Farm to boots! We devour the legacy of San Francisco heroine/grandmother of the farm to table movement—Alice Waters—by reading her daughter's book, "Always Home" by Fanny Singer. From being the most precocious little French-speaking brat in the kitchen to shopping organic in Oaxaca, Utah open container laws, wine-based lower back tattoos, personal oceans, and all the tomatoes in Berkeley—this is a harrowing story of what it's like to be obsessed with your mom.

A long time ago, in an English gardenfar, far away.... we finally read Alec Guinness's delightful romp of essays "A Positively Final Appearance." A thespian of the utmost gravitas, Alec was furious that most of the world knew him only for his role as wise Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi in George Lucas' blockbuster claptrap, and now we're adding insult to injury with this episode title. Lily finally watches Star Wars. A recipe for nursing a sick dog back to health. Tony Blair, the Iraq War, Princess Diana's conversational prowess, The Duke of Windsor's temper, and lots of tea. Put a kettle on!

Come to my window! We’re back from summer vacation with legendary lesbian Melissa Etheridge’s 2001 memoir THE TRUTH IS….annnd girl does she tell the truth. From busking in Boston, getting discovered by a women’s soccer team, letting KD Lang f** her GF, and of course securing David Crosby's famous sperm, this is a steamy sapphic overshare of a book. We too open the sharing circle and talk about our first experiences at gay bars. WARNING THIS EPISODE ROCKS!
