About Food & Home
The corner store candy counter was a small miracle of abundance — rows of glass jars filled with gumdrops, caramels, and horehound drops, each priced so a child with a few coins felt rich. You pointed, the shopkeeper scooped, and the rustle of a paper bag was the sweetest sound in the neighborhood. Some of those flavors — the bite of licorice, the slow burn of peppermint, the sticky pull of taffy — never really leave you.
