Home again. Todays trip was spawned by a commercial on tv last night to get a 30 dollar gift certificate for Mammy's Kitchen for 15 dollars. I go there and ask the hostess about purchasing one, she says "oh that's on the WDRB website only, we don't sell those here".
I went back out to my car and sat there and pulled it up on my phone. I went there to get a gift certificate and by gawd that's what I did.
The old dudes weren't at the bakery yet, they know that kids go there before they head to school, I wasn't privy to that info.
Did get to chat for about 15 minutes with Hadorn though. He lives there at the place and was on his way inside after finishing the baking for the day. He starts at 0100 and bakes til around 0700. He makes all of his own fillings and icing. Said he goes through 600lbs of confectioners sugar per week. He does good work.
I told him I was about to start making my own dough for pizza's instead of buying it and he gave me a few tips. He told me if I ran into problems to stop back in and he could tell me how to fix anything that might go wrong. Nice dude.
Went to two antique stores and a piddlers mall. Was looking for kitchen knives, cast iron skillets, and a sharpening stone. Upstairs in one of the antique stores I spotted a stone. 2"x6" dual sided with a rough and fine. Even had the very old wood tray for it to sit in. Looked very old but not worn at all. 7 bucks.
After that it was cruising back roads just to see where they went. Found 3 roads that dead end with a dead end sign. They don't put the sign at the beginning of the road where it would be useful, they put it at the end where it's quite evident the road goes no further.
