Just back from a research trip into the Ozarks. We drove into the Fayetteville area to go to the University's library. On the way I placed my order with Osage Clayworks for custom crocks and jugs.
The next day we got to the library where I had arranged a private handling of their rare book collection. They have a special Ozark Heritage collection which includes all sorts of old cookbooks. This one is actually crap but still kinda fun in a mans-plaining sort of way.
This one is much cooler. The old one I viewed was 1904, and in all about 20 books. More details later.
(I'm sure there's a way to flip this image but I can't figure it out.)
