, Brooklyn, NY 11231 Brooklyn General Store is tucked away on a sweet block West of the Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill neighborhoods and North of Red Hook. This commercial block on Union Street used to be a thriving shopping block for all types of foods and goods. Brooklyn General’s home within the Old Frank’s Department Store is a throw back to that era, with its preserved floor to ceiling shelves, rolling ladders and classic old wooden floors. The vintage interior is not reproduced, just uncovered, cleaned and painted. Brooklyn General Store was created in an effort to provide the highest quality materials to a community of devoted artists and craftspeople and to promote making things by hand through inspiration and education. Not only is it a place to feast your eyes and hands on glorious colors and patterns and textures but it is a place that respects and honors a time when a trip to the country store was a way of life. It is a place where a quick trip for a yard of fabric or a skein of yarn turns into an hour of sharing, teaching, inspiring and encouraging all the amazing and creative makers that are also out for that quick trip to the General Store... Following its mission to promote all things handmade, Brooklyn General offers a wide variety of classes in knitting, sewing, quilting, felting, spinning, rug hooking and embroidery. Classes are limited in size in order for students to have ample individual attention. Studio time with our fantastic BERNINA classroom machines is also available. BrooklynGeneral.com was created to share our carefully picked goods with all the creative souls outside of Brooklyn, NY. 🌟 Support the Podcast: 🔔 Subscribe on YouTube – youtube.com/@making_co ☕ Buy me a coffee on Ko-fi – ko-fi.com/makingconversation 📢 Tell your maker friends – Spread the love!

1 year ago34:04

34:04

During Vogue Knitting Live 2024, Jen took the stage with big names in the fiber arts and maker industry to talk about how we can adapt to the ever evolving world of craft-what has changed, where the opportunity is, and advice on what to do when things are challenging. Our Panelists Jonna Hietala is the co-founder, creative director and CEO of Laine Publishing and the editor-in-chief of Laine Magazine. Jonna has worked in lifestyle and crafts magazines both in Finland and in Sweden. Before Laine, she also ran her own yarn shop. In 2021, Jonna won the prestigious Taito-Finlandia award for her groundbreaking work on handicrafts and applied arts. Jonna lives in Tampere, Finland with her two children, cats and dogs. Aimée Gille was born and raised in the United States, in Kansas, and later moved to France, where her passion for knitting was reignited. In Paris, where she now lives with her family, she first opened L’Oisive, thé a wonderful knitting café, and later La Bien Aimée. Established in 2015, La Bien Aimée is an artisanal dye studio located in Paris, France. Aimée and her team dye beautiful and sophisticated colors of yarn that reflect a unique and vibrant point of view. Her book, Worsted , was published by Laine Publishing in the fall on 2021. Her latest book Neons & Neutrals was published in March of 2022. Ashley Yousling is the founder and CEO of Making and started our podcast back in 2014. She is an award winning designer with over 15 years of experience, leading and executing product + content vision and strategy in tech and consumer industries. Her work has been featured in outlets like The New York Times, Forbes, and Fast Company. She resides in Boise with her three boys, pup, and you can always find her in her art studio. Joji Locatelli is an Argentine knitwear designer living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After studying as a physician, in 2004 she rediscovered knitting. She is a Mom of two boys, and a wife to a loving non-knitting husband. She hopes to inspire with her knitting patterns and loves draped fabrics, beautiful details, simple lines. Moderator Jen Joyce is the Head of Marketing and Podcast Host at Making. She’s been a marketing professional for the past 14 years and has worked for tech startups, hospitality, fintech, and even an agency. She lives in Seattle with her partner, her dogs, and her 21-year-old cat. Jen can always be found knitting and watching “bad” TV, enjoying lovely Seattle but also traveling as much as possible and lifting heavy weights for that extra serotonin boost.
