Funeral Potatoes & Wool MittensRecipes, Rhubarb Muffins, Roseville Restaurants and Mississippi River Road Trips with Shannon ThomasserThis is a classic story of two Midwesterners becoming friends over a grandma's handed-down rhubarb muffin recipe.
Growing up in New Richmond, Wisconsin, Shannon's grandmothers, aunts and mom were great Midwestern cooks. Even so, she didn't watch or pay attention to how they worked their culinary magic in the kitchen or with recipes. Her job was to set the table and clean up after dinner.
Eventually, they rubbed off on her.
