December-ish

You know those meme lists that circulate thru your feeds around the new years?

It used to be — back when I wrote a more scattered, personal blog — that I sat down during December and meticulously wrote an annual retrospective as a single end-of-the-year list post of answers to be published as one massive read on December 31st.

I’m assuming, but I think few if any of my readers want something like that here.

Yet, there is comfort in tradition and purpose in pattern. So to kick of a similar tradition on The Cast Iron Guy blog, I’ve turned December into a collection of daily themed posts on a similar, year-ending wrap up set of topics. One topic per day, sometimes personal, sometimes on theme, sometimes completely out of the blue.

Thirty one topics. Thirty one posts. Not exactly a list, but close.

If (and when) the years press on, hopefully December becomes a collection of closing out the year in style posts and an interesting kick off to the upcoming new year. If not, then enjoy a more personal take on the last month of this year.

about

It’s about more than just food.

It’s about a mindset and a perspective on living a full, active and interesting life.

The Cast Iron Guy blog heated up in January 2021 as a journal of uncomplicated things, life lived, and a mindset that reflects the philosophical practicality of well-seasoned cast iron frying pan: enduring, simple, down-to-earth & extremely useful.

I write regularly from here in the Canadian Prairies about things that interest me, including the artistic inspiration I get outdoors, travel, gear, growing and cooking food, fire craft, suburban and nature trails, running, and (of course) the clever and curious ways I find to use my many pieces of cast iron cookware.
