We’re back in the factory, some of us still in our party clothes from the Good Food Awards. Cam’s back to work at the temperer, but couldn’t wait to change out of his tie and fancy shoes. It was a fantastic night, full of people who love what they do, and I’m pretty happy to be among them.

Todd accepted our award for our Costa Rica 70%, Batch 2, and we got our first medal. It’s pretty awesome, in the shape of a chocolate bar with a big bite out of it. Tonight it’s hanging on one of our shelves, keeping us company while we winnow a big batch of Madagascar and make a few more bars for the morning. Now that our temperer’s working again, we’re working really hard to get ahead and it feels great to be making bars.

Tomorrow you have two chances to catch us. Todd and I will be at the Good Food Awards Marketplace from 9 AM – 2 PM at the Ferry Building. Our regular Saturday customers can find Cam and Chiann at the Noe Valley Farmer’s Market. I think the excitement of tonight should carry us through to tomorrow’s early start.
