so many things we do here at Carter's and we've been elected to Desserts pretty much every time .
but we are also the best bakery (in my opinion)
and our coffee is pretty good. Caffe Vita by the way.
and our focaccia sandwiches.
Soup. We were in the running for soup last time.
our out door seating is quite fabulous, even if all i get to do is water it every day.

Hidden Gem? Are we Hidden? I guess kinda. Gem?? For sure. Amethyst maybe

anyway.

One is allowed to vote every day for all the categories.

Curry chicken soup today.
And veggie chili.

I thought the curry chicken could be more curry-ish. Currified?
others found it kinda spicy.
Comes with either some of today's focaccia or whole wheat multy grain bread.

then have ice cream.
going to be more of the Dubai ice cream soon, that was a little too popular,
so is Snozzberry.
Now that we have snozzberry, berry cream, strawberry and brickleberry, trying to decide whether or not to make di*******ry.

I forgot to mention, there is voting happening now... last year we were in the voting for Best Soup, in addition to Best Bakery (lost :( ) and Best Desserts (won that election!! Thanks You PO!)

We need to be in the top five to get into the voting for Best Soup which i would enjoy this year again. Last year it came out of the blue but i do think we have really nice soups. So, vote if you want, i'll try to find a link.

I think we have nice sandwiches too !

I don't think its going to get to 90 degrees today,

Making sea salt caramels in the wee hours when temperatures favor chocolatiering.
That's the sunrise creating the fabulous lighting.
Almost worth getting up at 4.

A couple of our Special Flavors today... Dubai Ice Cream, which is the great thing about making both chocolates and ice cream.
instead of wasting any excess Dubai filling and the edges off molds, we get a new ice cream flavor.
Its been a while since i invented Brickleberry so to alleviate boredom here is Snozzberry... which is a slightly tart and fruity blackberry based ice cream that no one else has.
Also in the freezer today is Matcha Man Ice Cream, touched with strawberry because that's a good combo. I'm personally not a Matcha Fan, but i thought it needed more matcha ~ although opinions may vary. Taste before committing to an entire scoop!
There is also Caramel Crunch, a combination of all the scraps from making chocolate and all the nuts. Not suitable for allergy people. I used to make something like that and when folks asked what's it is, which varies one batch to another, i would say, "whatever we swept up off the floor today".
Health department doesn't want me doing that...
And there is Spicy Chocolate and maybe some others i can't remember.
We may run low on flavors later in the day, there is still a freezer issue and we can't keep as much on hand as usual.

Strawberry Shortcakes, Very Berry cheesecakes and Fruit Tarts are still featuring the fabulous local berries from Colello's Farm Stand Produce
So, after, before or during your visit to the port Port Orchard Farmers Market today, pop in.

and don't forget that we will have the AC pumping on Monday when its 90, plus i will be spending some time outside with a hose.
