A birthday memory: Lardy Lordy Taffy candy making Birthday Girl Jean Cravens who celebrates nine decades of life today, May 5, 2020, shared the memory below about her big brother Arthur Lee Waggener and their early life on Jamestown Hill in Columbia: A lot of the kids from my time growing up on Jamestown Hill probably remember Arthur Lee's efforts at making taffy. Candy bars, even at a nickel a bar, were an out of reach luxury for most of the neighborhood kids. So it was that when Arthur Lee made his first batch of taffy, there were eager takers when he offered to share. It wasn't the usual taffy experience. It had a whole different texture, and almost made you swallow quickly whether you were wanting to savor longer or not. In fact, everyone commented on how slippery it was. Later, the reason came out. The recipe called for Crisco, but Mother was out. Arthur improvised with lard, and that's what made it so slippery, we decided. Didn't matter. We were craving anything sugary, and his lardy-lordy-taffy had plenty of that, and was quickly devoured. This story was posted on 2020-05-05 04:37:15
