Looking for a Candy Thermometer

Hi! Can any one think of a Cambridge/Somerville store that might sell candy thermometers? I've tried a few big supermarkets and they have meat thermometers but those don't go up high enough in temperature.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

Edited: Woo hoo! I called Tags and they say they carry them. Thanks for the suggestions all.

Now I can try my hand at these Fleur De Sel Caramels by Barefoot Contessa! :)

Tags? I'd call them and ask at any rate.

Crate and Barrel in Harvard Square should have one if all else fails.

Tags in Porter?

If you find yourself in a dire scrap or prefer not to buy one, I may have one you could borrow, but I won't know til I get home in a couple hours.

China Fair?

Maybe China Fair has them - Mass Ave.

FYI, according to the comments, some of the measurements on that page are incorrect (that is, they don't match the recipe Ina actually made). The corrected recipe is here: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Fleur-de-Sel-Caramels-230778
