I was flipping through an old Newfoundland recipe book from 1979 and came upon molasses bull’s eyes. That’s a confection from my youth. Mrs. Power’s candy store on New Gower just down from Andrews Range had the best.

Aristotle believed that to become a virtuous man, in addition to abstract wisdom, you needed practical wisdom.
