I found miniature peanut butter cups awhile back at the Olde Tyme Pantry in Farmington, but only recently got around to baking with them. Before I accepted my job in rural Missouri, I researched yoga classes in the area. A couple of months ago, in my search for a local dentist who was both on y insurance plan and available to see me on short notice, I found myself surrounded by wooden paneling and framed pictures of owls. It was like I sat down in the dentist’s chair and magically arrived in 1976. This weekend was the Moses Austin Festival in Potosi, Missouri. I spent part of my day on Saturday wandering the streets of downtown Potosi (Population 2,500 or so), trying to snag some good photos, and trying to learn more about the town. |
