A well-known and much beloved member of our cast iron community, Cynthia Wesley, passed away unexpectedly this week. She was a regular member of several cast iron YouTube channels, including the Mudbrooker, Honeybadger, Luis J., and especially our YouTube channel, Cast Iron Chaos. I inquired with Mr. and Mrs. Pawpaw Dan as to what her favorite dish wasm and I was told she was especially a fan of cajun cooking. That made it easy to determine what to cook on YouTube Live tonight.
Tonight on YouTube Live, we'll be remebering Cynthia and cooking one of her favorite cast iron dishes...namely, gumbo. We'll be remembering her not with sadness but with love and respect, and as a bonus you'll get to see a Yankee attempt to cook gumbo in a big cast iron pot! Most of all, we're here on this channel to have fun, and so we'll be enjoying ourselves in our live chat room tonight as we remember our friend Cynthia...winner of many cast iron giveaways, and collectopr of many cast iron pans, including a sizable number of BS&R pieces. This live video is officially scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM tonight, but we'll probably start earlier than 8 because I want to ensure the preparations are ready by 8...especially cooking sausage.
