What happened to the raley's confectionary guy? His website says out of stock for everything and his thread was archived without a message so I assume he just closed up shop?

Also I will legit overdose on sugar if you start making rock candy. Especially if they have tiny strawberry pictures in them. Strawberry rock candy is basically my favorite thing on this planet and I was sad when our goonfriend stopped making them. I'm pumped to see what you come up with!
You should be happy to hear that I had a phone conversation with Leroy back in January, and he was nice enough to give me his strawberry recipe for free! I can’t make candies that look very pretty, but I can make pretty dang tasty strawberry candy.
Maybe a byob giveaway is in order... give me like a month...
In the meantime, you may be interested to hear that Leroy sold most of his recipes to Wishing Treats in Vancouver. Not sure if they make it quite as well as he did, or that it won’t cost a ton to ship from Canada, but it might be worth a look.

As someone who hires people and reviews resumes I can tell you that yes, gaps are something that are looked at and must be addressed in the resume or cover letter. With that said, any reasonable gap can be managed, especially if it can be spun as having been an enriching experience that informs your work. So a gap can be ignored or even considered an overall positive depending on how well they are spun.
Let's say, hypothetically, I have an 8 month gap in my resume between my first job and my second job, and the reason was because I was lazy and depressed and didn't know what to do with my life. How do I explain that in a way a hiring manager can understand? Or am I hosed?

well, you could fib and say you were doing some sort of gig work or trying to start a small business of some sort like lawn care or dog walking etc.
gig work is real common these days and is a plausible alibi imo

Oh, also: I built a warming table, so I can try to make image candy, like that goon Leroy Diplowski used to do. Gonna try selling it at farmers’ markets as cottage food
tbh i thought you were going to make those hard candies out of that table - only because i have no idea how making those actually works. activated my sweet tooth for sure though.

It's heartwarming that you guys are kinda supporting me in this odd business endeavor!

Nah, that's a table that keeps the sugar warm & malleable while you're forming it into different shapes. It's pretty much just a bain-marie with a sheet of aluminum on top, with some nonstick teflon covering the aluminum.
I'm currently researching ingredients. Hard candy is normally made with a combination of white table sugar and a syrup, such as corn syrup. Hmm, should I use corn syrup, or brown rice syrup? The answer is clear if I want to appear to be a wholesome business: Cliff Bars, Yum Organic Lollipops, and others have fully embraced brown rice syrup as a seemingly healthier corn syrup substitute. But it's not clear to me that it's really much different from corn syrup. God, there's so much misinformation out there; people are on a rampage against high fructose corn syrup due to the presence of fructose, without even realizing that regular table sugar is about 55% fructose...
I just kinda hate brown rice syrup because it's NOT healthy, just like every other sugar, but it "sounds" healthier (brown rice is commonly touted as a health food). Oh well, I guess first of all I should actually order some and try using it in a batch, to see if it works as well as corn syrup.
