It’s strange, to live in such a globalized, sanitized, commodified, convenient-ized world, that a person could conceivably not know what food is actually in season, in any given month.

Here’s a post I found, for January:

I do not have the same amount of energy this time of year that I’d have at high noon in mid-July. And this is perfectly okay. It’s biologically adaptive. It’s how we’re wired. For me, this looks like long winter naps, moving slow, eating shortbread cookies/rich warm food, spending time with family, and appreciating the seemingly mundane landscapes of my childhood like this one ~ Kat Weed

Which, combined with a thoughtful solstice posts from Kat Weed about how she syncs in to embrace the long dark of December, inspired me to think about what else is in season, in January?

• snowshoe adventures
• puzzles
• reading by the fire and calling it free time, not stolen time
• cooking up some soup
• ski days!

Of course, there’s also escaping to Mexico.

February nears. What have you got?
