Our common nature is a musical journey with Yo-Yo Ma and me, Ana Gonzalez, through this complicated country.

We go into caves, onto boats, and up mountain trails to meet people, hear their stories, their poetry, and of course, play some music, all to reconnect to nature and get closer to the things we're missing.

Listen to Our Common Nature from WNYC, wherever you get podcasts.

It's Lynn Rosetta-Cter-Castor, and this is the splendid table.

Thank you. Rosetta-Casper, and this is the splendid table. I hadn't thought about the word resourceful for a long time until I was reading British

food writer Tamison Day Lewis's cookbook. The subtitle is something about good food for resourceful

cooks. Aren't you fed up with hearing about being frugal? I mean, it feels so grim. It feels like

you're being put into shackles. Resourceful, on the other hand, is something to be proud of. It means

you're smart, you're clever, and you're not

bowing your head. Resourceful is looking at some stale bread, some eggs, a bit of milk, a

clutch of limp vegetables, and seeing a great bread pudding for supper. So today, it's all kinds

of resourcefulness, this hour on The Splendid Table.

Hi, it's Lynn Rosetta, Casper, and you're listening to The Splendid Table, the show for people who love to eat.

Our program is produced by American Public Media.

Today we're looking at resourcefulness of all kinds, from all kinds of places.

British food writer Tamazin-day Lewis has a rather militant stand on how and why to cook at home.

There's an adoring newlywwed sourcing breakfast for his bride.

We hear the story of how one woman's loss of smell changed everything and taste being the least of it.

And we even take a look at the most resourceful trend of all, indoor composting.

And of course, we're going to be talking with you.

So lots more is coming your way this hour.

You know, there's that moment between couples when that first flush of married love is going full tilt.
