My mom came to visit this past Saturday and we went together to a nearby town to go to some thrift stores & stop at this awesome little cafe to get an order of corn nuggets! I only know of two or three places that make these little fried delicacies:
They are a mix of corn and creamed corn - fried into little bite-sized pieces. They are gooey and delicious! The cafe is quite charming and I really wish that it was in my town instead of 45 minutes away. They serve coffee, a large variety of sandwiches with great sides like the corn nuggets.
The place is called "Past Times" and is located in downtown Watertown South Dakota. A friend of mine from high school introduced me to the place.
I like the tall booths and cool old ceilings. The people who work there are very nice and the food is fresh, unique and tasty!
But enough of food - we also went to a bunch of the thrift stores in town. A number of them are independent (not chain stores) and have great prices. The Goodwill in town is pretty good too (some Goodwills in other towns just seem to have relatively high prices). One thrift store goes by the name of "Saks Thrift Avenue" (funny!)
I came home with a small assortment of 80s toys including two small Pound Puppies, a miniature Popple, My Little Pony sea pony float (pink alligator), a red Sprite (originally sold at Taco Bell), and a bag full of great 80s stampers! The bag had 6 Poochie stampers and 2 My Little Pony stampers. It was great fun and I spent under $5.
